    Mafia supporter then? Italy got some significant issues with mafia (well technically Camorra) infiltration in the cloth industry. And the following mistreatment in the name of money.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    And here we have the penoza which is pretty much the same thing. What else can I do, I just avoid their stuff when I can. There is no meta-explanation to morality, I keep my own. Everybody is a hypocrite if they don't really give a shit about something, but are just having a cause. What's their cause really, being able to congratulate themselves on being oh so good. What else, they get a mental breakdown if they can't get their kids on a 99% white school (mandatory negroe) I am not going to jerk them off. I dispise them, all they want for themselves is what others should do. Company's make money. You don't have buy what they make. I don't buy it if I don't like what's behind it.

    If the world's wealth is being held by less people as time goes by, that just means fewer people to put up against the wall when the revolution comes. We are saving lives with our current economic system!

    I should've pointed it out in my original post. It had more to do with the problems of identifying that kind of crap when you're so isolated from the source, than any hypocracy accusation against you.

    Voting with your vallet is very limited in many cases. And even doing your best contains traps.

    If there is any hypocracy flown against me that's ok, I allready know that I am a hypocrite. Do I really care, no I don't, it is not my power to change anything. I would if I could but I can't. So I am just flowing with the currents just like everybody else and I'll just have to see where I wash up. It could be at the riviera of Monaco or something less extraordinary. I am doing the best I can, what more is to be expected from me. I don't have all that much, even if I am pretty well off. You should be glad with what you have, what others have shouldn't matter.

    Rich people plot all day long about how they can get what others have to get more themselves because they want more for themselves. This is the essence of how you become rich and then even richer. They violate the very core of what you say there and yet you blame the little man for trying not to have to give everything he has to the rich man who is not happy with all the stuff he already has.
