On Abuse Team, or Facing the Era of Total Alienation

[alexakarpov]

The folowing is my translation of the text written by a rabbi Avrom Shmulevich (avrom), a leader of the "Be'ad Artzeinu" movement. He is a traditionalist Jew, to whom I hold a great respect. Avrom lives and works in Israel, but he is of russian origin and his LJ is written mostly in russian. I would like to emphasize that he did not participate in "anti

What a load of crap. This guy thinks Keynesian Liberalism is on the rise? Israel must have an annex of the Hoover Institute. Sadly, its the Hayek/VonMises/Friedman crowd in control these days. But I suppose he'd like them.

[alexakarpov]

Oh no, he wouldn't like them (and I dislike that libertarian crowd myself).

I think what's happening is that corporations are so intertwined with traditional authority (government etc) that it is indeed hard to tell, whenever it is government who interferes with market of if it's market who pushes government aside. Anyway, they both are a single Authority.

Government has ceased to exist except as an enforcement arm of the corporations, yes.

oh good job deleting that comment. makes you look like quite the advocate of free speech.

as i said in huge red text before, nobody gives a fuck so stop posting this shit.

[alexakarpov]

Posting "NO ONE CARES" with letters of the size which don't even fit on 2 screens is not a "free speech", it's plain stupidity and prevents others from reading the text, really. I thought you'd realize that. You see, I'm not even talking about how arrogant (and ignorant) a person must be to pretend he speaks for "everybody" - and saying "no one cares" means speaking for, literally, everybody. Too bad you made me to explain that to you - now you look even more stupid. Oh, right, no one cares.

[killhamster]

guess what? no one cares. they still don't.

[alexakarpov]

Even in cases when it seems to be true, it shouldn't stop the person from speaking his mind. For you never know whose ears your word may fall unto. Not this time, mayhaps, but some other day it surely will.

thanks.

See? That was not so hard to say in 100 words or less.

[alexakarpov]

Well... it is definitely not the content of the post above. Not a word. Sorry. In fact, you looked so smart writing that last comment, that now I'm kind of ashamed to tell you that you've totally missed the point.

Communism told you what to think and what to say

Now communism has gone you think anything goes.

Now you face capitalism. Instead of one large machine telling you what you can and can't do, everybody can do it. Welcome to our world.

[alexakarpov]

Excuse me, but what do you know about the thing you call "communism"? And, really, when was the last time you actually told someone what to do/not to do and was listened to?

[darkanansi]

when was the last time you actually told someone what to do/not to do and was listened to?

Daily.
And also on a daily basis someone will tell me what to do, and I will listen.

What you gain on the swings, you lose on the roundabouts. It's a juggling game of powerplay within powerplay. Some battles we win. Some we lose. And the game goes on.

[bigturtle]

The majority would always lose. This is by design.
