Mark Dice Confronts America's Zombie Shoppers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Unlike on previous occasions when Mark Dice either mocks the stupidity of Americans for having zero clue about the true worth of precious metals, or mocks the stupidity of Americans for having absolutely no understanding of politics (yet supporting Hillary Clinton among others), in his latest clip, the notorious lampooner takes a stroll at 4:30 pm on Thanksgiving night in front of the Best Buy in San Diego where he finds a massive line.

What follows is Mark, armed with just a bullhorn, taking on several hundred consumption zombies waiting in line at Best Buy, armed with just their overdrawn credit cards, or as he calls them "enemies of America. A symptom of this failed country. When this country is bankrupt, and it will be soon, you look in the mirror and that's who you blame."

Number of zombies impacted by his preaching? Zero. Why, because there is a TV for $99.95 to be bought proving the hedonically-adjusted deflationary wave sweeping the world is "all too real" and only much more QE and far more negative rates, making the merely billionaires into trillionaires, can save the global economy.

Never been out to snap up those "deals" on African-American Friday.  Did buy a new dishwaser today, but I waited until 5 PM before I left for the store.

I hate to say it but if you need an appliance - Black Friday is usually a good time because almost no one is buying a washer and dryer today.  They practically are giving away white appliances on Black Friday.  Is that racist?  I think GE sells their shit at almost cost at places like Home Depot today.

Those people are morons, no doubt. But driving by in the street yelling at them through a bullhorn didn't accomplish anything. If there is a segment of the population that is unteachable, it's those people lined up outside a big box store.

If he really wanted to make a difference in the world, he really should have been gathering evidence capable of securing iron-clad convictions against the multi-billionaire oligarchs that are robbing the world blind, but since he knows he can't do that, he goes after the easiest possible targets, a captive audience that can't afford to turn away from deep discounts.

Good job, Mark--bullying people to whom $50 is a lot of money, because you know you'd be disappeared if you went after the people who don't lose any sleep when stealing $50 billion from the people.

In reality, him attempting to sell that gold eagle proved nothing either.  I know full well what they are but do you think if someone I don't know comes up to me (or YOU for that matter) trying to sell one for $50, I'm not going to immediately assume it's fake and tell the dude to piss off?

Why does it have to be either/or?  Surely somebody with his resources could do both. 

 

I agree that shouting at consumption drones through a bullhorn is probably low-yeild, but then again, maybe if they hear it a few times, the smarter of them... the less brainwashed of them, might snap out of their stupor and ask themselves "What am I doing here?"   You never know... it could happen. Nobody on this site was born awake.

@greenie carl--don't be so sure about the unteachable.  If you listen to the replies made by the people in line, they are aware of their situation, and resigned to it with humor.  You can say, well, they shouldn't be resigned to it, and I would agree.  But that resignation is why nothing has changed as yet.  When that sense of things is gone, look out.

Fonestar was a bitcoin Zeus on Mt Olympus.

An internet God of commentary.

Coinhead is the shit stain on the shorts of Fonestar.

Fonestar hung himself in an accident involving a goat, a dry cleaning bag, and his own blockchain.

He left a note behind, blaming it all on losses due to unexpected Bitcoin volatility.

Hard to hold a fake cryptocurrency that fluctuates between teens and thousands at the drop of a hat.

Even the fucking stock market looks stable by comparison.

I see every bit as much Caucasians standing in these waiting lines as I do people of color, so this remark is uncalled for. 

But more on point, in between videos as these and Bernie Sanders continuing his rise in various polls, it's fascinating to see an unabashed activism against the consumer culture of the United States beginning to take root in American society.

No we aren't. The people in Africa now didn't originate there either... There is literally only one tribe left that originated in Africa, and there are only like 1000 of them left. They are not even closely related to any of us.

 

Europeans originated in the Indo-Asian region. Hence we are INDO-Europeans. A mix of Neanderthals and Indo people. Our closest relatives outside of Europe are the Persians of old with blue eyes.

I bought a 39" LED flat screen from Sam's for $47.00 a couple of weeks ago..

Really...

It was used as a monitor.. they busted the F connector off and the tuner has not been used until I just recently fixed it.

I figure it's good for another couple of years.

....the other good thing is that has all kinds of AV inputs and outputs.. unlike the couple of simple HDMI ports on today's stuff.

.....oh, and I dumped the satellite rcvr over three years ago and do not watch broadcast at all... the latest screen is just tuned to a channel CH 3 low res converter which is connected to an old PC linked to RT.

