“Financial Influencer Grant Cardone Says He Can Make You A Billionaire. His Investors Claim He Defrauded Them.”

This fucker is trying to establish his evil plan to make billions as an expected standard.
I listened to his audiobook before I knew who he was. I just kept thinking to myself “this guy seems like an out of touch fuckwit.” I couldn’t help but disagree with so much of what he said to the point that I lost any desire to acquire any wealth. I figured I’d rather die poor in a ditch than become anything like this human leech. I’m still a bit dirty that I gave him a couple of dollars for his book but at least I know what I don’t want to be so that’s something I guess
Neofeudalism is the goal of capitalism, always has been.
I feel like the purported capitalism that’s run rampant for centuries is just an extension and rebranding of the OG feudalism. Always thought that.
Very true, been touting this for years. The rich tricked the peasantry into helping them take over the aristocracy. Now we have less legal protections than a medieval serf.
Basically. The original bourgeois fighting against the feudal lords basically changed just enough so that they themselves could become lords, or lord like, with no so much care for anyone below thier own class.
There are significant differences, but yes, in a way. Class conflict has always been at the core of modern human history, and when the bourgeoisie and Proletariat teamed up against the Aristocracy, Capital was transfered from the hands of the microscopically few to the hands of much more. However, this is an incomplete transfer of power, and as Capital consolidates, it trends back to a form of Feudalism.
Yeah, well put. I’m just identifying the underlying class conflict of resource scarcity and power hunger, through all of human history under the guise of any and every governmental system
Very concisely written dude… really nails the way the shifting about happened
You are not alone in believing this.
I used the term “thinly veiled feudalism” in a college paper or three.
I had a history teacher in the late 90s that lapped up every paper I wrote bc within the boundaries of the assignment, I’d be writing about Che instead of Teddy Roosevelt.
You will own nothing and be happy.
imo its more like: You will own nothing and be miserable
Or…perhaps…instead of 100-year mortgages we learn from the French and start separating heads and wealth from the 1% that are trying to own everything so they can rent it to us.
Learn from the French
Seperating heads
Is this real, or satire?
Yes.
It’s a rip from cassette days when there were dire warnings of “Home taping is killing music. And it’s illegal”. There were some concerns about home sewing doing the same thing but even the doom sayers knew it was kind of lame to make too big a stink about. Now it’s more a call to arms to diy.
A real version would use knitting needles instead of bones.
I’m going to sit down with Mom and get a refresher course on sewing. I can make simple stuff.
I have made clothing patterns in Autocad and printed them out on a plotter before. Going to pirate some pants.
You wouldn’t download pants…

You nicknamed your dicklet “needle”?? Whatever floats your boat I guess.
Some of us have humiliation kinks. Don’t shame.
Don’t be such a pants pirate.
Sorry, that was a poor attempt at a joke.
Says literally only you. Relevant username, I see.
Meant to reply to the mom joke. So, yes, relevant username.
I keep saying this, companies want a lifeline to your wallets.
But nobody wants to listen.
Yup, the regularly scheduled amount they want you paying keeps going up.
If this happens…anyone want to be a ter—uh rebel?? silently lights up cocktail
Do you want drastically increased theft? Because that’s how you get drastically increased theft
Yes, they do. They will then increase the punishment saying it’s to discourage more (proven not to work) so they can arrest people for long periods and have their legal slave labor.
they United States Federal government holds the note on my house. I’m paying 1% interest. for 33 years.
it’s a pretty sweet deal.
And how would one accomplish that?
Service guarantees citizenship.
Would you like to hear more?
I know a guy who took that deal in mid 2000.
Wish I would have. At 52, I’d have been retired for 20 years, pulling retirement since then, and fat on benefits. PLUS, working as a government consultant of some sort if I was skilled and chose to do so.
And somehow, people think if you join, you have to pick up an M4 and go fight in a desert. Yeah, those jobs are for people who want them, or are too stupid to do anything else.
You’re still part of the machine, and fuck that. Fuck that military industrial complex.
USDA direct loan. the rates went up this year but they still give a deferment for financial hardship. I think it’s called a 502 or 503 direct loan.
I got a Habitat for Humanity house and mortgage. 0% interest, 0 property taxes. Cost of the home was the cost of purchasing the land and building it.
Keep playing sucker games kids, keep getting suckered, keep bitching.
Or maybe try something?
Grant Cardone? Not even remotely credible, this is a joke.
This is like the 3 article I’ve seen of this douche in the past two weeks spouting off his feudalistic horseshit. This dude wants so bad to be a lord over his minions.
I will kill myself if life ends up this bad.
If you’re already prepared to die, take out a massive summit of the fuckers that have made things so bad while you do it! Put the fear of the people back in them.
No thanks.
Make sure actual innocent people don’t get hurt
You will own nothing and be happy.
I own a nice house and am pissed as fuck about that bullshit. My hypothetical kids, and more importantly the real kids that exist shouldn’t have had the ladder pulled up so they can’t even survive in this bullshit.
You own it, like the mortgage is paid or you rent from the bank still?
Own outright. Paid in full. I just pay taxes and insurance.
It won’t for you, it will for your kids and kids kids
Somebody’s been reading Snow Crash again.
says we might even rent out clothes
With today’s fast fashion churning out clothes with shorter and shorter lifespans combined with our cultural love of replacement over repair, we basically already do.
I mean, any who engages in ‘fast fashion’ deserves to get taken advantage of to the fullest extent possible.
What a bunch of trite just to feel superior to others who are poorer than you.
It’s already begun… https://www.nuuly.com
The thing is, if everyone rents homes, then there will be a ton of political pressure to fix pricing. Of course the system is so broken that there’s no guarantee of real change, but it could happen.
Aww, the peasants are unhappy. Better get the lobbyists on the line again
You’re assuming people won’t vote directly against their interests. This is America lol
That’s why I hedged a lot, because people do all sorts of things, and the status is not quo.
A majority of people should always be renters, and homes should lose value over time if not rehabbed. Until both of those boxes are checked, housing prices will continue to rise.
Why should a majority of people be renters?
Prices are high because of hoarding by land barons and corps while we simply don’t build enough in my opinion.
If not renters, condo (or something like it) owners. We need to build for density and disincentivize house ownership, because demand exceeds supply by such margins that we are unlikely to resolve it any time in the next generation of we only build houses - plus we are contributing to sprawl and the associated externalities.
LA is a warning, not an ideal.
What a load of crap. “if these data points I cherry picked hold to this trend in a straight line forever” blah, blah, blah. By the way, buy my book
