Gottfried Feder, Manifesto for the Breaking of the Financial Slavery to Interest
Gottfried Feder, The German State on a National and Socialist Foundation
https://www.counter-currents.com/2012/11/two-volumes-by-gottfried-feder/

>Mammonism is the unlimited hypertrophy of the — in itself healthy — human drive for acquisition. Mammonism is the lust for money grown into a madness, which knows no higher goal than to pile money on top of money, which seeks with unequaled brutality to coerce all forces of the world into its service, and must lead to the economic enslavement, to the exploitation of the work-potential of all peoples of the world.

>Mammonism is the sinister, invisible, mysterious reign of the great international money-powers. Mammonism is however also a mindset; it is the worship of these money-powers on the part of all those who are infected with the Mammonistic poison.

>Mammonism is the heavy, all-encompassing and overwhelming sickness from which our contemporary cultural sphere, and indeed all mankind, suffers. It is like a devastating illness, like a devouring poison that has gripped the peoples of the world.

>This [mammonist] mindset is embodied and reaches its acme in international plutocracy. The chief source of power for Mammonism is the effortless and endless income that is produced through interest.

>The only cure, the radical means to heal suffering humanity is the abolition of enslavement to interest on money.

>The abolition of enslavement to interest on money signifies the only possible and conclusive liberation of productive labor from the hidden coercive money-powers.

>The abolition of enslavement to interest signifies the restoration of the free personality, the redemption of man from slavery, from the curse whereby Mammonism has bound his soul.

>All state revenues flowing from direct and indirect sources pour constantly into the pockets of big loan-capital.

>All of our tax-legislation is and remains, so long as we do not have liberation from enslavement to interest, only a tribute-obligation to big capital, and not, as we would imagine, a voluntary sacrifice for the accomplishment of labor for the community.

What is there to explain? People have been raised to believe that hard work and entreprenurial spirit are all it takes to get so rich that you can buy a jet. And then they point the handful of cases where some guy became a millionaire reselling sneakers or whatever and act like that's proof of anything other than luck, or that it's a good thing that someone can get rich by gambling with shoes. "Hustle" influencers aren't rich because they made something new or provide a useful service. They're rich from savvy social media use, and poor retards get a rush from seeing some young guy in a lambo and mistakenly think that it could one day be them.

Do you dare to discover what you're truly capable of?

THE NINE LAWS is your living manual of power, distilled for you by the man who was forced to build it to survive. The author forged this system over decades of cruel experience. It began with profound trauma in early childhood, shaped itself during long training in the eastern warrior arts, and was polished amidst financial industry competition and family crisis. Master this content, and deliver yourself to a place that few men ever reach: joyous mastery of your own fate.

This book is not for the uncertain or the timid. THE NINE LAWS is designed for men who are acutely aware that one lifetime is all they have to pursue and achieve their sacred purpose. Far more than a mere self-help book, or a simple collection of advice and ideas, THE NINE LAWS is a gravely serious operating system for success in a dark world.

Read it. Train it. Live it. Survive the dark world with momentous ferocity, and triumph.

No one does this. The kind of wealthy people who own private jets are often so devoted to work that they use the jet almost exclusively to outpace standard commercial jets, or because they fly often and want to be comfortable, or because they work while flying and need/want privacy. The idea of "Oh I'm going to become a billionaire and buy a jet and go to beaches everywhere and snort coke" is a thing that only exists in the minds of low-income people. And most rich people probably borrow private jets from each other anyway. I know a guy with a net worth of a few hundred million who talks about taking "his" private jet and it's literally just Steve Jobs' widow's jet. Why would you ever shell out the thousands and thousands in fuel expenses and paying pilots when you can just say "Hey John, I've got a business trip to Hong Kong and I need to review my slides on the way there, are you using the jet on the 25th?"

Note that merchants/businessmen are at the lowest point. That's in part because they didn't produce anything. Sure, you could have merchants who were richer than samurai, but the overall point is that being a merchant is a low societal position to be at.

>TL'DR: Hustlers are cringe because they aim to become like the new money who lack authenticity and refined taste unlike the old money

The nouveau riche (first generation rich) are very cringe in general and these hustlers aim to become like them in terms of finances because mentally, they are already very much alike.
So why are nouveau rich so cringe? Well in short, they lack class. They grew up poor and thus didn't develop a sense of refined taste. Once they become rich, they act like a kid in a candy store if you gave him $100. They start splashing the cash on flashy shit like fluorescent lambos and designer clothing to make the statement "FUCK YES, I'M SO RICH!" and improve their social status which is typical of their hedonistic nature.
In contrast, the vieux riche (multi-generational rich) grew up surrounded by wealth and thus became accustomed to it. They also have a better education which ends up in better manners. For instance, they don't like to buy anything too flashy to state how wealthy they are. It's agreed that to be old money, the wealth must be inherited across 5 generations. Usually, the wealth is lost within 3 and sometimes even 2 if you don't educate your children well enough.

