Some idiot is inspired by TZM to run away and live in a tree, while his dad dies at home.

Level: 6 CS Original | Jeez, that's weird. Caught the story on BBC a couple of days ago and didn't think much about it. | |||||

Brainwashing you for money Level: 15 CS Original | Zeitards have tried to defend their cult from this news item by dissecting the negatives of the mainstream media and how it got zeitgeist wrong in this . Instead of looking at how their ideology has a negative overall impact on impressionable minds such as this young lad. They don't seem to give a shit that this follower of their squad was paranoid, delusional and ran away from the security of his parents. Nor do they acknowledge the impact their beliefs even had on him at all, they ignore all that and just argue the small points of how the article got a few minor things wrong or painted the movement badly. | |||||

Level: 6 CS Original | It would've been easy for them to embrace it, though. Their philosophy is based on the idea of the political individual, which they've taken from Krishnamurti ("It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"), but which is also accessible through Neo-Marxism in one interpretation of Adorno's "Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im Falschen" ("Wrong life cannot be lived rightly"). Following the notion, recognizing the "system" for what it is makes you unable to lead a decent life in it - unless you become active yourself. This, TZM obviously has not managed to do, leaving some of their members in a deep state of expectancy and despair, as some of these news stories have shown. | |||||

Brainwashing you for money Level: 15 CS Original | For instance take a look at how this zeitard looks at the article through skewed perspective: http://www.thezeitgeistmovementuk.com/forest-boy?fb_ref=.T97tx6ldOYU.like&fb_source=timeline Insisting that the article merely was written to discredit the movement. You get the feeling that they don't empathise with people who bring bad publicity towards their movement at all, even if it may well be through no fault of their own. Circumstances, being picked up by local news items, or whatever. | |||||

Bacon Pancakes! Making Bacon Pancakes, take some Bacon and I'll put it in a Pancake! Bacon Pancakes that's what it's gonna make...Bacon Pancaaaaaake!! ♪ Level: 3 | TZM is not "far-left". Excuse me while I stop reading for a bit to laugh. I noticed that any time these fuck wads make a position, and then you tell them why that's a total failure of an idea they always respond that that's not what they advocate. Every other commenter on my TZM isn't anarchy video was saying either "TZM is anarchy, you're quote mining Fresco and Merola" or "TZM was never pro anarchy, I've never heard of VTV so he must be a nobody in the movement" Seriously you can join TZM and say your for anything so long as it's not too outrageous or involve money. But the instant you make the headlines for being a douchebag, then you're not a member because you didn't totally agree with their totally ambiguous ideology. | |||||

Bacon Pancakes! Making Bacon Pancakes, take some Bacon and I'll put it in a Pancake! Bacon Pancakes that's what it's gonna make...Bacon Pancaaaaaake!! ♪ Level: 3 | "Try and vote for us - go on! You won't have much luck. It's like trying to define invisibility on the colour spectrum." OK! As for the assertion that we aim to "destroy" market capitalism (from the sub-headline, no less.) The author knows what he's doing here - this is a weasel word designed to make you think that this organisation is some out of control violent threat to humanity. Mr. Kill Money must not be a member either. That and pandering to your right-wing audience, of course. Not that we're on the left, but you're on the right so that makes you wrong. *rolls eyes* Yea, I'm done reading this now. Everything it says it's just on it's face retarded. | |||||
