I come from a total...Sorry, but I have to disagree.<br />I come from a totally different background: I do not trade, I'm into geopolitics and the peace movement. <br />From a completely different starting point I have come to very similar conclusions. ZH offers me the financial explanation for something I had already understood politically. His analysis is very direct, unlike most media, but mostly correct imo. Yes, he always gives it the apocalyptic spin, often ignoring other possible outcomes. Of course he has his own interests in this, his own bets running before informing others, what do you think? Who hasn't in finance? <br />But he points out certain problems with remarkable clarity and leaves out all the blabla that often make it so hard to get the important point.<br /><br />ZH is brilliant, even if sometimes he sees an elephant where there is none, and even if he has not understood the european welfare model. Because he knows only about money and little about society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-14267028029365447152014-07-01T04:14:40.346-04:002014-07-01T04:14:40.346-04:00I've read ZH on and off for a few years, and i...I've read ZH on and off for a few years, and it's tragic, especially the comments, which just get worse and worse.<br />The whole 'socialist europe' vs 'free mkt USA' mono-meme.<br />The 'it's the jews' tragedy. <br />It's like watching the jacobins in a new media format. They want blood.<br />Having followed the 'everything is going to collapse and this is how' meme since,<br />well, 2008 [that's 6 years now that everything has been 'collapsing', BDI at all time lows, silver about to break out, bitcoin is great/awful bla bla bla, run for the hills, alienate friends and family] <br />it is worth noting that people have swallowed the notion that<br />they can 'prepare' for 'what is coming'. It's a cult. A cult that focusses on what you can buy over what you can 'do' with your life. It's extreme materialism, and exactly how those pesky 'elites' might want people to think. It's a financial cult I used to be a part of till I realised I was being led by my fears and a misguided notion that I knew 'what was coming'. <br />Reading pop-eyed extremist haters 'stacking' guns and gold and rambling on about military hardware and armchair generalising is about as fun as listening to adverts for berkey water filters and dried food or listening to Lindsey f****ng Graham.<br />This is how people are marginalised and removed from society - they join a club [a fight club] and their time is wasted by the internet which gives them a feeling of being a part of something. Those that need to be a 'part of something' are prone to having their time completely wasted by non-stop addictive entertainment like financial news, whether it be mainstream or fringe. They are also prone to really extreme rightwing views about others, crave someone to blame and may one day act on these dangerous fantasies. Snowden and Greenwald are the latest in the mainstreaming of Paul-esque extremism. It may all join up at some point when Jeb Bush gets the WH.<br />Wanting to 'be a part of something' and 'knowing what will happen in the future' is what leads otherwise good people to waste their lives on the internet. <br />Yes, our systems are corrupted. Yes, the financial world is perrenially corrupt. <br />Yes, the ruling class are parasites. But the faulty systems we have now are still far better than what my parents had, or their parents - this is self evident. <br />My grandmother worked in a workhouse in Lancashire. That was white slavery.<br />Slavery ennabled by lack of regulation of the robber barons. Regulation by parliament.<br />Parliament is, of course, corrupt. But lack of parliament is far worse.<br />Let's not go back there. <br /><br />- dayzeroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17232051.post-14843548285253437152013-12-17T10:51:45.413-05:002013-12-17T10:51:45.413-05:00Dear Noah, are you a millionaire investor?
