I saw this on a Zeitgeist thread on YouTube:

"I want to start a revolution. If I could get together at least 2-3 million people, we would make it happen. People ask me "How will we revolutionize against the bankers and the false government?" I tell them to simply "STOP". And they ask me what do I mean. I say again, "Just STOP". They say "Stop What?".....

STOP EVERYTHING, STOP DRIVING YOUR CAR, STOP GOING TO THE STORE, STOP RIDING THE BUS, STOP GOING TO WORK, STOP GOING TO CHURCH...

We have to force these people to submit to what we want.

What happens when the bankers have no more money circulating? They lose their power. People then tell me "But if we all stopped doing everything, than we would all go to jail." Not if you have such a massive amount of people boycotting at once. They won't have any way of keeping up with us. If we had at least 2 million people boycotting the same way at once, than things would drastically change immediately.

Of coarse it will be hard, but this is necessary for our human civilization.

We have to make sure we gather the necessities such as water and food. Because a boycott as epic as what I'm talking about will be a very long one. And it's the only way we can end this. The bankers and politicians will try and persuade us that we need the monetary system in order to thrive and they will try to persuade through the media. Church preachers and the like will try their hardest to keep people going to church so they will stimulate your faith. But you have to break away from it!!"

My response:

"True that the people who join in your boycott wouldn't end up in jail, but they would end up unemployed and homeless, and far worse off than the bankers and government. The "authorities" would get by just fine on the hundreds of millions of people who didn't join in your boycott. The people who would get the short end of it are the 2-3 million who joined in on it. I can't see what would be gained from it. "

If 2 to 3 million people can just 'stop' things and create a revolution then 20 million hippies should have done the same thing, but they didn't.

According to "three", he would need 70 million supporters, not 2-3.

Then he would be asking about 4 major US cities to stop at once, in one country to have an impact, that would have an economic impact, but look at the statistics of people who would be happy to get their jobs.

There are 300+ million people in the USA it would only be less than a quarter of the population joining in.

It would just be a switch of positions of unemployed to being employed and vice versa, there is no time for moral compass in the world of business, the world wont stop because a few million neo hippies want to do nothing.

It would only fuck up the USA, the rest of us would get by while the USA struggled a little bit for a short while.

Again worldwide it would have no impact, particularly if they were all dotted about everywhere.

Do Zeitgeist people have imaginary conversations with themselves all the time?

Wouldn't it be something if all Zeitgeist members were really just different personalities of Merola?
