On behalf of liberals everywhere, please stop.
Despite your ostensible concern, you never really had helped us, and given your proclivity for guised fiction and relentless self-aggrandizement, sometimes I wonder if you are a closet conservative.
One of those times is finding out that your conclusion in your new film Capitalism: A Love Story is that “Capitalism is evil, and you cannot regulate evil. You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.”
I know you dropped out of college, but I am imagine you had a high school civics class where you learned the types of economic systems and political systems and the distinctions between them; “capitalism” is an economic system and “democracy” is a political system. You’re engaging in reductionism here, and it sounds rather similar to John Edwards on his “Bad Things Are Bad” and “More Bad Things Are Bad” tours two presidential campaigns.
Not to mention that you can’t regulate good either, because, like evil, it is fucking abstract concept. So, until you can handle these not-so-subtle distinctions, can you stop being our Glenn Beck? Because we really do not need a Glenn Beck.
Sincerely,
Alex Litel
