In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, French economist Thomas Piketty documents how wealth is becoming concentrated in ever fewer hands.
This might not be a problem were it not that capital is increasingly owned by shitheads. No doubt Piketty's capital/income ratio was on the high side in Tsarist Russia and medieval Florence, and they invented Tolstoy and the renaissance.
But look at these shitheads. What will they invent?

"Yeah, I know I don't deserve it, but I'm damned if I'll give it back." |
Are such people going to emulate Lorenzo the Magnificent and sponsor artists and scholars? Or is it more likely that they will order up fine wines and pour them over their bell-ends, howling with mirth while the planet goes to hell? Piketty fails to address this question.
It simply isn't sustainable that so many of the world's resources are controlled by people with the cultural level of baboons. As Zola* put it:
"On the morning when they felt their strength, millions of workers would be face to face with a few thousand idlers…. Men were springing forth, a black avenging army, germinating slowly in the furrows, growing towards the harvests of the next century, and their germination would soon overturn the earth."

Getting philosophical in your old age, Harry?
ReplyDelete"It simply isn't sustainable that so many of the world's resources are controlled by people with the cultural level of baboons." No, baboons have better taste.
ReplyDeleteThank God at least Goldman Sachs is on the side of the angels. They hand $200k over to Hillary Clinton every time she turns up to burp the Internationale at one of their conferences, and we all know there's no-one poorer than a Clinton...
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think those shitheads are rich, Harry? If you took out a personal loan, you could dress yourself up in all those fine feathers and gewgaws, and look like a bigger shithead than any of them. And kindly don't insult baboons when you don't know anything about their culture. That's my job.
ReplyDeleteThis cunt Piketty has certainly sparked the World's touch-hole. Even got Hutton out of the W.C.
ReplyDeletePicketty is a thoughtful fellow, Harry, but he doesn't say how wealth got concentrated in the hands of a particular ethnic group that invented the practice of chopping foreskins off babies. It seems that some glaring facts are just too awkward to mention in polite company.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that's the real Sol. His current obsession is Jewish control of the media - he stopped sniping about circumcision and Jewish gold years ago. Check out this comment he made on another blog:

You've got to keep your on eyes on the ball if you want to be a convincing Sol impersonator.
A black avenging army? Was that the one led by Cetshwayo which routed the British at Isandlwana? The Zulus are pretty docile these days - they remind me of the Harlem Globetrotters.
ReplyDeleteRod Shaftsbury. There's a name that evokes memories. One of the most exciting internet adversaries of his generation, if it's the same Rod Shaftsbury. How are things, Rod? Has the internet been treating you well?
ReplyDeleteHere's a little film for those of us preparing for Shabbos. 'Fiveish' is the Haradim's equivalent of Sponge-Bob. Very popular children's figure here in Israel. Enjoy

I don't quite believe you're the real Sol either, although you get points for remembering my name. I was never really an adversary of Sol - I sat on the sidelines and gawped during the long David Irving thread, which Harry says has been saved somewhere for posterity. I see myself as one who tries, against the odds, to preserve the memory of Sol amongst a dwindling community. Nostalgia is all this blog is good for these days.
ReplyDeleteI presume, Rod, that the recent kidnapping and murder of three of my neighbors has left you suitably impressed. It's just like another Holocaust, only with more victims.
ReplyDeleteYou're getting better. Off-topic comments that don't belong in a humorous blog is more like the real Sol, but I'm still not convinced. I'm pretty sure Sol said he had left Israel in another blog.
ReplyDeleteI like monitoring Sol's comments in other (serious) blogs because they often have a flippant quality about them. Perhaps coming here has influenced his style, which is something we can all be proud of.
One never really leaves Israel, Rod. It's like the Mafia in that sense.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Harry's blog has been a welcome crutch at times, in an increasingly charmless world. I suppose we all have our reasons for visiting. Nostalgia? Obsession? Revenge? I hear violins playing.
I used to be convinced that Gorilla Bananas was a Jew-boy. I apologize for that. He isn't. How do I know this? "Gewgaws" Your Jew, however educated, would never say "gewgaws".
So it IS you, Sol! Not even your cleverest mimic would have the nerve to pontificate about the behaviour of the Jew like a 19th century German academic! You passed the Turing test there, me old mate!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely nostalgia in my case. I remember the days when this blog was a watering hole for wags from all over the internet. When you came charging nose-first into the hornet's nest, it was a seminal moment in the history of this blog. And you are a seminal character in its history, which is why I look for your comments on other blogs.
You're the only link left with those halcyon days. I never considered Ivan the Terrible or Gorilla Bananas to be part of the community, because they were here partly to promote their own blogs. It's the fools like you who came here to comment for its own sake that I remember with affection.
As for Hutton, he just comes here every 6 months to post some crap resembling a dried-out dog turd. Have you ever e-mailed Harry, Sol? You two should get together and discuss old times over a coffee. He owes you big-time for your work here. Maybe he would then be inspired to write a post called "My tête-à-tête with Sol", which would put some life back into this blog.
Why would it require 'nerve' to pontificate like a Victorian academic on the Jewish Question, Rod? Are they watching, do you suppose? Surely you don't buy into the old Gary Oldman canards.
ReplyDeleteUnless Mr. Hutton is planning to be in either Tel Aviv or Goa, coffee would be impossible I'm afraid, but thank you for the creative thought.
Thank you also for calling me a fool. You're right of course, Rod, and this fool remembers your name with affection as well.
I post the 'Preparations for Shabbos clip once more, and would point out the slight forward shuffle made at 2.42, by the bearded gentleman, prior to laying his hands on the little boy's head. That's a very nice touch.

Hey anonymous commenters!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to insert a name, just click on the Name/URL button below the comment box. You can leave the URL field blank, but it's better manners to insert a porn site, as I have done.
Thanks for the advice, A nonny mouse. Porn is the only thing that could liven up this comments thread.
ReplyDeleteAt least in the olden days of olden times we had some public spectacle from these dingleberries, like riding down the peasantry in the street. These days they just suck the money from the po' folks' paychecks, then go watch "The Kardshians Masturbate" on 38 iPhones at once. I say take the cars away from the poors and open up our metropolitan avenues to some sport!
ReplyDeleteGo fuck yourself, toasters, you oozing cooze. Stupid goddamn fuck.
ReplyDeleteWas Lorenzo the Magnificent not better known as Lorenzaccio - aka Big Bad Larry?
ReplyDeleteWhich one of you jokers has used my name in their novel? Is it you, Harry? A friend has pointed out that the main character in a book entitled 'This Scheme of Things' is called 'Sol Kashberg'. I want my cut of royalties, Hutton!
ReplyDeleteSol, you gorgeous loony, I'm going to buy that fucking novel just so I can read your crackpot name in it!
ReplyDeleteNo new post, Harry? Click on my name for some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGet a room you two!!