It's all programming.:  I find it interesting how many punk and metal bands from the 80s had lyrics that were oddly prophetic or strangely insightful in teh context of today's America. Back then those lyrics seemed like a joke. Now, not so much.

Answer is: disaster. Unfortunately, this is what it is going to take for real changes to happen. Until then, enjoy being seat-belted unable to escape on the train that is headed off the cliff.

I spent all day sanding my old pickup and spraying it with gray primer.  10 hours. The last two weeks have been spent dissassembling and sanding.

Today is paint day. Very exciting for a truck I've owned for 10 years that has always been 'rust colored' and not a factory paint code.

I did spend some money though, for sandpaper, primer, and new paint. That's the extent of my Xmas shopping. $180. Industrial enamel for the win!

 

What is this black friday? When I lived in Baton Rouge, every day was black ___day.

I can do without black days. I find my life is much less tense, happier, and less worried about potential chimouts.

For those of you still caught up in it: I fell on black days

Although I generally try to spread out my spending, I did take advantage of sales today (I'm in Canada so it's not really a holiday, generally don't shop on holidays and in my province we've only had stores open on holidays for a few years now). Darn Tough socks for work (Made in USA and guaranteed for life), some long johns, and a few things I need for the camp and gathering firewood. Pretty practical stuff, and I can see how people get driven into the spending spree. But blocks of people lined up at Best Buy? I guess there's a Coliseum in every living room.

OT but funny you mention socks made in the USA.

I still have a Georgetown Jumper with a bulldog on it that was purchased over 10 years ago and still going strong. Also a California Angels jacket (Don't blame me - the ex bought that one) that's 15 years old. My Levis still last longer than cheap jeans - so it seems textilewise the USA can still produce decent stuff.

That and 4x4's. My 2003 WJ Grand Cherokee - yep back before they got rid of live front and rear axles - still holds up against the Land Cruisers and Patrols unless they have diff lockers. I also had an XJ cherokee that copped a beating and kept on going... only complaint is persistant small quality control issues like blowing tail lights or indicator lights *way* to often (there's an electrical fault somewhere).

Wow!! $198.00 for a pair of Levi's.  I can buy 15-20 pair of Chinese jeans at Walmart.  I was able to buy Levi's in the late '60s for $3.50.  Most of the items I bought back then are now 10 times the 1960's price, that would mean that Levi's should be about $35.00.  So what idiot would pay $198.00 for a pair of what are basically jeans?

FYI:

By the 1990s, the brand was facing competition from other brands and cheaper products from overseas, and began accelerating the pace of its US factory closures and its use of offshore subcontracting agreements. In 1991, Levi Strauss faced a scandal involving pants made in the Northern Mariana Islands, where some 3% of Levi's jeans sold annually with the Made in the USA label were shown to have been made by Chinese laborers under what the United States Department of Labor called "slavelike" conditions. Today, most Levi's jeans are made outside the US, though a few of the higher end, more expensive styles are still made in the U.S.

Cited for sub-minimum wages, seven-day work weeks with 12-hour shifts, poor living conditions and other indignities, Tan Holdings Corporation, Levi Strauss' Marianas subcontractor, paid what were then the largest fines in U.S. labor history, distributing more than $9 million in restitution to some 1,200 employees.[8][9][10] Levi Strauss claimed no knowledge of the offenses, then severed ties to the Tan family and instituted labor reforms and inspection practices in its offshore facilities.

The activist group Fuerza Unida (United Force) was formed following the January 1990 closure of a plant in San Antonio, Texas, in which 1,150 seamstresses, some of whom had worked for Levi Strauss for decades, saw their jobs exported to Costa Rica.[11] During the mid- and late-1990s, Fuerza Unida picketed the Levi Strauss headquarters in San Francisco and staged hunger strikes and sit-ins in protest of the company's labor policies.[12][13][14]

The company took on multibillion-dollar debt in February 1996 to help finance a series of leveraged stock buyouts among family members. Shares in Levi Strauss stock are not publicly traded; the firm is today owned almost entirely by indirect descendants and collateral relatives of Levi Strauss, whose four nephews inherited the San Francisco dry goods firm after their uncle's death in 1902.[15] The corporation's bonds are traded publicly, as are shares of the company's Japanese affiliate, Levi Strauss Japan K.K.

