MASS PSYCHOSIS - How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL

[Gunny]

Should be required viewing. Sounds a whole lot like what's been going on in this country/society. Right down to the isolation (covid lockdown).

yes the greater good.

often there is a greater good, but it's nearly always not what the totalitarians are offering.

Isn't that the sell though? "greater good", "needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few", et al. Wrap the fear mongering/BS in a sound principle and sell it to casual-to-non-thinking masses.

To the point that the authoritarian minority currently is forcing the desires of the (very) few onto the masses at the expense of the needs of the many. And selling it for the greater good because if you don't agree with woke inclusiveness you're a hateful bigot and the masses live in absolute terror of being labeled such, never mind if it's not true.

greater good can be a real thing. like a good school system, or honest cops.

the evil imposter greater good is generally a harder sell, like, "why is it smart to send all the jobs away"?


good and evil do exist.


globalism being portrayed as unconditionally good (a greater good) should raise red flags.

Globalism is bad as it is only good for the globalists.
Globalism leads towards a dictatorial government, imho. --Tyr

Part of the problem: can't see the forest for the trees. I was referring to how it applies to our government. Fix our government and globalism isn't an issue unless it is what the People want and vote for. In the latter case, anti-globalists are SOL. In the meantime, a government that is representing itself is foisting whatever it wants on the People, which is the general topic, not just globalism. I don't see any global, "woke" movement.

all the payola that corrupts the government comes from globalist financial institutions that are profitizing destruction and division, and rewarding evil.

while i could theorically being on board with some form of greater global order, the current one being created now is definitely a creation of demons.

we want totalitarianism against pedo. and we actually want cops too, with significant stopping power. we're not animals. we just also want tariffs and america first trade policy.

this is not too much to ask far.

this used to be called just being a country.

you people have changed.

Indeed. People DO LIKE the prices that come with competition or rather globalism! That politicians like Biden Inc set up ways for their own enrichment, doesn't mean competition is bad, rather particular persons are. Same with business leaders that abuse their opportunities to exploit others, here and abroad.

A good rule or thumb, often called one of the logical fallacies is beware of persons speaking in absolutes.

only up to a point. no matter how low prices get, you have zero buying power when your job is sent away.

the good is short lived, and there are long term consequences to losing markets, and even production capacity itself.


consider it from defense points of view, all you hawks.


is it smart to have your enemy in charge of your supply lines?

what would west point say?

Simple truth: The People of the US are as responsible for jobs LEAVING (as opposed to being "sent away" as the government and capitalists. Capitalists are in business to make money, period. There's no incentive for them to stay here.

Mostly via the Dems but originally the Republicans, industry has been regulated out of business. Add spoiled Americans who are also in business to make money and their labor unions with their overheads and Americans have put themselves out of business and incentivized industry leaving. Our industry cannot compete on the World market fairly because of us and our government.

Again, fix the government to represent what is best for the Nation and its people without catering to their every desire and you solve most of these issues. The sheeple don't want to educate themselves. Easier to let a government in business for itself to tell them what to think.

Exactly. Realize what the 'global rate' is for your job-make decisions. Choose different field; argue for more competitive salaries across the board-bringing US products in line with others-when possible. Have business leaders, politicians that speak truth to workers and truth to business owners/stock holders on price points with competition. If someone had done that in the 50s 60s we likely would still have a steel industry. Talk about reinvesting and R & D to American corps, that were happy to keep paying more and more for less quality and bigger profits.

No one reason has caused any of this-no one is doing anything other than spitting in the wind like Trump, ginning up his followers into a frothing from the mouth bunch of whiners, with zero clue to how economics work.

Wow, I guess any thread can be about globalism.

Free trade FTW!

This used to drive me nuts, but Jim has always been of the mindset that however a thread meandered, it just did. What isn't ok, is just interjecting 'globalism'; 'you suck, you know it's true!'; those type of diversions if you will.
