@ArticBlueFox965 жыл бұрын
I love bats, I love the idea of a genius, martial artist, who saves people through technological gimmicks. I love the batfamily design, especially Barbara Gordon (even though I dislike her police family). However, I think Batman is bad for society. Batman demonizes criminals and mental illness, instead of trying to fix the problems that lead to crime. Batman brutalizes those he fights. Batman tries to control the city through fear at night and through money during the day. Why is environmentalism constantly made into a villain through Poison Ivy - not to mention other good causes are regularly villainized? Batman allies with the police (whom are corrupt and/or violent), and fails to rehabilitate the Gotham prisoner population. Batman is ineffective as the Gotham crime rate never goes down. The figure of Bruce Wayne glorifies wealth and capitalism. Batman has inspired other acts of violent vigilantism.

@@ArticBlueFox96 There was a period and medium where Batman did more than just beat up on criminals. Batman The Animated Series made a point of having Batman try to connect to the villains, try to reason with them, try to rehabilitate with them, and where those efforts were shown to be able to bear fruit. There were several villains introduced or reintroduced in that series where we saw growth and development, moments where, instead of beating the hell out of a villain, Batman simply let his opponent put their weapon down, and cry for everything that led them to that moment, and the episode would end on that. I distinctly remember a Harley Quinn focused episode where, simply through a series of misunderstandings, Harley went from rehabilitated but on probation to right back in Arkham, just because she started a scene over a dress she'd already paid for but hadn't gotten the security devices removed from. And we see Batman bring her back, but with hope that she'll be back out soon, and sad that things went the way they did. Really, DCAU's Batman was all sorts of great, and the kind of Batman I wish we'd see more often.

That is certainly the problem now, but the question should also be asked as to what happens once we solve it. Because I don't think it's impossible to have a world where we can have both the potential to become billionaires (individual wealth generation, after all, is a cornerstone of freedom) and the ability to support the whole of society. We cannot be so cynical that we would believe any rich person only spends money to whitewash their own reputation or dodge taxes. And let's be really honest, a lot of anger towards rich people stems from jealousy. There is only so much we can blame "the system", an abstract construct many of us won't even begin to bother to understand, and not have even the slightest bit of accountability. The fact is a lot of us would absolutely readily become or be like the rich if we had the chance, but accepting responsibility for our own behaviour is something beyond a lot of people. This is not an absolute defense of the super-rich (I'm absolutely far from one myself, working an hourly wage and with barely any savings); what I'm saying is we have to be balanced.

@aanchalsaxena11355 жыл бұрын
@@Zzyzzyzzs a system that allows billionaires to exist can't coexist with one where there is no wealth inequality, that is, one where no one is poor. The ability to accumulate wealth is vastly different from earning it, and the difference is how in the current system millionaires became multi millionaires and billionaires. Wealth is not indefinite, and if we represent it as a balancing beam, then as long as it's concentrated on one side, the other side will never have the same. Jealousy is oftentimes built on a feeling of not having something that someone else does. This is anger, at the 26 (richest billionaires) people who have as much wealth as 3.8 billion (poorest half of the world) people, combined. At Jeff Bezos, having as much money as the health budget of an entire COUNTRY (Ethiopia). This is anger at the system, that allows such outrageously wealthy people to exist and thrive, while others are struggling to make ends meet or aren't at all. The reality is, all of us are more likely to end up poor than end up a billionaire. Justifying billionaires hypothetically with a scenario that puts us in their shoes can only go so far before reality catches up. Billionaires make the conscious choice to keep accumulating wealth, it's time to hold them accountable for it.

@Tim Evans "economic freedom" - you mean the "freedom" to exploit others, to leech "profit" from the work others do. Let's assume for a moment that there were a reasonable and ethical way to earn $1 Million per year: Even if we say that someone who wants to hit that mark would need to work 60 hours per week every week with no holidays, they'd still have to make/average $320.51 per hour. I think we can all acknowledge that not too many jobs pay at that rate. But if someone could and did earn that much and work that much, and somehow live without having to spend a penny of it, they'd have to do that for one thousand years to earn a billion dollars. Even if we consider generational wealth, handed down from parent to child, how many generations is a thousand years. A lot of people in recent years are learning more about their ancestry through genealogy websites, but how many people can trace their family back to 1019 AD? That predates capitalism by several centuries! There simply is no ethical way to become a billionaire. It *necessarily* involves stealing wealth generated by the work of others.

Now, biden will be the democratic nominee, which means the general will be between biden and trump.

