My guess is that it's because the Moderators are slowly starting to figure-out that
there might be something strange going on that they were simply unaware of.

Everyone has their own method and time-frame for "waking-up".
Some will never wake-up, and there's absolutely nothing You can do about it.
Just be careful that they don't take You down with them.

You can't "tell them", You must "show them".
Now famous quote from a U.S. Military-Intelligence source.

I now tend to "tip-toe" around the edges to give everyone a chance to
start questioning things without going too far off the deep-end.
Resist the temptation to blast people with a Fire-Hose of information
when a Squirt-Gun is usually more effective.

It's OK,
everyone is exactly where they need to be in their own personal adventure.
Let them be who they are, and kindly support them when they start to ask questions.
And remember, it will still take several weeks, or more, before they get over their inevitable incredulity.
Resist the desire to yell ........ "SEE I Told You So", because it won't help anything in the long-run.

"SEE I Told You So"

A phrase for the young megalomaniac seeking recognition of superiority.

 

This is the single most political statement anyone could make on this forum about anything.

Over 100 million human beings have been murdered over -- and in favor of -- this exact statement.

Their feelings weren't hurt. Their lives were taken.

Why is this acceptable for a moderator when I've been threatened with a lifetime ban for much less?

I was sort of surprised of the blatant expression of Marxism–Leninism conspiracy theory so I deflected it with a sarcastic response.

 

...conspiracy theory...

It's not a theory. It's the root of all the evil in this world.

But -- this time -- he and his comrades will get it right.

Marxism–Leninism is real and evil (personal experience). I mean the ruling class cabal, people are puppets conspiracy theory that only differs from the far right to the far left about who the current cabal leaders are.

The concept, if not the name, appeared as early as the 1850s, as in this remark by Bayard Taylor about two French travelers he met in Beirut:

In the midst of [the debate] I was struck by the cordiality with which the Monarchist[9] and the Socialist united in their denunciations of England and English laws. As they sat side by side, pouring out anathemas against "perfide Albion", I could not help exclaiming : "Voilà, comme les extrêmes se rencontrent!" {"See, how the extremes meet!") [10]

Someone cracked open the door, so it's being kicked open before it closes again.

 

This thread is about the stock market, which is about money, which is about slavery, which existed in all of the history of humanity and which still exists today.

"When the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned and the last fish dead, we will discover that we cannot eat money."

So what's the solution? Marxism–Leninism? Where we all are equals but some are more equal than others and those that don't comply are sent to the gulag.



Sure. Pure Chomsky.

That's what I learned in psychology. The US Army did an experiment with goats on an island. Long story short, goats ate everything to their demise before they were air lifted back to the states.

 

What is money?

Money is debt on future generations.

That's a profound revelation. I knew in my head but never heard it expressed quite that way.

You don't want your money, give it to me if it makes you feel better.

The US Army wasted time and energy on that experiment as anyone with goats (or just about any creature on this planet) already knew the answer.

 

I don't want money, I want freedom.

Money is for the groupies and there checks and balances.

 

I had a goat once. His name was Billy. He would eat a soda can if it was too close.

Money is a proxy. To make money the point of contention as a possible instrument of evil intent is IMO not very intelligent, as systems of currency continue to exist under socialism and even most versions of global communism. It's a tool like a hammer. You can use it to build or destroy.

I'm using my money to build my kids educational future, others on the dirty streets of Portland use money to destroy life with drugs.

 

I have more money than I need to live comfortably.

In my little village where I live, I have been repairing other people's electronics and household appliances free of charge. I purchase replacement parts and pay for them out of my own pocket. It is my way of giving back to society for all the experience and knowledge I have gained in my working career.

If there is something you need repaired I will gladly do it for you if it is within my capability.

Still, if you have any extra dirty money, I'll take it off your hands.

 

For over twenty years, I have been studying how money is created. When the truth becomes known, the revelation is beyond shocking!

The TS and I have discussed this on many occasions.

 

Honestly ... I'll I've heard so far is complaints about how evil money is ... anyone cares to propose a real-world solution to their objections?

Now I know this is just a sarcastic joke. Please put it in the correct topic, The Jokes Thread.

 

Well, as long as the mods are allowing it:

One more time.

Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another–their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun.

Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips, and guns–or dollars. Take your choice–there is no other–and your time is running out.
