It’s Funny How Hollywood Creates Characters With a Certain ‘Language’
A ‘Language’ That Denotes The Character Has “Great Pride Courage & Wisdom”
Yet The Thing They Are Doing Or Aiming For Is Usually a ‘Fool’s Errand’
An Errand That Would Never Work In The Real World
Of Course, In The Story It Succeeds.
‘Hollywood’ Aims To Program Modern Day Serfs (Called ‘Low Wage Employees’) With Bad Ideas
So, They Will Never Join The Aristocracy
And So the Aristocracy Feasts With Untrammled Gluttony
Aristocracy Plunders Tangible & Intangible Goods
The Products Of The Metaphorical Farmed Animals – The Modern Day Serf
And The Harvest? Mansions, Status, Accolades awards memberships etc
This Could Be Like A Packaged Orange Drink
Get Your “SerfJuiceTM Its Ultra Concentrated Wealth – Freshly Squeezed From The Serfs”
This Cabal ensures wealth is always trickling upwards
From the disempowered to the Aristocracy.
Of Course, There Is a Small ‘Eye Of The Needle’ Left Open –
But That Is Only There To Maintain The Mirage, To Create ‘Plausible Deniability’
They can say “See you can make it too, look at him – he rose up from poverty to riches”
Left Unsaid: “All he had to do was sell both his soul to us, & you down the river”
To Be Clear – I’m Not Against Someone Getting Rich
There Are The Good Rich Who Do A Lot At A small Margin To Benefit The Whole
The Ideal Example Is The Old-Fashioned Industrialist
Operating In a Competitive Market
He Pays well
The Workers Make Good Goods
The Worker Serves Good Services
They Work Hard
They Get a Good wage
His Family Prospers
The Industrialist makes a healthy but Fair Profit.
This is to be applauded.
It’s The Parasitic investor that I’m talking about.
He’s The Guy Who Makes The Workers Deeds Irrational
For Why Would Anyone Work To Lose Money?
It’s Not Economically Reasonable.
Yet Just Look Around – This Is Where We Find Ourselves.
Yes The Parasitic Investor Owns The nice House On The Hill
But Under His Persian Rugs Lies More Than A Few Bodies
I Am Against The Man
Who Regales In His Sneakily Manufactured Shortages
I Am Merely Saying To You Sir & Madam
We Don’t Need None Of That Stuff Anymore
I’m Merely Calling a Spade A Spade
And Applauding Those That Actually Dig The Ground With It
And Then Plant Crops For Us All To Feast Upon.
So Don’t Dare Call Me A Marxist!
Let It Be Known Here Once & For All
I’m For A Pro Adam Smith Production Based Competitive Economy
Because My Fine Friend
That’s Simply All that Works In the Long Run.
