Reply #143: I simply believe that the system... [View All]

[Goldstein1984]

underlying the stock market, and much of the exploitation in the world, is intrinsically evil and exploitative.

I actually pity all of you. (Even as you all theatrically pity me with face-palms, etc) You're really just tools for a Few people making a LOT more money than you do. They toss you a few crumbs to give you a stake in their game, and you become supporters out of short-sighted self-interest.

If you profit off investments in BP, you profit from their cost-cutting-induced wrongs.
If you profit from investments in chemical companies, you profit from their pollution.
Et cetera.

You've all sold out for a seat at the table and an impossible promise that you can change the system from within.

Look at all the people hurt by the market's drop? How about looking at all the people routinely sacrificed for its success?

Better get along now, your crowd is moving to the Right and you're falling behind.
