In the beginning it wasn't the father's message... it was the delivery that made it sinister. When Jimmy hit 20 he should have told his dad to shove it. Even Ren admits to his place in the game... but it's about balance and about lines crossed. Ren talked about the cut because of the water. The only big flaw in the water scene... apparently one of the hoses split or turned and the poor girl on the left is getting wet. She was a trooper... knowing they only had 1 take she didn't flinch.

The father also screwed up in defining it as 'wants'. Putting desires over simple needs being met. Contributing to the consumer mindset of 'I want'.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, fun fact: I watched an interview with Ren's buddy/director, Sam, earlier today. The 1911 was a very expensive prop, and since they don't sell the 1911 in U.K., it's a replica that uses an 8mm mag with prop 8mm rounds. Ren knew his American and other fans would recognize the difference between a .45cal and 8mm when loading the mag in that one scene, so there is someone just out of frame, that hands him a real .45mag and rounds, just for the quick zoom in of him loading it, then as his hands and mag are out frame for a quick couple seconds they switch back to the 8mm mag that will fit in the prop gun!

It is not about money, but about Greed. In contradiction to the popular Wolf of Wallstreet believe, greed is bad! Money is neutral, but greed is not.

They had to cut before the rain part... Ren only had the one suit!! He is doing this 100% independent! I think even the warehouse space was a donation.. but only available for 2 days! So they had to set up, run through and film in that shory time frame!

I think the cut was mainly done to cover up the microphone, as those things are not waterproof. It needs to hang out when he's walking around to get the sound quality they have, but needs to be covered as he's sitting in the rain, rain,rain, rain...

Yup. Not a pure one-take. However, they could only do the rain scene once and the water would have been problematic; limited time and the water would not have dried quick enough. They moved the lapel mic to the center of his red tie and tried to waterproof it to an extent. Loved your comment "no one in the US is telling you to go overboard and deal in weapons and drugs". LOL that was right before Ren said "It's and exagerated version of me". That was my thought at that point and I love how Ren uses the story to reflect on each of us to whatever extent. OK writing more here. You said it was more about the shitty Dad. I agree 100%. It is certainly about greed, but it is the father's greed and his pushing the son for more more more. It is how we raise our children in general. I just knew from the title of yoru reaction you would state what you did. Thanks Ernest.

The most interesting thing about this is how thought provoking this subject is. No one is wrong here. All of the viewpoints can be true. Poor parenting is a big factor. A boy seeking a fathers approval is a big deal and can affect the actions of a person. I have heard Ren say he is not against capitalism. He also doesn't have all the answers. However a conversation is the strongest thing that can come of this peice.

Good reaction, but in my mind. In the end he killed his ego that's why his dad said it's such a shame, because ego is what corrupts. Just a thought! + new sub ❤❤from the UK 🇬🇧

Oh god it is a masterpiece

Ren is Iconic..

But you would be that father if you had carried on commenting like you did at the beginning. Your words "I didn't see anything wrong with this" Then you realised the way the song was going. Then you blamed the whole thing on the dad. Even after ren had said about teaching our kids, go for the money like be sheep....😊and put themselves before the herd. It had nothing really to do with the dad. It was more about the argument in favour of capitalism, whilst turning a blind eye to what we see around us. Tent cities of the homeless, for instance. You managed to be exactly what Ren was talking about.

While the commentary is certainly his criticism of capitalism it is ALSO a commentary about a son seeking his father's approval and how he's never good enough. There's always another level to ascend to in his father's eyes. And when his father dies, he realizes he'll never get the approval he sought. And his life falls apart and he realizes he spent his life in pursuit of something unattainable and false, the approval of someone else. He didn't live his life for himself. And that realization undoes him.

@@vanburger I listen on multiple levels. That's what's amusing me about this. I hear the critique of capitalism. That's the obvious theme in my opinion. But it's told through a personal story of Jimmy's life and his relationship with his father. Its a warning on several levels. Of the consequence of how you live your life, to what purpose and goals and ambitions. Whether that's the approval of your father, or the pursuit of wealth and success. I get it, your focused on the message because you came expecting the message. I'm simply stating there are other layers to it is all. I'm more pursuaded by the relationship and choices and consequences Jimmy made with his life more than I am a general warning about wealth and capitalism.

Yes that was the only cut. Ren had only one shot to do the rain scene and wanted to make sure it was right.

