"Things You Wouldn't Know If We Didn't Blog Intermittently."

People as "sheeple"
This 13-minute video has such a bleak worldview that I've sandwiched it between some lighter fare in a "unicorn maneuver" (if I'm using the right term there). But I do think it's worth offering for your consideration.
The tone and content present a sort of Orwellian view of the mass of humankind being subject to the controls and whims of powerful rulers. It was apparently created by Stefan Molyneux at Freedomain Radio, who writes in his YouTube blurb: "We can only be kept in the cages we do not see. A brief history of human enslavement - up to and including your own."
Stefan Molyneux, never heard of him up until your post. That small film was pretty bleak, but it struck a few chords with what I've been thinking about and how I've been feeling over the last year or so. It's hard to look at the world around you sometimes and take it in rationally, especially with so much trite distractions being paraded about town by the populus on a throne of ignorance and gold. My apologies for that bitter regurgitation. There's just no-one here to say it to
Meh. Some good points, but most of it was done in such an overwrought and near-hysterical way that it's almost a parody of itself. Good inclusion of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail though. "I thought we lived in a anarcho-syndicalist commune!"
Pretty juvenile and bleak look on life. Sure what we have isn't perfect, but what he's proposing, a peaceful anarchy, ain't possible, at least not for another few hundred years.
And it seems that this Stefan Molyneaux guy is a hypocrite. His online community is more of a cult, and he's abusing his power (as a "farmer") to convince people to leave their families and never talk to them again: http://bit.ly/11Ips5

No apologies necessary. I understand how you feel - that's why I blog.

ReplyDeleteDr. Veith states the same general theory as the video, with proof. See lectures: 211, 215, 216, 221, 223, 224, 226
