yo man, we live in a competitive savage, kill or be killed world.
if something can be done for cheaper, or better or whatever, somewhere else, it will be done.
all empires rise and fall. just join the winning side.
there's no point trying to restore a rotting fruit. it's easier to grow a new one somewhere else.
you talk as if other nations are complete alien groups. no they're human. we're all human. we all live on earth. there are no "sides". migrate to where you prosper.
don't hold on to something that's dying, cut it off early and move on.
survival has no loyalty. not to your company, not you your nationality or country or anything... to some extremes people wont even stay loyal to friends or loved ones.
nothing lasts forever.
the only thing you should be loyal to is your species. you can do that from any (prospering) nation on this planet. if yours is dying, and you feel you have no way to survive, do something else, move somewhere else.
there's plenty of space open in the military. survival means changing your morales and values. adapt. in this world you need money. just make it from WHEREVER you can.
and last but not least, lol, don't rely on school for jack shit. the only thing it'll get you 100% guaranteed for sure is, a better understanding of whatever field you study, and a lot of debt. if you expect more from that, you'll be highly disappointed.
an education is just that, an education. it isnt supposed to get you anything else. that's up to you.
that's my take on this whole situation. the people protesting are either too lazy, don't have any other skills (and not willing to learn), and don't have any connections to anything outside their little circle. and they all probably over value their education by a hell of a lot.
who's fault is that? lol, it's their own. those skills to connections and to adapt are things that take life long to build. they took the wrong path. you take the wrong path, you suffer. they don't wanna do labour. they don't wanna scrub toilets. they dont wanna work at mcdonalds. if nothing is avaliable, you take what you can get, or you fucking die. they made a mistake somewhere in their life, now they're paying. they didnt question anything. they just followed the herd, and now the herd is going to be slaughtered and they're all complaining.
don't get me wrong, i hate banks, i hate giant financial institutions, i hate money.
i think our system is completely fucked. but you don't see me protesting.
i think killing is generally bad, i'm in the military.
i hate the financial system, i'm a futures trader.
why? because those 2 things ensure my survival right now. and i also know those 2 things won't go away, and are also things that will make me stronger, and make me more money in this world. fight fire with fire. it also gives you a hell of a lot more credibility when you fight against it, because you have a lot of it.
when you have nothing, you are nothing. you have no voice, and you have no power.
i don't have time to fight the system. maybe when im a billionaire and have plenty of power (money), and time on my hands.
only pick fights where you'll win.
these protests wont get anywhere unless they get violent (globally). and even then, the protesters are probably too disorganized and stupid to execute anything sustainable if they get their way.
you always have the choice of becoming a monk and giving up all attachments to everything you know and living in a monastery somewhere for the rest of your life. wouldn't that be the most right thing for everyone to do? no wars, no money, no greed, no attachments. just pure happiness? what's wrong with that? isnt it better than suffering in the lower class being poor as fuck? hah.
i love complaining, ive been complaining my whole life. let me tell you, it doesnt get you jack shit.
you want something, you go and you fucking take it.
you don't like something? you get rid of it.
talk is cheap right?
protesting is talk.

see that?
theres a reason their generation is named "the greatest generation"
living through 2 world wars and a great depression.
you didnt see them fucking protesting. they worked till they couldnt work anymore.
they would take any job offered to them.
gangsters/mobsters prospered during this time, and then those people prospered. why? they changed their morales and values to survive. they're willing to adapt.
if you aren't, well that's your problem. you morales and values that are set in stone are going to kill you.
someone that's willing to work, when you've given up, will prosper. that is life. survival of the fittest. losers die, winners live. life isnt fucking fair. the end.
