Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • That’s why the “hustling culture” is so important and prevalent in our society right now.
    Everyone “knows” someone that made bank with either youtube, selling some pyramid-scheme product, bitcoins, some collectibles, craft beer, lottery… you name it.

    Social media (and before that was TV) is selling us the idea that there’s a shortcut to becoming rich, you just need to find it, hustle, and you will become one of the rich persons.

    That’s also why there’s so much cult of wealth and billionaires.

    That said, a large portion of Millennials and after them have a rather negative view of billionaires and are rather skeptical of becoming rich, or even becoming home owners.




















  • As I mention above, the central power in SA needs us to keep other regional powers at check and the Wahhabi in power.

    Even if government officials where involved on the attacks, that would be against the direct interests of the Saudi Crown.

    In all cases, 9/11 was stated by the perpetrators to be used as an attempt to take the US out of SA (sacred land for Muslims) and every one had allegiances with either the Muslim Brotherhood (and through it Iran), Al Qaeda or, like in Bin Laden’s case, both.

    This guy though fell from grace and started his campaign against the US during the Iraqi invasion, when the king and government decided that his plan of fighting with faith wasn’t as sensible as US tanks and planes.

    In fact he tried to convince the Saudi scholars to issue a fatwa against the US deployment, but they preferred to keep their necks.

    What I’m trying to say is, the SA government is a cruel, despotic and brutal regime but had little to no benefit from aiding in 9/11. Did they fuck up? I guess royally so, but I don’t see why would bite our hand.

    Then again, I know nothing…