Yes that cut had to me made to be sure of the distance and set up of the strings so as not to get their instruments wet and Ren only had 1 suit so no time to dry everything and try again! This had to be perfect for obvious reasons. He still had to replace the bow ffor the 🎻 on the left because it did get wet!

Great perspective. Always enjoys your logic in your reactions.

this shit fuckin crazy. One take video for a 9 minute song performed live on the spot. Ren really a different breed😂😂

Yes there was a cut at wheelchair. Ren only had one suit and they had to waterproof his mic. Had one chance for 2nd shot. They worked hard so water would only rain on him. To my understanding unfortunately they did wind up having pay one of the musicians for geting instrument wet tho

Yes they did. He said so. They couldn’t miss that water scene

True with cut... Ren himself said it was a 2 take...

What America do you live in? Abundance, and over indulgence, is CONSTANTLY pushed as the American dream in music, movies, news, etc. yeah it doesn’t say to “push heroin” but over indulgence might as well be America’s motto

This reaction is the perfect example why I personally have been a sub for so long, and why you're top tier when it comes to reaction channels, or content creators period, let me tell you why....I'm a rabid anti-capitalist Ansoc, and seeing your past videos on other issues, you n I, having a socioeconomic discussion would probably see eye to eye on most social issues, but boy oh boy would we butt heads on economic ones. And don't worry I didn't stop by to throw shade or argue about our very different views, I came by because I could tell from the get go, the anti-capitalist, "money is the root of all evil" nature of the song isn't your bag, at all, not sure if you really liked the undertones of it being like a Broadway Musical or play. Regardless, you noted your disagreements and pushed back a little on a few things, but you did it respectfully, confidently and intelligently, where I know there are some that would just start regurgitating old talking points, or bring the left/right paradigm into it, and drag the whole reaction down in the gutter.

IF YOU CANNOT SEE THAT THIS COMMENT IS VERY LONG, I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH A WARNING.. I don't know what an Ansoc is, although I feel almost sure it must be an acronym for a something-socialist? And I am not even certain it's relevant. It really actually is not. Because my point is that it is just so freaking rare lately to see •anyone• of any political, social or economic stripe who is willing to be respectful of those with different p.s o.v. and who is capable of handling disagreement with their own positions. I don't know when exactly we arrived here. It could be as easy as saying 'when Twitter came online' or when we ceased declaring our perspectives in person at the feed store or the barber shop or the salon, and began writing a little mini-bio of ourselves and then copy-and-pasting that into every apps' shape or format online. The thing about that is that I think it starts with convincing ourselves of our little elevator spiels. And I think before, when we were in person, at the laundromat or the bus stop or whatever, and we •didn't have• this thing in our hands that consumed every iota of our attention, maybe we conversed more in general with random strangers or neighbors, I know I did, and maybe we were a little •less decided• as to who we were. Now, Im not obliged to greet or even acknowledge your existence if we are seated next to each other on an airplane or bus or subway. So maybe that is why we are willing to sum up all of our myriad nuances so neatly, briefly, succinctly. And then, as I said, we have to affirm continually back to ourselves this fast food version of our backstory/reasons for thinking this or that, our histories, our set of accessible facts, and more than most things, our influences. The other people who said something we agreed with, in a blog or a Ted talk or a documentary or podcast, who, when we were less certain maybe, we found ourselves parroting those same words or thoughts, and now that we are older, maybe we've slightly amended or improved or altered in some way that original kernal to better reflect what we see as our socio-political 'avatar', so to speak, like our photos next to the names we chose for ourselves, of our dogs or our babies or our families or our boats or motorcycles or mountain bikes. It's like we've become soundbytes or blurbs of our former selves, our previous stories. We've adapted to this new world by suddenly deciding definitively everything we were in the process of figuring out before, about us. We realized, somewhere along the TL;DR pathway, that no one will understand any position if it takes too long to watch or read or comprehend. That it's simply rude of us to impose on another's precious time while we fart around trying to figure out what we stand for. I apologize for the unrelated tangent. It really is yourself, your own rarity that inspired me to speculate on the subject in the first place. There is something almost jarring, but in the best way, about stumbling over a human of any persuasion, willing and even happily anticipating finding one who they are fully aware will be countering every one of their beliefs and they are looking forward to it! And not only that, but they then take the time to compliment that person on how well they disagree with them. I feel like this is how we learn and grow. I remember watching an interview with Ren, where he clarifies, in detail, his position on capitalism, which is actually very neutral and somewhat positive. He just thinks that we have taken this exceptional tool and through our excessive greed and apathetic habits of always consuming, gluttonous, never sated, never saying no to any desire (it puts one in mind of the Roman Vomitoriums), we've corrupted it as we tend to do with most useful things. It doesn't really matter what I think but I applaud Ren's talent for inspiring collaboration and learning from each other. (I thought I was going to say collaboration •over competition•, but then I realized how much of a competitive capitalistic thing that would be to say) Anyways, I appreciate anyone who may have taken the time to read this, especially you, OP, or you, Ernest; I happen to disagree with both of your opinions on general economics but I definitely agree with OP's compliment towards you, Ernest, regarding how you managed your own positions that were counter to the song's story, but didn't let that f up your enjoyment of the story being told and the talent it took to tell it. And I also love the way you commended that, original commenter. So thank you both for reassuring me that we can all disagree and still be grateful to be friends at the end of the day.