False.

There is so much work to be had in the blue collar field that it would make your goddamn head spin.

Don't believe me? If you are a handyman, right now in SLC,UT, you can easily charge 25/hour starting out. And that is grunt level skill.

If you can take responsibility for the work that you do, you can turn thousands of dollars on changing out outlets and painting rooms.

Case and mother fucking point. My step-bro and I started a business like four years ago. I get to sit back and cash checks while he (20yr old) goes out an makes a fool of himself. I keep telling him that he'd make more money helping me run the office, but he delights in being out in the bluecollar work.

Anyway, you don't have to "invent new markets" and you don't into "abstract economy." You simply have to say that you can do stuff, agree to do stuff for money, and then do what you said you would do. Rinse and repeat.

With that wage, each year of work can buy you multiple years without needing another job or you could build up your investments to retire very early.

You just have to tighten your expenses. If you save 25k a year for 5 years, with a 8% annual return from investing it, you would have a 200k nest egg which annual return should always give you enough for food and basic housing. 15 years and you would have 800k.

Not him but that's nothing. I would be over 40 years old and it's not worth slaving away my prime for a pay off of only 800k in the very distant future which as you posit it would be penalized to access then were it in an IRA or 401k. You also mentioned nothing of SSDI associated penalty avoidance (no early withdrawal penalty) or using that as a means to get an additional $3000 a month or so for the rest of your days which would be easily done as a handyman/contractor. Sure, then it might be worth it WITH ssdi and be enough to give you a comfy life but I still maintain the sacrifice of those golden years would not have been worth it, especially considering the imminence of death looming. You're honestly better off taking that money and blowing it on lottery tickets.

Behind the hyperpositivity and wild fantasies of achievement is a vicious, guilt obsession-- a hypernegativity. That anyone can achieve anything in a matter of years means that if you have not fulfilled all of your financial and personal goals, you are a failure. Every problem, macroeconomic or structural, becomes reduced to you not believing enough, to you not willing to do what it takes to succeed. "Doing what it takes" usually means spending your last cent on a day-trading brokerage scam, or on a self-help seminar. You are trapped in an abuse spiral where your failures are blamed on not believing enough, to demonstrate belief you buy useless self-help advise, and when this scam advise does not make you any richer, you blame your failures on not believing enough, and open your wallet again and again until you hang yourself. This is the behaviour of a cult. You are so averse to this "hustle" shit, because it's an abuse, scamming cult.

What is so sweetly enticing about that kool-aid is it implies information rather than material factors are the cause of wealth. All of these hustle guys try to sell you some sort of trick, some secret or hidden knowledge that "they" (the eternal they) are keeping from you. This coincides with the phenomena of underachievers in tests of conventional knowledge compensating by becoming experts in "hidden knowledge" (mbti. astrology, esotericism, conspiracy theory). They may be a HS dropout stoner, but they know the secret of how "the world really works", the secret knowledge they can use to elevate themselves over their high achieving peers. This makes hustler fanboys insufferable, because they are so arrogant, and believe they are smarter than everyone else in the room--despite having no education or wealth to show for it.

They are all looking for the secret trick, the nugget of information they can use to "outsmart the system". This obsession with tricks and secrets reveals the bait at the heart of it, which sends people into the cult: pay gatekeepers for knowledge rather than invest in yourself. Don't get a degree in finance, pay a scammer to reveal the "secrets" of knowledge instead from the comfort of your own home! The obsession with "gaming/outsmarting the system" is apparent in cryptos also. Crypto scammers shill their own coins by telling you that you can outsmart the system, become a shitcoin millionaire, and so on.

Laziness and desperation hook people into what becomes a cult. Your instinctual aversion to it is the same response as when JW/Scientologists knock on your door.

I don't know why you think that you're better than them. You're just a lonely human living in a world you've made for yourself, inventing questions and answering them just to make yourself feel better.
Philosophy? Spirituality? It's just a sophisticated way of justifying your own prejudices and beliefs.

Let's say you make this whole logical argument, like you solve a math problem. At the end, what is it that makes you decide that you were correct? Logic? Of course not.
Just a feeling. You feel "this makes sense", "I was thorough enough", "this is sufficient". But like with any math problem, you could just do it again and perhaps realize you've made a mistake.

These people are so focused on their image and how they compare to others that they miss the woods for the trees. They legitimately believe that they are one step away from the next big idea, the big break that will lead them to the private jet and pacific island of their dreams.
Most of them never accept the fact that actual wealth is achieved through hard work and soulless self-sacrifice towards the acquisition of capital. Even those entrepreneurs that they uplift to almost mythical status spent the vast majority of every single day in the pursuit of wealth through the capitalistic method.
Hustlers will never be successful because they can never be like those entrepreneur types; and they lack the willpower to slowly accumulate over decades. This is reflected by their image, in that they pay so much attention to it that their priorities are clearly visible - they are merely imitating the habits of successful people without imbibing them. They themselves will say: "YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT", but fail to do so themselves. Instead, buried under stacks of get-rich-quick books and bitesize instagram-worthy hustler maxims, they will spend months or even years entertaining this desperate cope, making sure to catalogue every step of their hopeless journey.

