Because the only people smug enough to call intellectuals hippies are Republicans.

the smug intellectuals oppose capitalism. Real intellectuals see that morals are realitive, people should be exploited, and they should take advantage of peoples stupidity.

I use to be against capitalism, but now I'm seeing that if you let capitalism work out, with some fair business laws, fair union laws, everyone is alot happier and richer.

"Capitalism" the way it is put into practice in the U.S. (or anywhere, for that matter) is not the same thing as a true "free market/laissez faire economy."

The "fair business laws" and "fair union laws" that >>5 speaks of wouldn't exist in a true free market/laissez faire economy.

If one can't survive under capitalistic system one should kill himself for being ultimate failure. Getting job ain't so hard and there are even ways how you can live without doing anything.

there's a reason YOU'RE not in the salt mines right now, and let me tell you, it isn't laissez-faire.

Yes it is. If it wasn't for people fighting despotism for their right to economic autonomy we wouldn't have the technology to mine for salt. If it wasn't for laissez-faire economics we'd be so heavily taxed and the economy so stagnant we'd have to labour 6 hours to pay our taxes and a further 8 hours to earn enough so our families can just barely keep from starving to death.

stop mixing french class names with japanese class names fucktard. Use Bourgeois or Petite-Bourgeois. Or better yet, use upper class, upper-middle class, lower-middle class, working class, and lower class.

Shinji doesn't mean male teenager, shinji is an emo character from evangelion who does nothing but whine philosophically. He doesn't actually cover any grounds or any complex concepts, he just whines about the obvious, it could all be abbreviated to "waaah, why don't people like me, why are people so mean, why isn't life perfect, why can't i get everything I want? waaaah haaah aaaaaaaah".
Don't change these.