Then I opened it full screen, and I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised, your response made my whole week!! I'm not sure when it all took a turn, not sure of your age, but I'm a GenX kid, I remember as recently as Dubya Bush being in office, I think then is when social media really started creating some debates and discussions, that spilled into regular social settings. Still though, at that time, I remember being at my favorite watering hole and getting into serious discussions with people, about our preferred politician or a hot button issue, and really go back n forth. But as we were doing so, we still took turns buying each other rounds, and when one of us had to leave, it was a hearty handshake, or maybe a slap on the back with a "see ya next weekend ass face" and we'd both chuckle, ya know. Today you're likely to get shot bringing up certain issues. Also, you used to be able be fore that issue, or support that cause over there, no matter what the political leanings might be of that thing, today every issue has a political bias assigned to it, same with politicians. I remember around 2017, just chattin and posting on my fav social media sites, I got called a Bernie lovin', triggered lefty, in need of a safe space...AND...a red hat wearing, racist, trump cult member within the span of 20min on two separate threads...lol. The one that called me lefty I simply jumped in a debate defending LGBTQ folks right to marry, and on the other one, I was debating pro gun/2A rights. That's when I remembering thinking, cheez n crackers, if you wanna be associated with either party, I guess you must support a certain set of issues, and politicians or you're out!! So I got out. Btw, you were correct, ansoc is anarcho-socialist, or social anarchist they're used interchangeably. I also think though, that people don't pay enough attention to our history, and while things on the surface change, they're really just rebranded issues and problems folks been havin' for years. Things are new, they're not always different, I'd be willing to be that just about every generation going back to biblical times, had a certain amount of people cursing the younger generation and claiming the world is doomed now, these younger folks are a bunch of pussies....lol. I know I've done it before, the older I get though, the more I see the pattern repeat. I really wish we could get back to civil debate in this country, I try to really push for that on a couple local community based social media sites I'm on. Got a lot of hate at first, people saying I'm just being a troll or trying to stir the pot. I'm like well, I'm trying to stir the conversation up, and offer counter points, get you to look at this or that issue in a different light, but if you scroll back through all my other comments, I'm not rude or pushy or judgmental, and while few believe me, I tell them I actually enjoy if someone can prove me wrong or outwit me, not only do I gain knowledge, it's just like anything else, you want to spar with people that are good, to up your own game. At first I was really disheartened by all the negativity I got, but then two things happened, first, I had a couple people PM me and say, thanks for saying that, I feel the same way, but I thought I was the only one, it's so nice to see a like minded person in my community. Second, I had a guy push back so hard, I thought he was gonna be the final straw that got me to quit trying that little social experiment, but I got him to calm down, and pointed out we had a tiny bit of middle ground to work with. That was almost a year ago, we debate/argue stuff all the time, we even meet for coffee once in a while and bark at each other face to face, but we found a way to communicate with each other, and separate the issue, from the person your talking to it about. In fact me and him were just having this conversation, and we actually agreed, I think today when two people are at odds on a certain issue, they automatically assume soooo much about the other person, simply based on their stance on that one issue, that is where me and him think we need to start telling people, the issue is not the person and vice versa. Take care, thanks again for the kind response!!

Slight correction on the quote that EVERYONE misquotes "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." Not the money itself, but the desire for it. Capitalism doesn't teach, or even promote greed, it's just a tool/system; people do that. No tool, resources, culture, government, economic system, or religion is bad, but they are all susceptible to corruption and manipulation by people who are hungry for wealth and power. Those things would happen whether capitalism existed or not, because it's human nature to be that way. That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to not give in to our imperfect nature as humans, but what I'm ultimately saying here is that Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, etc. are not the problem, we are; and I think that's also very much what the Money Game series is ultimately saying as well.

