      @@turdferg9703 $125 is not bad for pit tickets with RTJ & RATM. There's also the fun fact that they don't set the price themselves. Anything higher is charity tickets as marked or if not, those are scalpers. Who cares that there's people/staff that need to be paid and they've never been against making money right?

      @@denglish5 I knew RATM was a cut above average, even 25 years ago, but never knew my fandom would be so practical too.. just funny to see how people will demonize one side or the other, not realizing the actual enemies in the shadows, or powers and principalities we face.
      People were fine saying "FUCK YOU, DIPSHIT" to President Bush (1 or 2), and Trump, but no dissidence for Clinton's, Obama's, or Biden's "college"... As long as totalitarianism rules, nobody is free.

      @@willhe5564 you do realize they are talking against NAFTA here which was a neo liberal trade agreement. Chomsky, and by extension RATM, are against the moderate democratic candidates too. Chomsky was extremely disappointed with the banks bailout by obama. Chomsky's book on manufacturing consent is exactly against the "enemies in the shadows" as you put it. This isn't a left versus right thing. Clinton, obama, and now biden aren't being given free paces. I'll sit here and say fuck you to modern day conservatism just as much as I say fuck you to neoliberalism.

But people are so easily manipulated emotionally these days that I dont have alot of hope,they look where they're told to look and feel what they're told to feel about it,but as long as they put the right filter or slogan on their social media page,then they can call everyone else an asshole and a nazi or whatever bullshit they're using that week to not actually have an adult conversation.

      Constructive critism, debate about a country is good, but that does not sell records. Guess they have few good ideas, and the country they would invisage would look like the worse parts of San Fransico now, (they blame their usual enemies for that mess too though).
      Instead, they should sing about how human nature is what it is, and how they dont like it.

So we don't even know for sure what the real meaning and position of the argument was. If we say that the fragments that exist were in fact his ideas and they have been interpreted correctly, the meaning would be along the lines "nothing exists" and "if something exists, we cannot know anything of it".

      Anybody who has ever read Das Kapital, published 1867, could figure this out. The USA has reached the point where it can no longer expand its global empire and thus cannot sustain its internal economic structure. That's why NAFTA was important at the time, but corporations have to sustain profit margins and so it isn't good enough anymore. The only thing the USA can do is collapse upon the weight of itself, or risk a war for global hegemony against pretty much every country it has alienated and threatened for the past 20 years who have since banded together in their own alliance.

      @Pecker Dúnlaing Space Dolphin Brigada The "world" that you speak of being allied puppets the USA has emplaced here and there, along with faded empires and pivot middle powers. Even the European powers are progressing towards their own block without American involvement. The eastern bloc has been working extensively to de-couple the USD from international trade, and all of the countries that the USA has blockaded with sanctions have signed on. Once the USD is de-coupled from the global oil trade, it is game over for the USD (which is in irrecoverable debt that makes it even more worthless with every print, by the way). But what would such petty oil producing countries like Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran have in influencing global oil payments.

      None of those countries that I have listed have anything to do with the IMF. The IMF is used to create economic colonies for Western empires, which means they have to be destroyed first so the Western institutions can move in. The IMF also has nothing to do with crypto either and the key feature of crypto is that it is, in fact, decentralized.

      James Bales so so sad. In the mid 70s before NAFTA was just a twinkle in your daddy’s eyes, I worked at a printing company as a proofreader. I started at a measly 3.50 an hour. I worked 12 hour days, 7 days a week while putting myself through college. I was also raising my son by myself. Guess who owned this company? Maxwell, Mr. Maxwell just happened to be friend of the notorious Epstein.I could tell you some enlightening stories about working for Maxwell. A real ladies man, this is SARCASM. He was just like Epstein, a real sick perverted bitch. After Maxwell drained the fuck out of the company, he picked up and took himself and all his marbles back to England where he could find cheaper, fresh meat to abuse. I was then making 14,000.00 a year. Luckily. I had been working my ass off for years and graduated the top of my class, at a top university. I double majored and later became a teacher. I then made a mere 18,000,00 a year. By the time I retired, I thought I was rich because I made 40,000.00. Woohoo. So please tell me about your experiences with NAFTA and how your corporation just picked up and went to Canada, Mexico or any other fuckin place they could find to pay slave wages. Please tell me how the “MACHINE “ is not broken. I’m sure I am not the only one out here that wasn’t fucked over by the establishment, by elitist, by robber barrons who knew how to abuse the politics of democracy, corporate financing and subsidies 😤 I’ve seen it all.
