Scrooge McDuck I mean Corporate America

I agree, and GoG is clearly very intelligent, the sky is the limit, so if I am correct and it is resentment, that has gotta go

Good luck with that, I ain't interested in parley with internetz bolshies, call me when you're ready to have the Mounties club them like baby seals.

I see an old version of myself in people sometimes, like here, and my path is to speak my truth the best I can, and admit when I'm wrong

which is kinda faggy, I know

Nah, that ain't faggy, I'm just one to cut to the chase, I've had my fill of instructing the young, I'm retired now, if they stay off HM Lawn, they can go in peace, if they cause a ruckus, that will simply be the clubbing of the baby seals, and then, back to hockey season.

Any Regulation = Socialism
Any Laws = Socialism
Any Taxes = Socialism
Anything other than Sucking and Cucking up to the Kleptocracy = Socialism

You'd rather a few hundred families rake in billions upon billions than telling them they've had enough. Every religious tradition, and moral teaching around the world warn against the excesses of hording wealth. You call this advice socialism. I call your love of greed a sin. I guess we should just kill each other and find out whose camp is left standing afterwards.

Don't be offended by the following question

I predict you are resentful of your place in the economic dominance hierarchy. True or false?

Dont Jordan Peterson me. I'm good, i've watched his lectures on Personality and Maps of Meaning. I agree resentment isn't a good resourceful emotion. I also know even Peterson isn't opposed to change, revolution, or new order. That's what the "open" and "creative" people are for. Its always a balancing act. Too much order or too much chaos is a bad thing. Its out of alignment theres too much accumulation and control of resources by a few families/conglomerates. Time for a course correction.

There are times to flip the board.

I will watch it later.

Of course you did not answer the question, the jury takes note.

Have fun with your revolution, though someone as smart as you would likely have a better life trying to win the game instead of break it.

And I'm really not trying to be a dick, I see you want the board flipped, and I agree there is tremendous injustice and unnecessary suffering, but don't lose perspective, you are in the .00000001% luckiest people ever born

I refer you guys to the stoicism thread.

Your happiness, beyond a baseline level of quality of life, is not in any way contingent on having access to more shit. If anything, more wealth is likely to make you less happy.

I live on a fixed income for the time being. I used to make six figures. I am happier now.

How do you bozos think you can appreciate even more luxuries when you can't even learn to appreciate the ones you have?

Who you talkin' to? I appreciate my luxuries, right down to the very last one, in fact, I'm gonna appreciate a Cuban ceegar right about now, and as it's not five o'clock yet, I will enjoy it with a macchiato rather than a cocktail, and maybe just chill out here on the outdoor sofa, amongst my red and green maples round my patio, and contemplate just how nice it is actually is, to stop and smell the roses from time to time.

Mind you, Mountie seal clubs cocked locked and ready to rock, if anybody causes a ruckus, tryin' to appreciate my luxuries up in here, pipe down, internetz bolshies.

He's right.
PM me for my Paypal account info, should any of you wish to unburden yourselves of excess wealth.

[Speaker to Animals]

How somebody else making more money than me in a free marketplace is me "getting robbed daily" will have to remain a mystery. I am not sure I want to become an expert on lunacy.

Tell you what's luxurious, late August weather, the sun is warm, the breeze is cool, the dogs are lounging on the lawn... oh heck, that grass has gotten long as I've been sittin' around sunbathing, time to appreciate the luxury of a self proprelled all wheel drive lawnmower...