@@TwistedSisler ...I have to respectfully disagree with some of your reasoning. While I realize that people often get that quote wrong, and I agree it's the yearning obsessive need for money that brings out the monster in us, I would still have to hold to the idea, at least in this case, money is at the root of that obsessive toxicity, no different than the chemical compound known as an opiate is at the root of a Heroin addict's demise. Even though "pursuit" is in the actual old saying, I think normally that's implied, I mean opiates, even made into drugs aren't bad on their own, they also make morphine and plenty of medication that help people tolerate unbearable pain. It's us humans that mess it up, so there is where I agree, but it still remains, in the literal sense at least, the "root" would be what they're pursing, which would in turn make it evil in the eyes of the people hopelessly pursing it, and in the eyes of those who's lives were turned upside down because of it. On the second part of your comment, again, I agree that those things you mentioned are simply socioeconomic philosophies, that don't exist in a vacuum or in any tangible sense, that it is the human mind that created them and it's spirit which corrupts them. At the same time, it can not be ignored different philosophies can be inherent to certain qualities that make it far more likely to bring out the worst in humanity, or have qualities that make them susceptible to being manipulated. It is my belief, and a vast amount of others as well, that capitalism's bottom line is profit, whether it be physical currency or power. It's also designed to reward those who navigate their way to the top, by letting them create new rules within the structure of the philosophy that greatly benefit themselves and a small minority who have also rose to the top. Not only that, but increasing money and power over time, is it's core tenet, above all other things, including having a soul, it demands there be an underclass, and is vitally dependent on a certain level of misery in the unemployed and desolate along with market instability at times, as nourishment, otherwise it cannot survive, and I mean that in the most literal sense I can state. Communism and socialism's biggest downfall is for one, it's misunderstood by so many, especially in the U.S.. Second, capitalism is a singular, fairly narrow philosophy, where socialism is a broad umbrella term, covering many philosophies and ideologies on the left, which not only creates more infighting on that side of the sociopolitical spectrum, it also makes it that much easier to be manipulated by bad faith actors, only wanting power and money, making it a popular trope for conservatives to claim leftist ideology is more dangerous and should be more feared, due to more negative outcomes one can point to in our recent history, but that is for another discussion. One might say my following statement is due to my left leaning bias, or the fact that I'm literally under that socialist umbrella, but with the human mind aspect removed, socialism is, on paper, analytically and logically speaking, a far better game plan for an entire society or large group of humans than capitalism is by far. The problem comes down to either people not wanting to share their toys, or the belief that it's not possible for the flawed minds of sophisticated apes with an opposable thumb, to overcome such temptations, therefore those leftist ideologies simply exist in fantasy land, which I guess in my summation, shows I completely agree with your conclusion, just slightly disagree with how you came to it. Great discussion though, thanks for joining in!! Cheers!

@@sunshynff For sure, I always enjoy respectful back and forth dialogue. So there is a very big difference though between a chemical that is changing your body and mind physically and mentally and having an addiction to something that way versus mentally being addicted to something that is not chemical. I'm using the term chemical loosely here to include both manufactured and natural drugs that alter how your body functions. Money isn't the only non-chemical thing that people can become addicted to, and it's not even the money itself, it's lifestyles and behaviors that are typically the addiction and money is just the means to pursue those behaviors because that's what money is, it's a means to get something; but not in a negative or positive way, it just is what it is and its how we use it that becomes negative or positive. Again, we are the cause, not the money. We are the root of the problem. In terms of the argument that capitalism is the driving force of this.. it's not and history clearly shows that. These same patterns and behaviors have existed throughout humanity for centuries. To the point where we are just lying to ourselves if we don't acknowledge that this is human nature to be this way. Since recorded history began (and presumably before that), people have been perverting and corrupting religions, governments, and economic systems to manipulate people for personal gain. You can fit any socioeconomic system into the Money Game series and the message would still apply, and blaming the system because it's easier than looking at the truth that we are all part of the problem is the literal hook of the series. The exact issues we face today that capitalism gets blamed for pre-date the concept of capitalism by thousands of years; a pretty substantial amount. The difference is that everything is done on a larger scale now because the human perception of our planet has shrunk due to technology and population growth. Lastly, profit is not, nor has it ever been the bottom line to what Capitalism is. Thinking that is misunderstanding the difference between what Capitalism is and what people are abusing it and using it to do. Those are two different things. Capitalism is simply free market. It's just a set of economic rules to guide economy in a specific way and Capitalism's philosophy is that if the market is free and competition exists, then trade and the quality of the trade will improve over time, and that is absolutely true and there's mountains of proof of that. Is it a perfect system? Well of course not, it's just the option that we went with and best fit the western culture. But the problems you are speaking of in Capitalism also exist in Communistic, Socialistic, etc. cultures. Why? Because it's not the system that is bad, it's the people abusing it and perverting it from what it's intentions are. The same thing happens in religion and government and it's happened throughout history and always will, because humans and our general lust for wealth and power are the problem, not the tools we use. Bottom line is that if Capitalism didn't exist, we'd still be facing the same problems. Whatever system we were using would be susceptible to the same perversion and corruption, because that's just what we as humans do and have always done. Doesn't mean we shouldn't still strive to be better though, and that is exactly what the Money Game series is all about.

