Americans are thinking seriously about Donald Trump as president. Are Americans idiots in vast majority?
The answer of course is yes along with the vast majority of humanity.
Trade in one oligarchic member for another.
Then again, humanity in general is so delusional that they vote in tyranny on a regular basis that they call democratic government.
Chinese markets have fallen thirty percent in the last three months. How does the world react? With increased profit ratios in stocks. Somewhere down the line the world will not be able to ignore reality for much longer.
The majority of the Greek population voted no in terms of a third European Union bailout and economic austerity measures.
The entire majority of the Greek population lives in absolute penury, economic insecurity, and poverty.
How does the Greek government react to the will of its population? It ignores the vote and goes along with the bailouts or austerity measures anyways proving once again that when push comes to shove governments exist to profit themselves while not giving a flying f*ck what the majority of the population thinks even when stupid politicians or pedantic political followers say otherwise.
The sad fact is, Greece has now lost its identity.
Welcome to the new global order of systematic debt enslavement, fraud, deception, tyranny, and decadence of which has never been seen before in prior global history.
Today it’s Greece, tomorrow it’s the entire world.
Oh… my… god.
What will eventually happen is a world governmental system that expects the citizens of the world to give up their inalienable rights and their fervent patriotism. Politicians will support this and economists insist on it.
LaughingMan noted in this thread also, what we are witnessing, is the breaking down at a rapid rate of the existing order, I agree. The main uncertainty is whether man can exert a positive role in shaping a new world order or is doomed to await collapse in a passive posture.
Why resist a grand idea that promises peace and security? Greece could not and yes, others will follow. There will be no peace or security, the world is being lulled into a false sense of security.
That is propaganda because that is selective truth and gives a misleading picture of the reality.
Of course, it is true Chinese stocks declined 30% in the last three months. But, the picture tends to change completely when the complete truth revels that, Chinese market is still nearly double from where it was just one year ago.

So, does this so called 30% crash really mean anything?

It can go either way. Several points:
The ultra intelligence=ultra tech condition of the world today is incintestible. The relics of the past are merely, distractions, of , the shift from the static world view. The twofold view, on a philosophical basis, will be ironed out, and the ideological vacuum
will sustain the phenomenological-noumenological schism. However, as most people even now realize, the symbolic importance, as an aesthtic, as in the case of the symbolic significance of the royal governance of England, this duality will be resolved on basis other than ideological.
The phenomenal and the noumenal will sort of evaporate into eachnother, since it will be understood for what it is.
This program is already seen on all levels, as a necessery process, since th techno terror of the mushroom cloud is still a possibility, and this possibility will of necessity temper all other possible exit strategies. The socialization of psychological dissent, will, then, absorb any and all archaic levels of understandig, excepting on the most reduced, mythologicl level, and that too, as a sort of co-incidental way, as reminders, of the inherent noumenal architecture, (to be constantly re-structured, signified, and repaired). These elemental sturctural basis, existing on the aesthetic zone of referential necessity, will surve only the purposes of periodic revivals to conform to societal needs of justification
For these reasons, i do not at all see global ruin as a possibility.
It would have been nice to see a Hillary for President, but I guess America prefers reality TV celebs now-a-days.
I can see politicians, but economists?
There is an ATM in the city that I frequently visit in order to withdraw money and move it around, this particular ATM system has old technology installed causing it to automatically print out a balance receipt of the person’s account about 5 seconds after somebody uses it to withdraw money or just to check their on screen balance, by this time the individual has already left. I have stood behind a variety of people, from young to old, men to women, white to black, dressed poorly or wearing a fancy suit, interestingly enough, every balance which is printed on the receipt has always been less than £200…
“I told you, but noooooooo. Marx is wrong. Marx is an idiot. Marx doesn’t understand economics. Marx hasn’t read Fukuyama. Blah, blah, blah. I told you this was coming…now suck it.”
I know, right?
There is no positive outcome of such a global world order.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Same old, same old.
You’re correct on everything else.
For one, such an advanced technological society is not the salvation a majority would like to believe where instead it will be total damnation in the hands of the controlling elite.
I have no faith in technology of automated processes where it amazes me the naivety of those that do by comparison.
How you don’t see global ruin with all the many societal and existential policies being enacted around the world with the aftermath of various calamities within their implementation as a result is beyond me.
Hillary Clinton is much better? Laughs
Economics is a representation of political power. They go hand in hand.
Sign of the times. Look forward to seeing less and less amounts overtime.
Capitalism and Socialism leads to the same destination. Oligarchy…
Indeed, ever since the government imposed further austerity measures, the suicide rate, particular, in Greece has increased by 35% since 2011…That’s only going to increase even more. :-"
I agree totally.
I was being facetious.
The world will become a cashless society.
Trump’s bubble will burst way before the election. There is no doubt in my mind Clinton will be the next President of the U S of A, it has nothing to do with being ‘much better’, it has solely to do with the power behind her.
