>I never said it was completely impossible to make money by selling a bad product,

from last comment in the thread -

>An advertisement will _never_ convince people to buy things they don't want and don't need; if you disagree, please go and try to sell a bad product, and we will see how well your 'mind control' works.

le contradiction

how??

i think ur parent assumed without saying that both translators were equally (well?) versed in the source language, so ur example does not compute.

unless ur chinese

thank you for this reply, really puts things into perspective.

How can they have a wedding before a woman gives her consent?

am i reading this right? is it illegal in the us to build ur own computer device from the most basic components?

>but they have a looooooooooooot of work left to do to become anything close to a first-world nation.

ur bias is leaking. being a 'first world' nation (a very arbitrary classification in the first place) is not a necessarily desirable attribute for a country to have. u can keep ur defacto oligarchy, ur mind numbing culture and media, which brainwashes citizens to conform and support foreign wars at enormous expense to human life and effort (through wasted tax money), let us keep our poverty, culture, and sane values...

normally i wouldnt be so forthright and defensive, but the arrogant blindness of the comment really struck me as needing a counter, however unsupported by sources it may be (at this point, the futility and greed behind these wars and the global interference of wester nations, one in particular, is common knowledge).

i think thats exactly what he was saying. the part about 'sedating the masses' is also very apparent when u look at the robotic and homogenous modes of behaviour and 'exploration' promoted at school. they are also trying very hard to reduce interaction of kids with people outside their age group or level (including parents) which drastically cuts down on learning things in life that school will never teach u.

if that were to be true (elite not 'growing' at the masses' expense) it would have already happened. modern world is essentially what u describe, elites, lesser elites and then the struggling commons.

>it never has -- benefits go to the people who have the power to decide where the benefits go tautologically, i.e. capitalists

so it is a tautology by choice. they could decide to send the benefits of faster and increased production to the masses.

funny how that automatically happens when someone mentions posture
