The American Myth


This is an excellent, excellent short film. But I would add one caveat. I would not label "Predatory Capitalism" as the evil. As I said in "Collapse", "Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism are all old and archaic constructs because all of them assume infinite resources." Predatory Capitalism -- in the age of plentiful resources -- was merely the most-effective means to loot, control, and maximize profits.

Replace "predatory capitalism" with "infinite growth" and this film paints a picture that only honorable men and women can see completely. For it is only from a place of honor, obligated to see the whole truth, that one can appreciate the full horror of what human industrial civilization has accomplished. -- MCR