Ive been trying to get all the RENegades onto Twenty One Pilots!! TOP and Ren are the only ones out here doing this kind of epic music!

Ginger you hit the nail on the head so many times to Ren storey life is for being happy and content 😅

Yep, Ren and others have confirmed the cut when the camera goes around the wheelchair. Ren added in a live stream that it had to do with the water. If the water flowed and there was an issue with the shoot, they would need to do the entire thing over and the water would take a while to dry. The new album is fantastic as well!

Best words I’ve ever heard!

I respect your opinion. Different than mine but that’s the sign of good art. ✌️

Yet one truth remains: It's not solely about his father, as everyone has a father, and not every father is wise. Capitalism tends to foster selfish behaviors. Moreover, the impoverished do not receive the same level of education as the affluent. Without capitalism, there would be no incentive to constrain the opportunities of the average individual.

Money is not the root of all evil.. it’s the LOVE of money.

I agree that the father was a key aspect of this tragedy. At any point up to age 30 Jimmie could have stopped the insatiable quest for wealth and power, but he kept trying to get his father’s approval. Nothing was ever going to be enough. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the character in MG3 is Jimmie (James). I see this as a parallel / bridge between the money game series and the Tale of Jenny and Screech (birth name James). I see both as tales showcasing generational trauma and the self-destructive downward spiral paths that both Jimmie and Screech took. Jimmie was born into privilege with every advantage and opportunity, whereas Screech had nothing … but just because Jimmie had money, it didn’t keep him from a tragic fate. The impact of his upbringing led to tragedy. Although it’s also an exaggerated cautionary tale not to get caught in the rat race of greed. There is some of it in all of us.

The son could also have changed with the death of his father or ignored it, Ren does not say that money is bad in itself, if not greed and that was shown in the video, he could have stopped but in Instead he decided to grab more than he had.

Sick Boi is number one in the UK 🇬🇧 🙌🙌

10:30 keep some toothpicks around lol

Ren has plenty of music you can listen to. Maybe do some reactions like Power, Penitence, Dignity from his band, The Big Push…

Think that's the point- his fathers greed manifested to his own which created the story. It's symbolism "he put his hand into the cookie jar and took more than he needs" Ren isn't saying money is bad..or stringing to be the best person you can be is bad, it's the greed that takes it to a destructive place. If we put that ambition into collectively helping each other (stopping at the point of over consumption) then this would have turned to a happy story at age 20.

I think you’re missing REN’s point bruh. He is merely saying the way humans live is parasitic in that all we care about is advancement and out monetary things over the people we love

Actually I have heard people brag about conning and using people as a “they are stupid why shouldn’t I take advantage.” So we are praising a lack of morality and greed.

Fire!

If there are checks and balances in place to prevent this kind of greed or excess than parentage becomes irrelevant in the argument. There is no practical way to fix bad parentage universally. As a democratic society we can do better to ensure that wealth does not equate suffering. As you said if the kid stopped at the first level of success and didn't continue to hunger for more than his fate would have been avoided. Implementing better more healthy ways of satisfying that hunger in people is the key to a healthy balance in society. Figuring out a way to do that practically is the rub.

Nice commentary. Probably true

I’ll take that 10 cents please! Lol. Whoops.

Ren - Genesis when bro

Yes...2 take...had to get smoke out and strings in. Still genius ❣️ This album, Sick Boi, is #1 in at least 3 counties to include his own, UK.

