I was thinking about this today, actually – how is it that knowing that the war in Iraq (for example) is motivated by oil interests, has benefited weapons manufacturers and development companies from the US, and was motivated for their monetary interest, that over a million people have been slaughtered in Iraq for this, how there is no rebellion – how can we be so blase about the loss of human life?

Colbert actually did a great segment on how this was done with making torture tolerable, legitimizing something that the international community has learned to condemn as upon which basic norms and concepts such as fair trial and other human rights come from.

A very interesting angle in this article. Thanks.

The point is undeniable. If money didn’t exist, there’d be no reason to steal. There’d be nothing to gain from exploitation or crime. There would be no need to pollute; because finding ways of environmently-friendly garbage disposal would no longer be expensive. We wouldn’t have to work your ass to the bone for 45 years.

Instead, the world and it’s people could focus on each other and improving our lives. The ends justify the means, and in my opinion you should research more of the Venus Project.

English isn’t my native language, but even so I think you’re exaggerating. Besides, your swearing is worse.

Zeitgeist Addendum talks about monetaryism as if the sole problem is the pursuit of wealth (which is self interested) rather than the fact that people believe a group of people calling themselves “the government” can coerce everybody else to obey their opinions. That’s why I said what I said. I didn’t talk about petty differences between people because, indeed, who cares. Individuals are who they are and are right to be what they want to be.

Secondly, I agree and that’s exactly what I did in my post if you didn’t notice. I filtered out what I find to be true and discarded the rest and then said why I discarded it. I agree something needs to be done, but we can’t act in ignorance so it is important to realize mistakes where they are made.

Finally, I am not “rejecting” this movie and the point certainly isn’t just to be unique. I’m speaking my mind, nothing more and nothing else. If you have a problem with that I think it’s you who needs to grow..

Cheers

The agenda for these evil men revolve around control. Money is worthless to them in the sense of value, it’s just another tool used to control the population.

Secondly, the importance of rejecting Zeitgeist is to filter out the disinformation and take in the truth and the overall message: The world fucks you everyday of your life and rich, white unknown men make a profit from it. Let’s do something about it.

Don’t reject this movie because you “want to be unique”. Pretentious bullshit. Grow the fuck up.

Giskard, it’s probably better to interpret ZA by yourself than take its own conclusions for granted. That is an exercise in free thinking.
