The Zeitgeist Movement

[Oasis]

The problem with the first Zeitgeist thread is that that's exactly what Thar tried to do, and the way he did so was misleading. Wizzeh and I together built the OP, and we aimed to avoid saying anything that might be misleading to avoid a repeat of the last thread. If you want to be informed about the movement, watch the videos. If you don't care enough to watch the videos, don't, but don't complain in this thread that we aren't spoon-feeding you. You don't have to post here or read this thread or watch the videos, we aren't forcing you to.

But we can participate in this thread without watching the videos. Remember that.

So the solution is basically people giving up what they have to the government/religion in order to mae everything better? Sounds like communism to me.

A system could have the perfect structure, yet be corrupted by a couple bad leaders. This has happened to just about every single system ever established.

Not the US corporate system. The are numerous examples of corrupt CEOs being fired by shareholders.

There is no government or religion in this system.

What first inspired you to be a "part" of this movement?

At Mr. Wizard, since you haven't responded yet. :c

[Illidan]

hows about we all just fend for ourselves and not care about people outside our lives?

So its anarchy and atheism combined? Sounds like a shiity movement

[Dodger]

There is no government or religion in this system.

Then who the forget is supposed to control bat-stuff insane people?

There will always be someone who will cause chaos and destruction to instill fear in others and gain power.

Also, look what de-Christianization did to the French Revolution.

The laws made by the people, OH WAIT, THATS A GOVERNMENT FORM

Spock showed it to me, I agree with (some) of it. I'm not really involved in the movement I just agree with some of it.

There is no government So therefore people do whatever they want because there is no one to control them. This is the LAST thing people wantor religion So no religion. Only already atheists would like this idea and thus only athiests would join this movement, but thats also if they beleive in anarchy, which is a small amount.in this system.

The US doesn't have a "corporate system". A corporation does.

There is no government or religion in this system.

So it's anarchy.

Nothing you're saying is supporting your argument, and why are you even trying to get people to conform to your cause? You can't just reform countries at a whim. The way you idiots go on about this is virtually the same as a religion. Broken in similar ways too.

Oh forget it. I'm not arguing this stuff again.

Spock showed it to me, I agree with (some) of it. I'm not really involved in the movement I just agree with some of it.

Wow. You agree with *some* of it, but defend the entire movement?

Do you see how absurdly ironic this is? You're no better than religious zealots defending their sacred texts. "OH, that's the OLD testament, I only believe in *some* of it"

God damn you're stupid. I'm done.

That's not very nice. :c

I liked it better in the olden days. When people were connected in small communities, while still taking care of their own land; Living off its great bounty. When the air was fresh and the quilts made at home - when the cabins were log and the culture was simple. A "system" ran as a family, a household, in small bundles and in cooperation with each other. No worry given to monetary gain, but rather to simple sentiment and joy. Love. When people grew as one and blossomed as individuals....

What parts do you agree with? Is there anything major that you disagree with, or are they just minor?

My eyes got musty from reading that, so beautiful.