Exactly. It's what Slavery was used for as well. When America started, it was white poors, then they saw that whites were being unhappy and so they started bringing in black slaves to make the poor whites feel superior and then the cycle repeats for every other race. THey also control most of the media and so what happen was they starting creating propaganda in order to make all those lower than them fight with eachother so they can get away with everything. Everyone is basically used as a scapegoat, including other countries. There is a huge gain for the wealthy during this pandemic as well, which was why they leaked it and hosted event 201 (which was an event only for the wealthy)

Tensioncore Nah, in the case of batman, its the influence of Wayne enterprises on Gotham, that even lead to the extreme wealth inequality and corruption, that turned Gotham into a city filled with crime. If instead of putting billions into the development of stupid suits, he would just fund better schools and work on creating more jobs, he could solve the crime problem. And its the same with real life billionaires. Jeff Bezos has workers who need food stamp subsidies to even survive and yet he is praised for donating some money to poor people. Bill Gates got rich with computers that were built with resources that were mined under extreme conditions in extremely poor regions and now he donates some money into the regions where all the rare earths in the chips were mined and acts like his contribution is the best thing to happen. If Bezos would just pay his workers, nobody would need his donations. If Gates would ensure that all the workers in the production chain of his products were fairly compensated, nobody would need his donations. Billionaires create problems and then they act like a simple donation is actually helping.

The country is literally for profit gain and thats why people like Tesla was erased from the history books and that is why Elon Musk (like many successful companies like google, facebook, amazon) are all slaves to their VC. That is why so many rich people been doing business in the USA. This is also why they overcharge you by a huge margin. You buy a pair of nikes that cost 3 dollar to make, for 100 dollars and that same pair of shoes isn't made from expensive materials, its just materials that makes it durable(the materials could cost maybe 10cents each shoe). America is for profit and it was that way since Lincoln was assassinated. JFK was assassinated because he was going to expose to America what happen to our democracy and our freedom.

@@NightRogue77 Actually that is correct in some form because the people who runs for president have money to run. It's not like you can be John Lenon and run for president, because you don't have money. You cannot be a poor person who wanted to run for president and help the poor because you know what the struggle is being poor. People who run for president tends to invest millions or billions of dollars into their campaign and if you dont have that money, no one will know who you are and why you are running. Once they become president, they manipulate the laws in their favor and they use tax dollars (other people's money) for their expenses. Trump is doing that right now. The president have the power to cut funding if he chooses to, which Trump is doing right now. We are looking to a possible future of no retirement and everyone will need to work for the rest of their life to cover their living expenses. With addition to this pandemic, we will be looking at the USA being one of the poorest country in the world.

@@Americansikkunt If the "game-show host" you mean is Mr. Minhaj, then I believe the more applicable term is 'talk show', not 'game show'; this may be one reason for my initial confusion, though I understand that it may seem like petty semantics from your point-of-view. Now, why is Hasan Minhaj here discussing the social effects of billionaires (including and perhaps especially their philanthropic efforts) and concluding by advocating to increase their tax rates? It's not propaganda because Hasan's explanations make plenty of sense and are backed up by real facts and rigorous research. He shows the audience his reasons for coming to the conclusions as he does and mentions his sources verbally when he doesn't show them on the large screens behind him. Thus, we can all check his work to be sure he is making as much sense as he thinks he is. I checked a few of these sources myself, and they seem legitimate to me (without a worrying degree of bias one way or another). The conversation at the end with Anand Giridharadas is especially good because of Gridharadas's insightful way of detailing his train of thought so that others can understand why he thinks as he does and why his perspective has a LOT of merit. In short, I can only conclude that you (Cult Boy) didn't actually watch the video with a mind to understand it, but at best 'hate-watched' it in order to pick it apart to satisfy your own previously accepted viewpoint (or perhaps didn't watch the Patriot Act video at all and skipped right to leaving a comment). It's difficult for me to believe that you watched the video with some reasonable degree of open-mindedness before dismissing it entirely as 'propaganda'.

Here's a thought how about people can start feeling grateful for what have and use their own to donate to charity, rather than hate the people that actually do meaningfully contributions I know crazy right ? the world could without Hasan Minhaj doing his D-rate comedy routine but he wouldn't t have a job to begin if Reed Hastings ( a billionaire) didn't go out his way to create Netflix in the first. Hastings creates value all Hasan Minhaj dose is hate on the rich..

After all, the right-wing get called "antisemitic" for calling out that nazi collaborator who literally went around confiscating property from jews along with SS officers. Just watch the Fox News clip where the Former House Speaker Gingrich is told by Fox News that mentioning his name or discussing He-who-shall-not-be-named on TV is not allowed, to which he replies "So it's verboten?" and there is a long awkward silence. Really one of the most amazing few seconds in news media. The way he put him as the most far left billionaire when he is on the right side of the screen blocking Oprah also signals mentally that he is the most evil of the billionaires (the "furthest away" from the host who is calling them out)
