  1. Anyone who believes information coming from reasontv can't be particularly bright

  2. I love how people are so ignorant they don't know that the reason Foundation is funded by billionaires connected to the oil and banking Industries. Anything they propagate is almost guaranteed to be the opposite of the truth. They almost make Alex Jones look intelligent

  3. Interesting considering that the reason Foundation gets most of its funding from the oil and banking industry LOL

  4. You'd be better off taking the opposite point of view of whatever reason TV is propagating. They get most of their funding from billionaires connected to the oil and banking industry. They literally get millions of dollars to attack the left. Yeah, if the oil and banking industry is spending Millions to tell you that global warming is a hoax, it must be true.

  5. Capitalism is dependant upon consumption. When consumption slows, unemployment expands and the market contracts. One persons expenditure is another person's paycheck. It's a consumption-based system. Corporations spend billions of dollars on Advertising every year in order to get people to buy crap that they don't need. They have people believing that they're imperfect, inadequate, Etc. They've invested billions to develop high-tech propaganda to maximize invidious consumption, conspicuous consumption, planned obsolescence, perceived obsolescence, Etc. The list goes on and on. Capitalism is one of the most wasteful and destructive systems ever devised. "It is reliably estimated that species extinctions now proceed at 1000 times their normal rate, and that up to 99% of the materials used in the US production process end up as waste within 6 weeks. For every ton of garbage, in turn, there are 5 tons of materials to produce it, and 25 tons extracted from nature to yield these materials. But these facts are not connected across the fields of expertise which track them. As the earth is thus stripped and polluted by ever more unfettered global market operations, the market paradigm of value that leads governments does not factor into its calculus the countless life forms, habitats and systems which are thus extinguished and poisoned. When objections are raised, the followers of the paradigm that rules sternly warn that all is necessary ‘to keep the economy going’. Peoples increasingly observe that their life-ground is being devastated, but no ‘new discovery’ reports that every step of decision behind this process of life-destruction is taken to enact the global market programme."

Its goal is to convert nature into commodities and commodities into capital, to invest and accumulate, transmuting every part of the world into its own image for its own realization. The modern capitalist imperative is simply to create more money for idle investors by any means possible. This growth is often enabled by predation on the publicly-held resources that represents real value, thereby diminishing the community's ability to sustain itself in the long run. Forests are clear-cut; public utilities are privatized; social programs are gutted; and so on. The net result is that the quality of life for the vast majority of the world's citizens has declined." ~ Michael Parenti At this stage of the global market system’s reproduction of transnational money sequences to unheard-of volumes and velocities of transaction and growth, a systematic and irreversible destruction of planetary life-organization emerges for the first time in history. If we consider the defining principles of carcinogenic invasion and eventual destruction of a life-host, and do not avoid or deny the symptom profile in evidence, we discern a carcinogenic pattern increasingly penetrating and spreading across civil and environmental life-organization. There are seven defining properties of a cancer invasion which medical diagnosis recognizes at the level of the individual organism. These seven properties can now be recognized for the first time at the level of global life-organization as well. And this is the pathological core of our current disease condition. That is, there is: (1) an uncontrolled and unregulated reproduction and multiplication of an agent in a host body; that (2) is not committed to any life function of its life-host; that (3) aggressively and opportunistically appropriates nutriments and resources from its social and natural hosts in uninhibited growth and reproduction; that (4) is not effectively recognized or responded to by the immune system of its hosts; that (5) possesses the ability to transfer or to metastasize its growth and uncontrolled reproduction to sites across the host body; that (6) progressively infiltrates and invades contiguous and distant sites of its life- hosts until it obstructs, damages and/or destroys successive organs of their life-systems; and that (7) without effective immune-system recognition and response eventually destroys the host bodies it has invaded.

  6. And by the way, reasontv is funded by billionaires connected to the oil and banking industry. Their target audience is ignorant individuals that have little to no education.
