“Entrepreneurship Porn”

[Martin Hash]

Entrepreneur is a dirty word in the Democratic party. I've seen women say it in disgust, with a sneer: "Oh, an entrepreneur." The first time I encountered this attitude 10 years ago, I thought it was isolated, but now it's mainstream because entrepreneurs are associated with Capitalism. Now that Democrats are Socialists, expect an anti-entrepreneur campaign in the schools, schools, and entertainment.

Looks like the term was coined less by jealous, Commie-Hobos and more by investors and bankers tired of young people - to their minds - overreaching, and not being as concerned with safety and stabilty as they are.

The notion that entrepreneurship is threatened in the US, is something I read not too long ago in a Danish interview with an American economist (can't remember his name, will look him up later*). The guy was making the point that the level of ambition, entrepreneurship and willingness to take risks has been in decline for decades.

He used the example of it taking several decades to get from planning stage to finished project for some big highway project somewhere in the US. He compared that how long it took from planning to execution when it came to putting people on the moon.

*Edit: Found the guy's name: Tyler Cowen, article I was reading was reviewing his book "The Complacent Class".

They’re constantly chipping away at every pillar of American success. Entrepreneurship, nuclear families, faith in God, self sufficiency, business acumen, Protestant work ethic - all must be destroyed.

How else can we achieve the utopia of a bunch of lazy, ammoral, single-parent-raised, perpetual victims, being 100% dependent upon the government for survival?

Man, this is gonna be great.

All those threatened things you mentioned are "The Patriarchy." Losers in The Patriarchy would rather kick over the whole system, and start a new one where new rules would give them the advantage, and what do they have that The Patriarchy doesn't have? Their skin color, their willingness to wear a hijab, their victimhood. Identity Politics is an attempt to change the goals of America to something that puts the Losers in control.

All the more reason these Chicken Little “Entrepreneurship is so hard, it’s so DANGEROUS, you cannot succeed” articles are completely unnecessary. American youth doesn’t need extra encouragement to feel like helpless victims living in a land where success is nothing but a fantasy.

Meanwhile first generation immigrants are coming here and building successful businesses every day. I guess they didn’t get the memo that everything is just too fucking hard and hopeless to bother with.

Everyone knows that "entrepreneurship" is nothing more than armed robbery of labor. Entrepreneurship Porn calls out capitalist propaganda as snuff films for wannabe slavers dreaming of stamping the life out of their slaves. The fantasy of manipulating and enslaving labor for stolen profit is . . . uh, what now?

Anyway, Bezos is the Great Satan.

Amazon and Sanders Butt Heads as Senator Prepares 100 Percent Tax Bill

Last week, Sanders sent out an email to supporters asking them to sign a petition that declares in part, "I don't believe that ordinary Americans should be subsidizing the wealthiest person in the world because you pay your employees inadequate wages."

By Friday, Sanders said he had collected more than 100,000 signatures and would introduce legislation in September "to demand that Mr. Bezos and other billionaires get off welfare and start paying their workers a living wage."

That bill would require companies to pay, in the form of a 100 percent tax, for any public assistance programs used by their lower-wage workers.

"While Mr. Bezos is the most egregious example, the Walton family of Walmart and many other billionaire-owned large and profitable companies also enrich themselves off taxpayer assistance while paying their workers poverty-level wages," he said.

The takeaway on Bernie: The labor theory of value is bad ju-ju, fam (especially as preached by a sap who has never done any labor).

I was talking with a friend/colleague yesterday and we were talking about becoming millionaires, (you know, just having at least a million dollars) which I suggested was totally achievable considering his salary/potential and he came at me with these statistics on how only wealthy people come from wealthy families. I told him that statistics like that aren't important because they don't account for the bums that never try and those that spend their time hustling. So while his salary alone won't make him filthy rich, I remarked on how he has the capital to invest (which he never does because the greedy rich will just steal it), or start a business of his own, (which he probably won't do because successful businessmen are greedy bad people). He is quite intelligent and a few years younger than I am, with decades of productive time ahead of him, and he is already resigned because the system is rigged. I am sure he thinks I am a naive because he comes at me these talking points which I don't buy into. I like the dude, but he's a bucket crab and that shit wears on you.

That’s what I’m saying, bro.
Mind poison.
One more vial of venom for the psyche of America’s youth, as if they need further encouragement.

Kids living in the most prosperous, most diverse, mightiest nation on Earth and they can’t enjoy being at the apex of human quality-of-life. Why? Because mind poisoners have convinced them they’re actually salves being exploited in the greediest, most racist, most oppressive culture EVER.

That’s some god-level Twlight Zone shit right there, except it also happens to be a modern day reality.

The solution is Vouchers.

The solution is Vouchers.

How so?
Returning the choice of educational institutions to parents will result in competition forcing schools to produce results for their students?

Why wouldn’t generation victimhood choose the most SJW-leaning schools in order to perpetuate their religion and pass it on to the next generation? You might get schools cranking out high performers. You might get SJW Madrasas. Who can say?

Although, having options is definitely better than fighting over the one, monolithic, public education system. I’m with you there.