In June 1996, the company offered to pay its workers an unusual dividend of up to $750 million in six years' time, having halted an employee stock plan at the time of the internal family buyout. However, the company failed to make cash flow targets, and no worker dividends were paid.[16] In 2002, Levi Strauss began a close business collaboration with Walmart, producing a special line of "Signature" jeans and other clothes for exclusive sale in Walmart stores until 2006.[17] Levi Strauss Signature jeans can now be purchased at several stores in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,Pakistan and Japan.

Levi Strauss leads the apparel industry in trademark infringement cases, filing nearly 100 lawsuits against competitors since 2001.[18] Most cases center on the alleged imitation of Levi's back pocket double arc stitching pattern (U.S. trademark #1,139,254), which Levi filed for trademark in 1978.[19] Levi's has successfully sued Guess?, Polo Ralph Lauren, Esprit Holdings, Zegna, Zumiez and Lucky Brand Jeans, among other companies.[18]

In 2002, the company closed its Valencia Street plant in San Francisco, which had opened the same year of the city's April 1906 earthquake.[20][21] By the end of 2003, the closure of Levi's last U.S. factory in San Antonio ended 150 years of its jeans being made in the USA. Production of a few higher end, more expensive styles of jeans resumed in the US several years later.[21]

By 2007, Levi Strauss was again said to be profitable after declining sales in nine of the previous ten years.[22] Its total annual sales, of just over $4 billion, were $3 billion less than during its peak performance[21] in the mid-1990s.[23] After more than two decades of family ownership, rumors of a possible public stock offering were floated in the media in July 2007.[24] In 2009, it was noted in the media for selling Jeans on interest-free credit, due to the global recession.[25][26] In 2010, the company partnered with Filson, an outdoor goods manufacturer in Seattle, to produce a high-end line of jackets and workwear.[27]

On May 8, 2013, the NFL's San Francisco 49ers announced that Levi Strauss & Co. had purchased the naming rights to their new stadium in Santa Clara, California. The naming rights deal calls for Levi's to pay $220.3 million to the city of Santa Clara and the 49ers over twenty years, with an option to extend the deal for another five years for around $75 million.[28]

 

Might as well buy the Chinese version for $10-12.

Easy there big boy, I could care less about the history of Levi's, I don't wear them.

My whole  point was show that Levi's does indeed have USA made stuff contrary to what the poster above had said.

If we were to try and buy USA at this point, the average zombie shopper couldn't afford to buy anything.

The whole point of this thread was to highlight the mindless march of the average zombie shopper.

My posting was just to put an exclamation point on the falacy of USA made goods and their affordability which just goes to show how far TPTB have globalized world trade.

OK, so he supports Empire representative H. Clinton. While that is a nonsensical position, this time I agree on his broader point, and go far further. Today's shoppers (zombie masses) are on the very same continuum as is the Turkish shoot-down of a Russian plane. They all point to collapse. These same zombies will be the maniacs who will be ready to kill for that last can of lard on an empty store shelf. And this president, or his sure to be equally sociopathic successor, will be unhessitatingly willing to cross the final Rubicon if they can't make Putin their bitch.

he believes that usa is run by illuminati  -   usa is not run by illuminati

its run by not so much international zio-anglo-criminal families, which turned usa into a oligarchy promoting usa's democratic freedom values all over the world

the reason why they stick to the jew-nonsense so much is to steal a pieace of land in the middle of arab countries + zionism helps to disconnect the elite from the rest and establish an international relation based on a tiny joke of a bloodline

thanks to sheep nature of people, it actually works out quite well

I stopped having a 401k 10 years ago. Got tired of the see sawing and seeing thousands of dollars evaporate in a few days (2000-2001 half my balance poof it's gone).

Retirement? If you aren't pulling in hundreds of thousands per year, then there is little hope of building enough surplus fiat. Why?

ZIRP. Crazy volatile stock market. Manipulated PMs. And constantly devaluing FRNs.

Sure, if you earn enough to support yourself and to build up at least 10M FRNs then you 'might' have something in 20 years.

Anything less won't be enough IMO.

And the .gov has the power to instantly make your $10M worth the same as my stack of toilet paper, or less.  Most who save for retirement do not understand this and wil not accept it.

How can Gen X and subsequent generations plan for retirement like the boomers and silents? Theycan't.

A little PM, food producing land, woodlot, and no debt  is the future I see.  Well that and an easy exit not tied to a hospital bed draining every last bit of resources for my descendants.

Fuck.
