Deej: The truth, critical thinking, and final argument.

I have watched this video in its entirety. I realize it is long, but unlike pro Destiny/Activision rhetoric, the truth is a little more complex, and you not taking the time to understand what is going on is what they are counting on. What we have here is the ultimate anti-fanboi argument. Contained in this video is every thing we critical thinkers have been trying to express, only to be freight trained by the deluded masses. The masses: those of us who have successfully been indoctrinated by the [b]Lord of Profiteering[/b]: Activision. Why do people persist in defending what has taken place here? It could simply be lack of intelligence or the ability to critically think, but more likely it is pride: The fanboi ego cannot admit to the truths in this video, it has gone too far for him, in his mind there is no way back. Humility is not a word in his vernacular. In a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we are brainwashed via corporately owned news outlets (see: Fox News, any Murdoch newspaper) to blame each other for the situation instead of looking at those in power, those with the wealth controlling every thing. Profit is increasingly becoming a dirty word. Or at least it should be. To all the nay sayers, i give you this: You have been conditioned to disagree with the rhetoric you see here. They have achieved this because they are smarter than you. Swallow your pride and open your mind. It is time to become a critical thinker, not just a consumer, with 2D personality. For a better understanding of how corporations have become so powerful Government cannot control them, and how they are shafting us in every market we participate in, i recommend a Youtube channel called "The Trews" by a critical thinker called Russel Brand (previously a comedian). Profit has now fully infected the games market, that is why $500 million buys us a gutted husk of a game such as Destiny, Watchdogs, Titanfall and others. To Deej i say (as he is apparently reading all this): please let your bosses know that we [i]know[/i] what occurred here. [b]EDIT 1:[/b] To those saying i jumped on some sort of bandwagon with this video, here i link my previous thread, some weeks old, in which i make a weak effort in tackling this subject: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71096924/0/0 [b]EDIT 2:[/b] It's a tough challenge, trying to protect people who fight to defend the system hurting them. [b]EDIT 3: [/b]All big business is owned by the 1%. And thusly they don't care where you spend your money, as long as you do. The power of consumer choice is a lie. Pick up your Destiny box and read the back, it literally says "rich cinematic story telling". Can you see the problem there? [b]EDIT 4:[/b] Best insult received: "Also, I find your username hilariously perfect. Do you refer to your house as "The Superiority Complex"?" lel [b]Final Edit:[/b] I have just read the details of The Dark Below, and it will not fix the inherent failures of this game. They are pushing forward with this hacked up iteration of Destiny. They sold us one game, delivered another, and for better or for worse this is it now. It is a game aimed at the 12yr olds, the CoD generation, and I am out. I will boost friends in the raid only until I can trade this in for GTA V. See you Manhattan-side for The Divison, Guardians!

    "In a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we are brainwashed via corporately owned news outlets (see: Fox News, any Murdoch newspaper) to blame each other for the situation instead of looking at those in power, those with the wealth cotrolling every thing. Profit is increasingly becoming a dirty word. Or at least it should be." Oh-My-Blam!ing-God... *sigh* You, my dear friend, are brainwashed. You damn well better look towards those in power. Because those Big Government Liberals in power are brainwashing people to hate the current economic system. All the while passing Socialist policies and blaming their failure on our Capitalist system! However, when you demonize corporations and businesses that is what causes the poor to get poorer! They supply the jobs and if you don't like how the operate, you change it! Because the worker has the power to not work and the consumer has the power to not buy! I'm so sick of this BS where liberals scream "Fox News! Fox News! Fox News!" "It is time to become a critical thinker..." Lad... You need to practice what you preach. "The power of consumer choice is a lie." Laughable. Tell that to the poor families of the early 1900s that formed unions in protest of their bosses. They got what they wanted. They got fairer wages and better working conditions because they chose to do something. "For a better understanding of how corporations have become so powerful Government cannot control them..." You seriously believe that the government ought to control corporations instead of the private sector? You do realize that you just said that you want the rule of the few to lord over our businesses? P.S. Russel Brand is a piece of hypocritical garbage! He disses the system that brought him his own economic prosperity. What a joke. You want a source of real facts look up Bill Whittle on the "PJ Media" channel on YouTube. I've debated many like you. You're all the same. Edit: Sense when did they replace common sense with "critical thinking?"
