PBS SELLS OUT - A SAD DAY FOR MANKIND

kevingrr says...

Per usual Cenk is full hyperbole, void of facts, and likely misleading.

PBS stepped out of bounds, the article pointed it out, and they gave back the money and cancelled the show.

Now that is passed we can all go back to forgetting about the pensions promised by politicians, who are now long gone, that have huge shortfalls.

Winter Driving is Dangerous! Please slow down

Winter tires are great, but the biggest thing is control your speed. You can have AWD with winter tires and still slide slide.

I drive about 20k miles a year. I need to get a dashcam to record the crazies.

Statism Is Dead ~ The Matrix As A Metaphor

kevingrr says...

@enoch

Currently I'm paid mostly via commission. I work for a small company where my boss/partner and I work completely independent of any management. I have in the past been paid hourly, biweekly, etc.

It is a stretch to call people slaves, livestock, etc when they are working and exchanging goods and services in a market like ours. Granted there are inequalities, manipulations, and individuals or groups who operate with little morality.

It is a further stretch to blame government for abuses like Abu Ghraib. If 11 or so soldiers commit terrible acts. Does that mean all soldiers are bad? That the government of the country they were from are bad? It just doesn't follow.

The speaker is confused about a lot of things. Democracy is a livestock management approach? What?

Statism is not an excuse for violence. Ignorance and intolerance are. Statism is a general term.

To Xmas and Beyond

Statism Is Dead ~ The Matrix As A Metaphor

kevingrr says...

I studied English and Philosophy in school and have continued reading a lot of utopian/dystopian literature since. My familiarity with economics and economic history pales in contrast, but the close relationship with subjects I am interested in has caused me to spend some time and consideration learning what I can.

That said, when I see a video like this I lump it into the same pseudo intellectual/science/news that things like Bill O'Reilly, TYT, Kirk Cameron, Creationists and bigots bring to mind.

Why did I watch this? Well I'm open to listening to legitimate and informative critiques of socioeconomic systems. If they are particularly good it can lead to all sorts of follow up questions and inquiries. I get bored while i'm "slaving" away at work so I put things on in the background...

Then there videos like this. There are very few facts throughout the entire video. The analogies used are misleading. The terrible acts and downfalls of groups, individuals, or particular ideologies are often blown out of proportion entirely. There is no nuanced investigation, no insights, nothing but a self satisfied narrator with droll delivery.

Thanks for rummaging through my videos for dead links. I'll pass on using my downvote on this video.
