IF you have a lot of debt, and don't mind living on little income, why not strike your own blow against the Empire and just not repay it?

Starve the Beast.

I know this scares the poop out of the powers that be, because I started this thread once and the Powers told the admins here to delete it.

So, discuss!

I have a feeling that a lot of people are already doing that, the downside is that your credit score goes down the toilet. They really delted it?

[I_Like_Plants]

Yeah, I looked all over for it, it got a few replies before, then poof gone.

Yes, people are doing this involuntarily, but I mean to try to break down the mental barriers, being a "good citizen" seems to be just about the opposite of being a good human being.

[Kristen]

yeah i read it earlier today. Deleting it would be against freedom of speech. Try looking up your user name and search for all topics by that user. hope that helps!

[I_Like_Plants]

I looked, it's gone.

Meanwhile, what each person can do is pledge to live such that "credit score" which means being a good house nigger as opposed to a bad field nigger, does not matter. Sorry to use the N-words but that's what we all are, working the big American plantation for the owning class.

[Kristen]

I definetily can relate to your logic, but remember the consequences. Garnished wages, levies on your banking accounts, and seziure of property are all things they can do. Remember the fine print you signed? Who knows what their codes actually pertain to. As you said earlier, eventually and involuntary it will happen. If the dollar goes to freefall mode, we're all going to be struggling. As I will always say, if the looting starts, I'm going to hit the pharmacy up first. Valium anyone?

You really have no idea what a class-stratified society the US has become, do you?

I don't own property. Nothing to take. No matter how hard I work, I'll never own property. I can live very cheaply, nothing worth taking.

I think there will be millions like this. There is no upward social mobility in the US any more. If you got born into property, horray for you. There are at least 100 million in my situation, not sure how many have faced up to it yet....

This is why I want to I want to incite a sort of revolt of the proletarians, those who don't own and never will own, only owe. We are the ones paying taxes, we're the big cash cows for the Beast.

[Kristen]

Well then we'll end up in visa camps and really be slaves to the system!

[I_Like_Plants]

I'm not sure, not if there are too many of us.

There may be too many of us defaulting to deal with anyway, whether we intend to or not!

Now: The stange life of this subject - Posting #1 was in depletion economics, I think it's been censured, Someone Else Here thinks it ended up in Americas discussion, a place I never go. This one, Posting #2, was in Depletion Economics, now it's in Open Discussion.

At least this one's not been eliminated.

I've never heard of a credit score outside of US. I also wouldnt believe if someone would tell me how many sheeple live in America. One would think that a communistic dictatorship would produce a lot of sheeple. No, the number is absolutely uncomparable somehow.

Sometimes I ask Americans why do they/ dont they act/speak/think/do/ this way and not another. The answer generally is similar: " eeehhh.. mmm... Becouse you (not) supposed to!!"
I am always wondering, where is that fat fuck who supposes everything for everyone?

[I_Like_Plants]

Ahh.... the fat f***.....That fat f*** is hard to ignore, that fat fuck is the Ur-American, the Good Citizen, the obese Perfect Being all we in 'Murrica are trying to be.

I know a lot of people skip out on debts because they have a lot of money and want to spend it on coke and whores, so they skip out to the Caymans or something, but I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about accepting living on very little, because chances are we're going to end up with very little anyway. Assume an income of $500 a month. You can get that cash, doing odd jobs or busking or something. Too little for the Empire to come after, you rent a room or something. Now of course 99.9% of Americans are still brainwashed very well, and still striving until their dying day for the "bling", but I think as the economy gets worse, frugality may become hip.

sure, but still its incredible how many people went to protect Stalin from German troops. Even with a million or two siding with Germans, there are were plenty of voluntiers to throw themselves under tanks for farther-stalin, ets.

Finally a sensible post.

In the solar-panels-on-rooftops thread, someone talked about being by the window with their sniper rifle defending their solar panels, while everyone else "huddles in the dark" well, humans made do with the natural dark/light schedule just fine up until very recently.....

I believe a version of this happened in Roman times, the rich or at least richer than most giving their lives over to protecting their STUFF.

With the white trash living next door (although they've become the police's special project now and are due to leave soon) I worry more than I have before about theft, funny that when I made $5 an hour and lived in a rooming house I never worried about theft, and saved 20% of my income!

I've already gotten over Ham Radio - what a dumb waste of time. It presupposes there's a society or "public" worth doing "public service" for in case of emergency, and having an expensive radio just makes you a target.

We are raised and educated to strive for the all encompassing and totally nonexistent “American Dream” bs, and most are doing their all to have it. What a sick joke it is too, and on all of us. The “good life” of the burbs, the SUV or two or three in the garage, the huge unaffordable mortgage, the career of cubicle dwelling and putting up with the morons you work with and for, going out in the yard every weekend to operate that miniature replica of a piece of huge American farm equipment the damned lawnmower to keep the stupid neighbors happy so they don’t get the idea you’re nothing but trailer trash, wondering all the while just how in the hell you’re ever going to be able to save enough to retire on anything but the shingles off your roof because you are so in debt you wanna kill yourself, and looking forward to living on nothing but social security or a reverse mortgage while your idiot kids come home from college, that you paid for by going into even more debt and take up permanent residence!

I tried to live that life for a while. On the day I finally sold that over-sized, money-pit, property tax nightmare, never ending maintenance intensive hellhole, I told the Realtor lady at the closing office, “I’ve lived the American dream, and I’m sick of it.” She just gave me a very strange look. I didn’t say a word. Let ‘em figure it out on their own.
Cheers

They understand the fact that true democracy is nothing but a fallacy whereby idiots are elected into power and these idiots then have to cater to the morons that elected them in the first place.

Music lessons are actually a really good idea. At worst, you have a way to entertain yourself (I myself plan on getting an acoustic guitar at some point).

At best, you have a way to at least earn some income.

Not a bad investment, really.
