Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

Jye coming to Khev's rescue be like:

and after arguing with SPAZZFORPRESIDENT jye to khev be like:

 

[crows]

No, not "the end" for everyone: The end is near for disposable servants. I'll be fine.

Again, read about the Great Depression, and then read CONVENTIONAL WISDOM regarding unemployment resulting from AI in the next 10-15 years. The fact that you think I'm paranoid means you know nothing about the direction the world is heading in. Start looking into it.

For those of you who insist of being servants, you'd be wise to at least research which forms of employment will be obsolete within the next decade, and update your skills accordingly. This isn't just going to affect the lower class. Customer service jobs are already being eliminated, as is shipping and receiving and data entry, but soon other jobs will be replaced: Many lawyers who practice the more clerical end of law (patents, bankrupcy, divorce), engineers, doctors, teachers, security guards and police officers... Job security will not be determined by class, but by whether or not your job can be done by a machine that problem solves and executes language-based tasks, or machines that do manual labor.

in your personal opinion
What Jobs are going to be stable in the next 15-20 years? i would really really really really love your honest opinion on this? im not even memeing or joking by asking
I find your post fascinating and i am very curious

I've secured enough money and resources to own sufficient property away from any major cities, and afford whatever astronomical taxes will be taken from me.

Does SNIKT's "inside contact" from RO's filming crew sometimes visit your fallout shelter to ask for a cup of sugar?

I've secured enough money and resources to own sufficient property away from any major cities, and afford whatever astronomical taxes will be taken from me. To do that, you have to be sufficiently ruthless in making money from the labor of others. You can't just drift through life on a subsistence wage. The only way to make that kind of money, is to invest significant disposable income. To do that? You have to work your *** off in a way that is clever, until you can leverage others so that they do the heavy lifting.

In other words, I realized subservient people (ahem) don't care about their bleak future, so I exploited them to protect myself. I'm not an idealist.

Hypocrites are so easily predictable so easy to draw you out.

After all of your lecturing about WEAKNESS IS BEING A SLAVE TO OTHERS and FREEDOM from mind control you turn around and show your true colors on how you take great pleasure in subjugating others in this fantasy of yours.

I’m just happy others here made their support for you public now I know who to ignore.

You’re not intelligent you’re disgusting.

Go ahead keep complaining about Kennedy imposing her views no one sane will ever take you seriously ever again no matter how big the words you choose to use.

Spazz after the end of the world:

Got to control those subservients making a racket outside:

I guess it'll suck for people who have to work for a living.

The imaginary man is not going to save you.

Every time I read his wordy highbrow diatribes, cannot help but picture this....

There's no contradiction in what I've said. Hypocrisy is a moralist concept. Morality doesn't exist. There's nothing "wrong" with being a servant, because there is no "wrong". You, on the other hand, think that you can drift through life without using your brain, cause all kinds of problems because there are so many subservient people like you, and yet you somehow think I have an obligation to refrain from defending myself from the fallout of your subservience? Keep dreaming.

Obligation doesn't exist. In a world where dumb people obey authority and refuse to think, even when faced with idiotic-yet-blatant propaganda, anyone with a brain in their head will defend themselves by making money off of others. That's how the competitive market works. If you don't like the system you're living in, why do you keep questioning my motives, in talking about politics?

See where I'm going with this? You can't bury your head in the sand, accuse anyone critical of authority as being paranoid or fearful (like most people do), than be righteously indignant when people take advantage of your subservience.

If you have a problem with the way I use power, does that make you paranoid? Are you afraid of me? Is the end nigh? Go back to burying your head in the sand, and enjoy your servitude while it lasts. Also, I'm glad you liked The Last Jedi. Servants need a break, once in a while.

If any of this bothers you... welcome to the club. I wish we lived in an economy that treated people as being more than servants. We don't. The problem is, try telling the servants that! They'll call you paranoid, so you may as well just exploit them.

This is what I don't get about normal people. I'm serious. Please explain it to me. If I explicitly say to the rest of you:

"You are servants. I exploit you, so that I can avoid hardship, toil and enjoy a better standard of living. I don't care about you. In fact, I have contempt for your subservience, which is why I exploit you."

You all get very angry. You freak out. But if I passively talk about politics, you guys seem confused as to why I'm talking about it in the first place. Do you guys honestly think we live in a world that cares about you? Do you think you're not being exploited right now? If you know that you're being exploited, why don't you care?

I'm serious. Explain it to me. I honestly don't get it. Do you have a sense of futility? Is it too depressing to think about?

 

[SNIKT1950]

Again, you have a very subservient attitude. When the media inundates people with propaganda, the motivation for questioning said propaganda isn't to make the propagandists "feel bad". You question it in order to falsify the ideas themselves. You keep mentioning that the act of questioning the subtext of a film is either the result of paranoia or fear. You have it backwards: Propaganda appeals to emotion. The remedy is to approach it with logic and reason.

As you leave the house today, are you working? Or is it your two day break, before you return to some tedious form of servitude in order to survive? Does the fact that you're a servant bother you? Well, you're in luck... within the next 10-15 years, an estimated 40-50% of the population will be unemployed thanks to AI. That's not conspiracy, but conventional wisdom. Do you have any idea what kind of nightmare scenario that is? No, because you don't think. People starved to death during the Great Depression. Do you know what the unemployment rates were then? Estimates are at around 23%. So we're heading for a world where unemployment is DOUBLE that of the Great Depression. The only solution being proposed? Basic Income. Look into it... It's not pretty.

So either you dislike being a servant, at which point you should be concerned about how politics affects your life, or you like being a servant, at which point you should be concerned about how politics will shape your future, and your children's future.

Meanwhile, the media (including Disney) is constantly inundating us with divisive propaganda, so that the majority of us are fighting with one another, instead of consolidating our efforts to control what our future will look like, in a world where our labor will be obsolete.

Your future is bleak, even if your present is not. Get your head in the game.

Jye reading Spazz's reply:

Rest in Peace, Jye.

I'm actually with you Spazz, but I just don't think this thread about this truly repugnant movie is the place to get in to it.
