The colonialists brought crime from Europe to Africa - Baleka Mbete

[Ponderer]

I'm stupid according to you, you want to listen to a stupid person?

I would like to know why you have a problem with banks.

what you would like is not my problem

 

[Ponderer]

what you would like is not my problem

So you have no problem with banks?

 

[saturnz]

Yes I agree violence is a problem, but sometimes nessecery if someone doesn't want to pay up. That's why we have police and stuff to make sure people stay civilised and honour contracts.

false equivalence, what the central banks are doing is a scam, and they require guns to run this scam

However that is all completely besides the point. You name dropped Krugman as a authority that agrees with you. Please show me where Krugman ever said usury is bad or central banks aren't necessary.

you have to show me where I said Krugman agrees with me, I already provided the context of why I quoted him

 

[saturnz]

make your point

Okay I give up.

 

[Ponderer]

make your point

You are talking through your a$$.

 

[saturnz]

You are talking through your a$$.

your point is made, I acknowledge you made your point

 

[SAguy]

They act stupid, they speak stupid English and generally just be stupid on purpose. They think this will impress people. They think they are clever but by this tactic and that we will forgive them for this stupidity because stupid is the only resolve, the only backup they have, their only defense mechanism.

I don't care whether they can speak English or not. Wouldn't even mind if they spoke no English at all and had a translator with them all the time. Would happily trade the language for some intelligence

 

[saturnz]

Okay I give up.

since you brought up Keynes

By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security but [also] at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth.

 

[rietrot]

since you brought up Keynes

Yes and the authoritarian globalist view that as a good thing. They like their power to confiscate people's stuff, and believe it is justified.

I lean more towards liaise fiar free markets and the Austrians.

In anyway what has any of that got to do with this thread.

Central banking isn't responsible for Southern Africa being a shîthole. We have one and we don't have oil so there's no attempts by the US to bring us some democracy

read the Keynes quote again, the last bit is the important bit, and wasn't South Africa like the richest country in terms of mineral wealth?

 

[The_Librarian]

So traffic jams can also be blamed on colonialism?

Yes gold in the ground. There's only one way to realise the riches from that. That is to dig it up and sell it.

And it's not arbitrary. Our government issue mining licences and control who can extract that wealth and most gold mines are publicly traded so you can buy into the ownership.

give people pieces of paper in return for the dug up stuff, sounds like a good deal

You can buy physical, you know this?
Nobody forces you to accept paper gold.

completely missing the point, but understandable

 

[rietrot]

What point? Spell it out. You somehow think you have a claim to the gold in the ground and should profit from it without investing or doing any work to extract it
