  • Don’t Drink That Kool-Aid. (10min.)

    Ok I am a fan of Harding College's retro movies.

    The good ones are not that easy to spot on cyber-space, but here is another of particular interest.

    Lets call this one: FIRE Kool-Aid.




    Runtime: 10min.

      This was pre-FIRE. Used to demonstrate/strike fear that the alternative to our way would be commun-ISM.

      Today FIRE may use it as kool aid to support the status quo, but the principals in the video? sound, IMHO. Spend some time, even today, in China, Russia, and Africa and see what the alternative is.

      Give me a video promoting buying your home for the 'tax break', borrowing yourself into oblivion for your education and the credit cards for kids, then we've got kool aid.

      Yes, I agree though that FIRE will struggle at some point and resort to misuse of democratic principles as justification to uphold a system which only benefits gamblers (for serial bubble blowing) and financial oligarchs.

      We still believe in private property and free enterprise, don't we? Just not using it to justify financial oligarchy.

      Thanks for posting, by the way - I did enjoy it very much.
