wow. the guy and girl on here looked REALLY STUPID. the guy clearly stated that schools were getting new and different teachers in the same system and expecting different results….yet he’s a libertarian?????
Can they not see that getting new and different politicans in a corrupt system and expecting new and different result, even if it is Ron Paul, is equally as bad?
Go stefbot! I’ve been watching for about 2-3 years you have come a long way. Keep knocking em out with that brain of yours. Cheers.
Molyneux for ofice!!
Who cares if they did gave bread to the poor in the circus? the lie is trying to make you believe that it had anything to do with the Roman Empire’s collapse; the lie is saying that wellfare is detrimental to society, saying that it’s fine to allow 1 billion people to starve because they are not clever enough to own a business; the lie telling you that a totally free market is a just system…
Are you for a free market? Then accept the fact that the bankers already won the game time ago!
@flyermay It wasn’t “free bread”, it was paid for with money extracted from people by force, as is the welfare system today. If you don’t get that going deeper and deeper into debt to pay for political bribes with no way of paying off the debt other than through more debt will lead to a collapse, there’s not much point in discussing this
Are you going to retract your accusation that he was lying about Juvenal referring to actual bread and circuses?
@flyermay romans actually had welfare, and it’s not only the welfare and the occasional populist “bread and circuses” for the elections… it’s the whole approach , it’s the mindset of bribing people with their own money to get to power
@elchafa Well, we do know a few key factors contributed to its downfall, like: usury, having to much territory to defend, and Christianity. I also don’t think it was one factor alone, but a combination of factors. What I’m sure is that giving bread once a week was not the reason… this is a tipical kind of flawed of argument from the right-wing to defend the idea that some should enjoy excess while many should lack the most basic needs.
@flyermay I agree with you, but I don’t think the real reasons for the Roman empire’s downfall is known.
@LTBL88 Yes, Wikipedia says they gave bread during the games, but it also says they did it from 123 BC. Hardly the reason for the collapse of the empire that Stephan want’s us to believe, and hardly can it be considered “wellfare”.
What took the empire down, and the reason for the debase currency that Stephan mentions, was the private bankers (including many corrupt senators) taking control, and profiting, from the money supply instead of the state; not giving free bread to the poor on Sundays
@flyermay No, it’s in direct reference to government policies. At the very least check the wikipedia article before calling people liars. “Juvenal here makes reference to the Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens as well as costly circus games and other forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power through populism.” – And are you seriously saying that wasting public money on bribery in no way negatively affected the Roman empire?
@LTBL88 I’m afraid you’re wrong. “Bread and circus” is just a metaphore from the poet Juvenal, and which means that: while people are well fed and entertained, they don’t worry about politics. There was no wellfare in ancient Rome, nor in any other times; the closest thing was simple charity.
The reason why the Roman Empire collapsed was the same reason as our society will collapse: the unmeasureble greed of bankers (which is what capitalism is based on)… it had nothing to do with wellfare.
@flyermay The romans did give out wheat and entertainment for free (look up the history of the phrase bread and circus) and of course throwing away resources on bribing people had to do with the roman collapse. I don’t know where you got “lie” from
The problem with these right-wingers is that since they know their logic is flawed, they have no choice but to lie to prove their point. For example: saying that “bread and circus” meant the Romans had free bread or that it had anything to do with their collapse is simply stupid.
FFS, can’t they come up with better lies to argue why the middle class should have everything, at the expenses of the working class having nothing? But of course, telling it as it is would be quite unpopular…
@madhillick It amuses me that the Adam’s and Stefan Molyneux’s of the world cling onto the soviet union for dear life when arguing against socialism and always glaze over heavily socialist EU.
Every market on the planet is irrelevant if we as a species dont stop shooting ourselves in the foot as far as environmental degradation and resource exploitation is concerned. Coupled with population boom and a pyramid shaped distribution of wealth… you have hoardes of pissed off desperate havenots… the whole thing will go to shit. It does not benefit the people in charge to keep driving the system into the ground. We are destroying ourselves.
This has become terminal.
ur face annoys me
@meadowsirl I’m yet another Irish person. We have a nominally socialist system i this country but it is far to the right of the Scandinavians. These countries are still to a great degree social democratic. We are not now and never really have been. I think your point about the prosperity of socialist Europe over capitalist America is a valid one, with Ireland being the exception rather than the rule.
@madhillick oh let them be for a few seconds. Nobody is going to take them serious and tomorrow everything will be forgotten.
Ya know? I kind of bought into the “the kids are getting less intelligent” theory. Maybe it’s just that the schools are getting worse. They were bad enough when I was in school and it’s common knowledge that they’re getting worse. Maybe it’s the schools.
When I was in, I was a natural mechanical genius, in a system that was pointing me toward the conventional collage degree thing. I was a fish out of water. Once I dropped out I was free to become a mechanic though and in my field I’m amazing!
3-4 billion people will never be brought out of poverty/suffering and even if they were the life support system of the planet would fail. the results of our culture(worldwide human culture) stare us right in the eye, yet we keep on believing and working IN the same systems as…. the problems grow. Quit playing the game of dominion and quit believing in BS that obvioulsy does not work. Starve IT and make the systems obsolete. Stefan and Adam wANt to believe It WILL WORK. AIN’T HAPPENING
Who wants to work for less MW?
@erdal0
Ha, not even close.
your picture comes through a bit strange
@LJPpro America is the most privatised place on earth and isn’t doing very well, why would making it more privatised improve things? The arguments for total privatisation are narrow and can be easily shot down when it comes to issues such as environment and law.
@antoconno I’m from Ireland as-well and indeed we live in a hybrid of both just like the rest of Europe. the banking problem can be sorted by removing the banking sector, remember banks don’t make anything. Its inherently unstable due to the way money is created and a libertarianism banking system will be all fun and games until people lose their deposits.
