I really like how you libertards worship the rich

>>73840

What evidence do you have to support your position that we worship the rich?

>>73840

I really like how you socialists have created a single boogieman for any and all problems you see in societies.

>>73843

This thread and many other like retarded statements. You'd think rich people were impeccable gods

>>73847

>he says, as he accuses me of being the boogieman

oh the irony

>>73877

>A thread about a movie

That is your evidence? Go crawl back to whatever board you came from.

>>73877

Are you saying you're not a socialist? Is that why you immediately assumed that criticizing a movie which espouses Keynesian voodoo magic as "worshiping the rich", your undying love for the free market?

>>73884

>It seemed pretty good until the end when they were like "now people are going to blame their problems on poor people and minorities".

For me, it was that plus those scenes where a character looked straight at the camera and bemoaned, "The system DOESN'T WORK." I enjoyed it as entertainment but every time they tried to talk genuine economics it fell a bit flat.

>>73882

The movie is based on true events

But here's your (You)

>>73889

>The movie is based on true events

No shit, who would have guessed. Having a thread on it doesn't show evidence of anything you are espousing.

>>73839

>watching movies

NORMIES GET OUT REEEEE

>>73889

You do realize a lot of those "based on true events" films often exaggerate or outright lie about said "true events".

>>73922

this

>>73947

>outright lie

See, this is what I meant. It's not just about this movie, you people are always looking to exonerate the rich, they can do no wrong in your eyes. It's always muh gubmint's fault

>>73970

I was talking about movies that claim they are based about true events no the rich people. Besides there are rich people who are assholes anyway.

>>73970

>muh gubmint

yes, which is often but not always the same people as the rich, and most of the rich got rich by using the gov

>>73970

>you people are always looking to exonerate the rich, they can do no wrong in your eyes.

Said no one ever. Even Ayn Rand portrayed evil businessmen, and that women is a hundred times more blunt than anyone here.

>It's always muh gubmint's fault

Don't you think that topic deserves its own thread? I won't derail this one just to explain why our case against the government is not that simplistic.

I am a libertarian because I hate people who abuse their power, and this people often are rich people, because in this world most of the people that get rich are cronies.

I honestly find libertarians who suck rich people's cock pathetic as fuck. At least the leftists cucks are mentally ill and indoctrinated by the State, but what excuse libertarians have? I mean, if you like cock so much join the american libertarian party.

There is a big difference between a person who provide services people need and like, and therefore he becomes rich, and a person who uses various crony-capitalism tecniques to make his money. First one good, second one disgusting.

In the case of the financial crisis of 2008 those finance fags were basically doing crony-capitalism, since they knew when they would screw up they would go cry to daddy government and it would fix all the shit they did.

I honestly would like to see how they would pull all this complicated bullshit and dump it on common people if there wasn't a government putting dumb regulations and bailing out the wall street scum.

If it weren't for the SEC, laws and other tools to aid the cronies, good and clear deals would have the space they really deserve on the financial market and I think it would be a great space (but I'm not a commie and I don't pretend to predict the economy, so who knows for sure).

That said, the movie is good and I don't see anything wrong with it. They don't even make people who made money on the crisis look bad.

When normies cry inspired by that movie, make them understand that all the shit was possible because the government helps rich evil cronies and obstructs, taxes and persecutes honest hard-working people.

It's a good opportunity to make them see the light.

<bankers indulge in high risk, high gain investment strategies safe in the knowledge that big daddy gov will bail them out

>REECH PEPUL IS EBUL! HELP US GUBMIN! JEEZUS PRAISE GUBMIN! ONLY GUBMIN CAN SAVE US!

>>73992

>bankers would be the sweetest little angels if muh gubmint wasn't forcing them at gunpoint to be corrupt

<this is what anarkikes actually believe

>>73970

>We should make everyone poor so that there are no mean greedy rich people anymore.

This is what brainlets actually believe.

>>73970

>Twenty kipping pullups are as good as one proper pullup

<This is what crossfitters actually believe

Read the comment again, that's not what was said. Look at it this way: Imagine if you will, a spoiled little shit with wealthy parents. If this little shit knew that Daddy was best friends with the police chief and would always bail him out of jail, would he be more or less likely to do stupid and reckless things that get him into jail? Conversely, think about what would happen to the little shit if Daddy tells him his credit cards are cut off, and if he gets arrested he's on his own. In that latter scenario, does knowing his actions have consequences suddenly make him the "sweetest little angel?" No, of course not. But does it mean he's less likely to make a fool of himself, and at least attempt to remain careful? Absolutely.
