RE: Joseph Stiglitz Calls For The Use Of Violence Against Peaceful Bitcoin Users On State Propaganda TV

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Unfortunately, i did have a look at the video... :( I recently posted this, but for someone who is as you said Nobel prize, i don't have to say nothing about violence, economy or whatever... Just would love to live a day, where he could ever read this, live on tv:

"To be GOVERNED is to be kept in sight, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction, noted, registered, enrolled, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, squeezed, mystified, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, despised, harassed, tracked, abused, clubbed, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and, to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.
P.J. Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution in the 19th Century,
(Translation: John Beverley Robinson)
London: Freedom Press, 1923, page 294."

It's a good lesson for an old timer like himself, since he probably skipped the school or parenting period where you do create characted and basic values :)

As always, lovely post Jeff :)

Cheers,