This has nothing to do with the story or the father. It’s about society and how we’ve created money to mean so much when in reality it will be the downfall of humanity

Thank you 🙏❤ 3rd Ernest ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - 🎻🎻🎹💰🐚 Money Game, Part 3 reaction! You got it right with the cut behind the wheelchair. It was needed to transfer the mike (in the brooch) on his jacket's lapel into a waterproof container inside his tie knot. You're about to see why that was needed. Also many of the extras needed to run home.

You should check out Wicked ways by Ren it's not like the Ren tracks you've listen too like Money game, Hi Ren, It's probably his most mainstream song, I think you'd like it 😎👍

Money might be the root of all evil but you wouldn’t be complaining if were a millionaire

I remember reading somewhere that you can be a millionaire and still be a good person, but you can’t be a good person as a billionaire, as you have to fuck over a lot of people to get to that point.

The actual quote is "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." People leave that important word out and misquote that all the time. It's from a Bible verse.

That stuff is being said and done , just not in your world , like he said his life is just a Version of him , she, you

'a sheep reacts to Ren - Money Game part3' ! change the title

Bugger all to do with Dad. It is about ther American dream being a nightmare. It promotes the common good and socialism. what is important in life

I feel like the "American Dream" isn't what you think it is. The American Dream is opportunity and the freedom to pursue your own life and happiness. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with money, wealth, or power and never has. I don't know where that idea even comes from. Probably TV which isn't an accurate representation of what America is. TV is vert dramatized and exaggerated.

Your reaction/take on this is SPOT ON. I also thought that Jimmy's actions were strongly attributed to having a shitty father who never gave Jimmy any credit for his hard work, or any validation, love, nurturance and so on. Jimmy became the bi-product of his father's own greedy and toxic mindset. Had Jimmy been praised by his father from that early age, I don't think the rest of this story would have eventuated either.

I've noticed this guy never answers any comments. What does that tell you?

Hello! this is the first time I'll be requesting to your channel, I hope you can react to EZ MIL's "Can you keep a Secret". You are really good at breaking down music and lyrics.

You're 4 days behind everybody else....they have explained the wheel chair cut....But you must be the Genius of the world, because you were so clever you were the only one that saw it first time ? In England you would be known as a tosser .......................

Totally disagree about not listening to his music regularly. His album is full of bangers! Maybe not this song, but as a whole it’s 🔥

The story wouldn't have happened.....have you watched The Tales of Jenny and Screech.

Yeah no one says to go over board. But Ren's commentary isn't money is all evil and wanting to be wealthy is bad. It's the over extension of it. Because people do become arms dealers. People do become drug dealers. People do get into politics and abuse their power for wealth. People do lie and manipulate the data for profits. Awesome reaction btw!

An exceptionally miniscule percentage of people, but yes it does happen.

@@TwistedSisler Yeah sadly it only takes a miniscule percentage of people to become arms dealers and drug lords to wreck things on a global scale. Same thing with congressmen. There literally a finite amount of people who can become one. But powerful/wealthy people find there way to it all the same.

❤ I love how unapologetic u r for being genuine. 🫶

Maybe true but, I too have a different take. You don't do true first take reactions.

You missed one of the best parts of the performance in the morror scene and i thik youve totally missed the whole point of the video. Best if luck.

Your average person goes done this path just to a lesser extent. You still miss the point!!!!

saying money is not inherently bad is the same pointless argument as saying heroin or meth are not inherently bad. I think you missed the point of the song. It is not about capitalism being good or bad ... it's about parasitic living which will eventually destroy society. you can be rich and still do something for your society or community. You can get rich without abusing others .. it's just more difficult and unlikely.

@@TwistedSisler So, you basically agree with my statement and that the argument needs to be a little bit nuanced than "X is not inherently bad". Got it.

Damn you missed the point!!!

Man your chat has a few really vocal racists.

You’re taking it too literally… missing the message

I respect your perspective, but you did also say that the father in this song seems metaphorical, so it seems incorrect to rationalize it so literally. The primary message I hear with the song isn’t that capitalism is strictly bad, but unbridled capitalism has to be avoided. When someone has 9-11 zeros in their net worth and millions live in abject poverty and die from malnutrition, it seems like if there were guardrails on a capitalist system we could avoid this imbalance. Capitalism breeds inoculation and motivates many to work, but a system which follows the “Greed is Good” mindset (which is central in how our economy is presently structured) is leading us in a direction closer to this exaggerated tale than what most of us would like to see.

Your such a critical negative reactor. It's hard to understand why anyone would pay for your negativity, when your opinion which means less then your own opinion on artist.

What's really crazy is this was done in one take.
