[quote=Jacarandoso][quote=flu][quote=Jacarandoso]What exactly is wrong with class warfare FLU? Why should the rich guys go unchecked in their own campaign against the rest of America and the world.
My question about the people protesting is: Where was all their do-gooding when we were bombing the hell out of Iraq? Probably hoping we would get cheaper gas and an economy, maybe a welfare state that was a bit better than what they seem to be facing.[/quote]
because fingerpointing is a political agenda…Everyone was to blame for the financial crisis…Banks wrote shoddy loans…But obviously there was a market for them because people wanted them…
Anyone who wants to rail against wall street probably should come clean and boycott all their dependencies on “wall street products”…no different than if one really is so anti-china, to boycott products from china…Boycott your 401k, IRA, Roth IRA’s, stocks, bonds, derivatives are all a product of Wall Street more or less…And boycott big bank and move to a local one (preferably one that is still solvent)….[/quote]
I agree that there is a lot of sour grapes, hypocrisy and begging going on in all of this. Certainly, it is political. Still, it’s very unreasonable and unfair to expect people to be quiet unless they opt out of the system and cultural aspects of it entirely. Everybody should have a right to argue for their definition of what a just society is.[/quote]
The cause of the crisis is the capitalist world system itself. Which is where all fingers should be pointed. The extremely bad, irrational, corrupt and violent behavior by the elite is because they serve a system of endless capital accumulation. It’s like some kind of acceptable psychotic delusion. The have to keep feeding this system or it will collapse. Their behavior will only get more erratic and dangerous as time goes on. Their paranoia and decaying mental faculties is palpable – which is a hallmark of all societies in decay.
