I've been looking forward to the release of Michael Moore's new flick, Capitalism: A Love Story, and of course there's the typical vitriol and bullshit that people spout because they can't seem to admit a fat ugly guy can be right about something. The same people don't seem to have any problems with Limbaugh. I think it's about time that someone shouts a call to arms against the rich, and I'm interested to see who's going to be the Marie Antoinette when we revolt against the many rich fucks who line the offices on Wall St. I've always believed that it's at least 90% likely that we're going to experience some kind of apocalyptic event in the next 10-20 years, such as:
1.) Devastating weather patterns
2.) Epidemic
3.) Collapse of economic infrastructure
4.) Usage of nuclear, biological, or chemical weaponry
5.) Skynet
6.) Zombies
One of the big reasons I want to get Lasik as soon as possible is because I anticipate some kind of collapse of our medical infrastructure in our lifetime, and when we're all scrambling around in the wreckage I don't want to be looking for my glasses or a bottle of contact solution.
Back to Michael Moore's movie, I'm just feeling this flick because it's finally a call to arms. Also, in the spirit of insurgency, I'm going to be downloading this thing and distributing it any way I can.
Aside from the corporate rich, who would avoid this movie as it may unwittingly inject some kind of moral fiber into their being, how could you look at the condition of U.S.'s citizens and not see anything wrong? How is it that companies can be "too big to fail"? I've always believed we should have let those companies burn and fined those who made the decisions to squander money on overly risky investments. Letting companies fail, isn't that capitalism?
Fuck Wall Street. I wish they could've been Ethered, Nas-style.
It's sad how America has degenerated into just one group calling the other group idiots, with no room for actual debate. Corporate interests fuel the angry rhetoric by spreading misinformation in order to keep any regulations that threaten their business from actually making it through Congress. Makes me wonder how it would be to live in another country and watch the US tear itself apart from the inside.
