R.I.P

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice . . . you don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying . . . lobbying, to get what they want . . . Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want . . . they don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that . . . that doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin' years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers . . . Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it . . . they’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fuckin' place. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in The big club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people . . . white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means . . . continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you . . . they don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all . . . at all . . . at all, and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream cause you have to be asleep to believe it . . .”

To Arson24 and EdJoy:
Just because he is dead, that doesn't make his words rightful and/or true.
Nihilistic humor can be acceptable if based on true statements not a misinformed one.

He says: "Saving endangered species, let me tell you about that, is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature..."

That is a shocking statement.
The only arrogant attempt in controlling nature was killing these animals, their habitat for MONEY, that is how we have been controlling nature for 100 years, that is what got us in this nightmare in the first place.

He says:
They disappear these days at the rate of 25 a day and I mean regardless of our behavior..." "let them go gracefully"

What he didn't tell you is that:

50 to 150 SPECIES in the tropics alone GO EXTINCT EVERY DAY because of human activities regardless of the 25 a day caused by Nature!

And to EdJoyProduction I wish these facts were overthinking.

Anyway I liked what he had to say here:

Thumbs up!

To EdJoyProductions:

We both agree that comedy is powerful and thought provoking.
But again it can be aimed at different directions.
It is too much of a nihilistic kind.
Somehow it reminded me of the nihilistic Joker character in "The dark knight" film.
Let the world burn as it doesn't make a difference to the grand scope of this Universe.
My philosophy of life is opposite to that.
I am aware we are small, infinitely small but that doesn't make us useless and shouldn't stop us from thinking and acting as we are BIG.
By me.

Two more quotes define partially my thinking:

"Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe,
so no thought or action is without its effects,
present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt."
Norman Cousins

"All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word “no.” To “no” there is only one answer and that is “yes.” Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread."
Victor Hugo

It's not the comedian's fault if people don't educate their selves, you are correct when you say that, so it is not people's fault if the comedian doesn't educate him self either.
When that comedian happens to have a great talent, a great reach and uses it to negatively influence people is indeed answering to the world's problems by exacerbating them.

I do not want to refer to his whole persona but more to this particular comedy piece:
"Why are we here? Plastic"

Matter of fact I just watched this video of him and I loved everything he said, made me laugh too.

Sullivan's travels by Preston Sturges which I am almost sure you watched it, has inspired me a lot.
