## Log

A couple of weeks ago I watched the movie [The Big Short](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596363) again. It had been a
|
2022-10-23 16:32:17 +02:00
|
|
|
long time since I last watched it and I believe I appreciated it much more this time. The movie does a great job of
|
|
|
|
|
covering the [unethical behaviour of the current financial oligopoly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A25EUhZGBws), the
|
2022-10-06 19:36:12 +02:00
|
|
|
complicity of [regulators](https://youtu.be/KttoNAiuwRk?t=70)
|
|
|
|
|
and [rating agencies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xZx1lf2tvs),
|
|
|
|
|
the [ignorance of the common folks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZTFNizSNGs) and just how rigged the game
|
2022-10-23 16:32:17 +02:00
|
|
|
is. [The final scene with Mark Baum surrendering](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu2wNKlVRzE) is a sad portrait of how
|
|
|
|
|
impossible it is to change things from the inside, hence why we need to [opt-out](https://youtu.be/FyK4P7ZdOK8? t=801).
|

|
|
|
It's a great reminder of why we are here. Came for the greed, stayed for the freedom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I also had the pleasure of watching the movie with a no-coiner who isn't particularly financially literate. We took it
|
|
|
|
|
slow and stopped the movie whenever it was necessary to better explain the ins and outs of what was going on. It was a
|
|
|
|
|
great way to do a bit of sparring in terms of describing the issues with the current financial system in simple ways.
|
|
|
|
|
Ideas such as how the ratings are bullshit, how banking licenses like ISDA keep us
|
|
|
|
|
outside [the big club](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKUaqFzZLxU), how banks are filled with characters like Vennett
|
|
|
|
|
and Chau who don't give a flying fuck about anything but their bonuses. After the movie ended, the no-coiner, in total
|
|
|
|
|
shock and anger, asked me: "Why did no one explain this to us back then? Why am I finding out more than a decade after
|
|
|
|
|
that all of this happened?". The attitude was a great, fertile soil for orange pilling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I knew the mission had been a success when the same person messaged me a few days later regarding the Bank of England's
|
|
|
|
|
intervention of the gilt market. Angry as hell once more, he asked: "This is the same stuff as in the movie right? The
|
|
|
|
|
bankers are getting the bailout and we will all pay for it?".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I encourage everyone to be grateful that now we have an option to opt-out and middlefinger the central bankers and
|
|
|
|
|
their cronies. Unlike when the Great Financial Crisis took place, this time you are not doomed to simply watch how you
|
|
|
|
|
get fucked in the ass. Will you simply watch again? Or will you step up and fight back?