This reminds me of Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han. Society has moved beyond a Foucaultian disciplinary society to an achievement society, moving from Should to Can and from obedience-subjects to achievement-subjects. The unrelenting stress on positivity, "hustle", productivity, erases and crowds out spaces for regenerative negativity (depressive realism), contemplation, and contented equilibrium. Bidden to always exceed oneself, to gain more, to become ever successful, the middle class aspirant or social climber becomes intensely self-competitive and self-critical. They are in the thrall of a "compulsive freedom" a freedom which is strangely restricting, because it entails tireless upward climbing and careerist maneuvering. They are reduced to animalistic "multitaskers" spread over a fragmented array of stimuli, information sources, and priorities. Rest and repose are abolished, and a cult of activity replaces it. Han therefore posits a "violence of the Same" and an exclusion of the Other,
> Such violence of positivity is clearly what Baudrillard has in mind when he writes, "He who lives by the Same shall die by the Same."Likewise, Baudrillard speaks of the "obesity of all current systems" of information, communication, and production. Fat does not provoke an immune reaction

There is a certain "fatness" to this workaholic, striving culture in that it does not provoke an immune reaction, like some foreign virus afflicting us, but instead asserts a brutal and unyielding positivity, leading to stress, exhaustion, restlessness, impatience, mania and ultimately, burnout.

That is, alas, both the beauty the horror of capitalism. It may seem like a crime that useless goldbricks such as Kylie Jenner can make hundreds of millions of dollars taking selfies, while others are driven to bankruptcy from the hospital bills from a car accident. But that means you, too, theoretically could make money for nothing.

The ephemeral digital economy rewards whatever draws attention. It just turns out that physical attractiveness is a "freebie" in this regard, and if you're hot enough you can basically make money just by posting yourself on social media. Ugly as it is on a moral level, late capitalism also affords many such opportunities for the useless to strike it rich.

This is a rather rosy estimation of what humans would get up to in a world without marketing. Marketing and advertising serve only amplify and crystalize what people already desire - they don't create new markets.

Wealth is g-loaded. If you're poor and complaining about hustlers and rich normies, chances are you're just stupid.

Hustlers are generally stupid too, I've noticed that a lot of "lifestyle coaches" are members of low-IQ races (black, brown). It's essentially the same mechanism as a cargo cult, the primitive sees the man with many possessions and mimics the outward behaviours in an attempt to obtain the same for himself, without understanding the underlying causes.

>>16164662
My parents specifically didnt want to send me to a private school; only when we moved (for parents Job) to a 2nd world shithole country they saw the need for a private school.
We played sport tournaments against other international schools and it was so awesome to go to all the international schools around Europe where the entrance or main building was a Villa from olden days and all the facilities were brand new and the sport pitches were at the professional level.
The difference in ambition is also great. Most international school football teams would still consistently beat the lower class public school teams just because they didnt have their cohesion and professional mindest.
>>16157962
What your first reply said.
It is more about having a house in outside DC a vacation home somewhere on the shore and buying a new car every other year to replace one of the old ones and the lack of worry the other anons seem to be seething about.
Id say the house my uncle has that is in the country side fits a lot more the standard of a mansion or villa with multiple garages, pool, multiple acres, etc. , but it unironically wouldnt be worth more.
All the private jets and absolute mansions in a close suburb are either people living from credit card debt (even if they can pay it off), people being very wasteful or true millionaires with millions in the middle to higher double digits.

>The obsession with "gaming/outsmarting the system" is apparent in cryptos also. Crypto scammers shill their own coins by telling you that you can outsmart the system, become a shitcoin millionaire, and so on.

I have been involved in crypto since May 2017 (I knew BTC since 2012 but didn't care much for it at the time) and this is very true. In fact, crypto attracts the most people described in this post because they assume they can easily get rich. In part it's true because had you listen to /biz/ and bought chainlink between $0.10 and $0.50 you could have a made very good money but for every chainlink, there are hundreds of bitconnects. Honestly I have gambled in horse racing and investing in crypto doesn't feel very different from that. You are just picking a horse and hope it wins. That's it. What's what investing in crypto is like. The only way to make money in this scam infested shithole of a market is to leverage trade BTC and even then, exchanges like Bitmex will trade against their customers and liquidate you.

>Reminder that the idea of people wanting Hell is not (only) a metaphor or Eschatological fancy, but literally descriptive. That one would deny his self-identity of being free, knowing, whole, and instead live to work thinking himself bound, dim, lacking due to this or that, blaspheming against the Spirit, and worse still mimic the initial identity through his degradation, only to ultimately see God and succumb to terminal grief of a life wasted for nothing.
