Brain -> Escape From America: The Strange & Scary Billionaires Behind The Libertarian-Inspired Sea Castles (6/7/2010 12:37:59 AM)
The rich are parasitic swine swindling the American middle class of all their standard of living -people like those of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and the Rothschilds. Class War For Idiots / June 2, 2010 Escape From America: The Strange & Scary Billionaires Behind The Libertarian-Inspired Sea Castles By Mark Ames What happens when Americans plunder America and leave it broken, destitute and seething mad? Where do these fabulously wealthy Americans go with their loot, if America isn’t a safe, secure, or even desirable place to spend their riches? What if they lose faith in their gated communities, because those plush gated communities are surrounded by millions of pissed-off Americans stripped of their entitlements, and who now want in? http://exiledonline.com/escape-from-america-the-strange-scary-billionaires-behind-the-libertarian-inspired-sea-castles/ [image]local://upfiles/392475/716AEEF96A4C4BE789C74BF2AE0F71B2.jpg[/image]

An obvious problem Brain - they no doubt require those of peasant class to cook, clean and generally look after them and if an Afghan shepherd can construct a substantial bomb out of stuff that comes readily to hand, any of us could do the same, and big holes in the sides of ships tend to have disastrous consequences. Another obvious problem considering the presence of such peasantry on board - mutiny. "Now Mr Banker, do exactly as youre told or its women and children first. Overboard that is. Your woman and children that is." Residents could of course employ substantial security squads aboard ship, but of necessity these should need to be fewer in number than both residents and peasantry. Some would die no doubt, but such security should be readily overcome and their weapons taken. If that is the security types didnt have it occur to them to take over the ship to the above ends themselves - this is the problem when you piss off enough people, you just never know who your guards are and what their intentions might be.

Nope we figured that out already. Surgically implanted micro explosive devices in the heart, base of the spine,and in the abdomen. These communicate with each other, and if one is removed and loses communication with the other 2, they will instantly explode. Now the explosion is large enough to cause instant death, but not large enough to destroy the vessel or those more than a few feet away. Also any servant worker that leaves the signal area of the ship will meet the same fate. Also, if any crime is committed on board by the labor, not only will the offender be punished by providing a human fireworks display but also the youngest member of their family will also take part in the display. This is why the labor is entirely composed of young couples with at least one child. In a riot situation a consensus of any five of the elite can initiate the explosion of all labor at will who come within 50 foot of an elite, and who are not in predetermined gather points or are heading towards such a point (computers are great, with gps). The ship is advanced enough to steer itself to dock, plus contracts for extraction by helicopter from anyplace on the world has been secured. Good times coming..... Reserve your spot today, or fill out an application online.

Why do I enjoy a great standard of living?

Those of you who are obsessed with what the rich have, would be much happier if you just concentrated on your own life. If the Rothschilds lost every penny they had it wouldn't improve your life one iota.

I really do find it so amusing that people that are not wealthy, love so much to despise those that are wealthy. The reality is that, many of those wealthy people, if you removed their wealth, they would be able to regain it. Most of the people that are not wealthy, if you gave them wealth, they would lose it. There really are better, more productive and positive things to do with time and energy than channeling negative shit towards people that have more materially than we do.

Have you read The Filth, Brain? Grant Morrison took the piss out of the libertarian galtships something rotten in that one...

I am wondering why they call it "libertarian"? These billionaires would not exist in libertarian society.

Moonhead -> RE: Escape From America: The Strange & Scary Billionaires Behind The Libertarian-Inspired Sea Castle (6/7/2010 10:13:13 AM)
It's an interesting point, isn't it? I think elitism is as big a thing for most libertarians as disliking paying taxes, though. Obviously, if you're a libertarian you're part of the elite, because you wouldn't be a libertarian in the first place if you weren't far smarter than all of the mindless shit who belong in the gutter because they think that taxation might be a good way to fund stuff that nobody's going to do independently as there's no profit in it. Roads, social infrastructure, Policing, national defense, education, medical provision, all that sort of thing.

Hedge fund managers are irreplaceable to our village. Get real. PA, I suggest you pull your cranium out of your rectum. I said nothing about hedge fund managers. I was talking about wealthy people, no more, no less. A large number of wealthy people know how to create and protect wealth. It is only logical that they would know better how to begin again if they lost it all. The stories of many lottery winners shows how poor people are often clueless. Obviously they didn't know how to protect it, and apparently, since they were poor prior to winning wealth, they sure as hell didn't know how to create it. Which is why they usually become poor again. I know the reasons I am not wealthy. Do you?

However, it is very easy to think and...say so.

Doesn't that case rather presuppose that the wealthy are all self made men and women rather than having inherited most of their assets, in any case? People like that are a smallish minority among the loaded.

Roads, social infrastructure, Policing, national defense, education, medical provision, all that sort of thing. Libertarianism is not about the taxes. It includes wide range of political views directed to maximizing personal liberty. Moderate libertarians support some form of (fair) taxation (flat tax, money transaction tax etc...). Arguably US constitution is written in libertarian spirit. Elitism has absolutely nothing to do with libertarianism. Super-rich people building a castle in the sea is rather a rebirth of feudal-like society (monarchs, barons and lords protected and served by serfs).
