"Phones On Sale" - The Stampede Begins

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When Darwin conceived his theory of Natural Selection, he hardly had this in mind, but if it succeeds in eliminating the "less than viable", well... so be it.

Did America give birth to American culture or did American culture give birth to Walmart? 

This explains why there is no economic value added production in America and why all manufacturing jobs have left the country... People wouldn't be lining up for $1500 cell phones, but $45!  Everyone needs that!

What I can not understand is, whenever andyone raises the idea of population control (and/or eugenics) - there is an uproar and outrage.  Does everyone seriously think we need a few more billion people like this around?

People in other countries look like this when food is handed out.

Americans don't relaize how good they have had it.

With manufacturing and technology outsourced there will be other countries taking over the world leadership role.

There's another difference. In those countries that are not USA and not starving - people have a little bit of dignity. They don't risk being trampled for one cheaper phone. Pleasure gained from getting this item and paying less than usual is still rated much to low to put up with this kind of mob madness.

sooo, Tyler, following your line of Darwinist logic, black people are less evolved than the whites. They should be exhibiting more animalistic "behaviors", showing less intelligence. But no, it's equally spread behavior. Doesn't disprove evolution, but just sayin'. You know this very philosophy (Darwinism) in part caused WWII. As soon as aggressors saw they had an excuse for wiping out vast members of a particular ethnos they did. I don't believe in races. Man is the human race. People exhibit variations from Adam, 8,000 yrs ago. This is the (only) other option.

As an aside: there was, is and never will be an example of a mutation that resulted in a better, more improved species. They only end in death. The entire fossil record testifies against evolution. It is reproduction "after their kind" as in Genesis.

Evolution is process where "fittest" survive, but fittest for what? In an environment of a tax farm and badly managed one at that "fittest" cows are loyal, servile to the owners and first on the move, pushy and brutal to other cows when he brings in new delivery of straw. Even very healthy, smart cow that just tries to graze overused and polluted grass outside, minding it's own business is in this place fit only for extinction.

I noticed I mispelled when I saw TD's headline on 11/25) .... dumbest .... greediest .... ugliest .... blackest (blackest heartiest .... thought you had me ?) !" !  Now, I'll glance through the posts to see if I missed anything !

When government "farming" ie food stamps etc run out, government will take people into camps. Possibly FEMA camps. That is what government does in order to protect what little is left of a system that has run its course. We are at the end of the current system. Make no mistake, the day of reckoning is coming. It could be tomorrow, it could be next month or next year or in 10 years but the day is coming where the population has grown beyond what government is able to support. It's inevitable that no matter how well crafted a system by central planners may be designed, it has its limits.

The question you ask yourselves is this. When that day comes and government starts to seize personal liberties and persons into custody, where are you going to be? Are you prepared and trying to stop government or are you prepared to work with government and somehow get involved in the process to protect your families. After all, you are not obese and you're not on any assistance. You've never acted like these buffoons (it's a type of monkey fittingly) at a Black Friday sale as shown in the videos here.

Quite possibly, these types of people are on government assistance and will be on the list and taken to camps. Government will care for these people as it should but it will be easier, more efficient and more affordable to assist these people inside a controlled environment. The logistics just make more sense.

Government will do what it is designed to do. For now it has decided to assist people with food and other substinence programs in their preferred environments. Soon it will be the enviroment that government prefers and which works best for that.

Don't try and stop government. With all your wisdom and all your careful preparations, you do not want to waste your efforts trying to stand in the way of government. You find a way to work with government and possibly subcontract your services to help government in their efforts to transport, feed and accommodate the people who depend on it for as long as they live.

Be thankful that God has given you the brains to figure things out for yourself.

I gave you a greenie for your well thought out post, but I do have questions for you.

Do you really wish to prolong your life at the cost of selling your soul to evil? Have you considered the added stress of concealing your true identity as a person capable of thinking for yourself? Are you that confident that you can keep up appearances long enough to have any kind of influence within the system? Or do I read you incorrectly and you're a truly amoral person with no concern for anyone but yourself?

I worked in government for many years and finally had to leave. It sucked giving up the cush job and bennies, but I could feel a little piece of my soul dying every day I was there. I do not wish to try and comprehend the burden I should carry should I be involved with a plot to incarcerate and eliminate millions of my fellow human beings. What does it profit a man, that he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul?

Hey, if it works for you, bro, then by all means have at it. Trust me when I say that, should you be assigned to come pick me up, I shall not go peacefully.

I wouldn't work for the government unless it was the only choice, the only option to survive. I would welcome the start of the revolution if it truly existed and had a chance to survive even for a bit. But I sure as heck wouldn't start a revolution because a government is acting out and taking "care" of people like shown in the videos today.

Unfortunately I think the reason why the revolution in America hasn't happened is because the effects of propgaganda and conditioning that can be found in the behaviour of Black Friday out-of-control "shoppers". As long as government is taking "care" of people like that, there will be no uprising. On the contrary, these people will be your enemy because they fail to realize what is going on now and they will not understand what is going on when they're "accommodated" at a camp.

Not that I am making excuses for these people and their behavior, but what everyone here needs to understand about this behavior is that government and its money manufacturing arm, the Fed, is to blame.

If you study the great inflations of the past you will find that there is always a general break down in society and morals as people become more and more short-term focused.

The gov and Fed have been destroying the US and world economy for the past 100 years. The same society and economy destroying forces one sees during great inflations have materialized slowly over that time in the US and are accelerating. As the economy and society breakdown, people behave more based on primitive instincts heightened by desperation.

In short, these people's behavior is a symptom of where society and our country (America not US) is.

God or whoever, help us.

Pretty pathetic, isn't it?

Look I've been saying for a long time...this is the country in which we live.  This is America.  You can go to stores all around the world, on big sale days, and you won't find behavior like this.

Here's the thing...if you work hard in this country, if you do the right thing, if you are honest, if you are "patriotic", if you are a pillar of your community...all you are doing is supporting these people, and supporting the bankers and elite who make the system possible.

Why did the American middle class go extinct?  Because they worked themselves to death supporting the system.  And at the end of the day their pensions disappear and their savings are inflated away...but the sheeple still get discounted cell phones.

Best to drop out and figure out ways to stop supporting the system.  And then one day these sheeple will be fighting each other to the death for bread rather than cheap phones.

And at least you'll be able to tell yourself "I ended my participation in this clusterfuck a long, long time ago.  I have nothing to do with it any more, goodbye."
