Message:: [QUOTE="longarm, post: 7516251, member: 76717"]I think the Reddit group should be commended for their attempt to wake up the masses to the fiscal insanity being forced on us, because who knows where this will lead. Does the stock market just keep going up? Only to turn it's paper millionaires into paupers with the debasement of our currency, or does it dump after all the insiders get out, leaving millions of folks wondering what happened to their retirement savings. But don't question them (your Corporate Financial Masters) or their minions (those whose investments depend on them), because then they attack you. Which brings me back to the masses and why should anyone care about them when they're so content with their lot in life?Plato said,“Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.”Marcus Aurelius said,"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."And my favorite definition of the masses was by Albert Nock who said,"As the word masses is commonly used, it suggests agglomerations of poor and underprivileged people, labouring people, proletarians, and it means nothing like that; it means simply the majority. The mass-man is one who has neither the force of intellect to apprehend the principles issuing in what we know as the humane life, nor the force of character to adhere to those principles steadily and strictly as laws of conduct; and because such people make up the great and overwhelming majority of mankind, they are called collectively the masses."Maybe by helping the masses we help ourselves, so if a Reddit group can help the masses I'm all for it, because in the end it might help us all.
