"We Are Taking A Stand For Freedom" - New Yorkers Explain Why They Are Waiting In Line To See "The Interview"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

And just like that Americans got punk'd again.

From two of the countless New Yorkers waiting in line to see The Interview:

"We are taking a stand for freedom. We want to show the world that Americans won't be told what they can and can not see. If we want to see a movie we'll go see a movie and make up our own minds...."

"I came to express my very strong support for the free expression of ideas."

As Chris Rock said it.

Alas when Americans have been conned into believing it is their patriotic duty to see it, they will do just that.

Now sit back and enjoy as "North Korea's unmatched computer geniuses" hack even more movie studios and "demand" Cutthroat Island 2, John Carter 2, Waterworld 2, the Postman 2, the Lone Ranger 2 and, of course, Police Academy 32 are likewise never released.

Having neither the time nor skills to weigh up each piece of evidence we humans fall back on decision-making shortcuts formed by our education, politics and class. In particular, we measure new information against our life experience and the views of the people around us.

 

We often use metaphors to carry over experience from simple or concrete experiences into new domains. Thus, as politicians know very well, broad concepts such as freedom, independence, leadership, growth and pride can resonate far deeper than the policies they describe.

 

Stay frosty.

These rubes are dumb as a box of hammers. WC Fields was right, "Never give a sucker an even break."

That pretty much explains to me the parallel between the fall of the Roman Empire and complete implosion of America right along with all it's values.  You idiots would be better off picking up a copy of Team America: World Police from Blockbuster (if they still exist).  Pathetic clones.

It is almost like they are telling (showing) us something.  Either that or just flaunting their methods.

This is the same blind patriotism that is displayed at sporting events where the military worship is intertwined with tribal competition.  The people in the stands saying the pledge have no clue as to why they honor the cannon fodder in camo other than they chose a job in the killing fields.

Its because the sheeple are conditioned to believe anything and everything.

and upon seeing said movie, may realize that the "terrists" were trying to do them a favor.

Idiot: Someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way

This is not a hack attack from outside. I haven't looked at Sony's site because I don't give a shit but an attack like this can only come about from an insider. Calling this a hack is like calling the s&p or dow a market.

Why is it so many americans are willing to take a stand for freedom only when their government tells them to? Why didn't we see a strong stand for freedom when the mass NSA spying was revealed, or when banksters and their cronies received bailouts at the public's expense, or when it turned out that the Iraq war was launched on false pretenses, or when it was found just recently that the cia routinely tortures people many of whom are later proven innocent??

 

Is freedom truly freedom when it is government mandated?

Cuz it's a cheap, easy feelgood.  Wanker patriots and bedwetters who conflate governments actions with Enlightened principle or greater priorities in crisis as revealed by misguided subjectivists and agendized demagogues.  They are most likely the political equivalent of the Pharisees of the New Testament.

I watched the movie free on stream.  Fuck freedom, this is a TERRIBLE movie.  If you're excited about gay innuendo then maybe you'll like it better.  I give it a 2/10.

I going down to the Marines enlistment office later today, I'll gladly give all my limbs or even my life to go fight some bankers' war so we fellow 'Merikans can watch a movie soooool bad that it must have produced by a lobotimized Mexican midget on a bad acid, bathsalt trip.  Remember folks, they hate us for our movies!  Semper Fi.....

This year I gave 12000 cash to people who needed it. Who I liked. I don't do it all at once, or to one person. I just do it. Every week I handed out a hundred dollar bill to someone who didn't expect it. I didn't give anything to beggars, just working people. Thats a lot of money to me. I'm not rich. But I see people suffering quietly and I try to help them, quietly. Because I needed help once, and there was noone to help me. 

I don't help crooks. I spent 10x that on lawyers against the IRS. NON SERVIAM

...and then you went on the Internet and bragged about it, making yourself a perfectly sanctimonius ass.

Yep, I'm a sanctimonious ass for trying to help. You've lost already.

Nobody that actually reads the news and has half a brain has EVER believed that NK hacked Sony.

You can find idiots anywhere, and there are plenty in New York.  However, New York still has the most educated, sophisticated and wealthy population in America, with far fewer idiots per capita.

But of course, it probably makes red-state ZHers feel good to find an idiot in Gotham once in a while.
