WHY IS SOCIETY SO RETARDED? We invented these stupid avenues

>we pay them millions.
which they then near instantaneously piss away on cars, houses they can't afford 10 years from then, and other pointless shit

look up how many pro athletes are still rich once they are no longer professionally employed athletes

>>34824705
They provide entertainment to distract you from how shit your reality is. Of course they're going to be paid a lot. Can you imagine what would happen if everyone realized how shitty the system is to the working man?

>>34824748
Nice counter argument you braindead shitstain. Notice how nobody agrees with you? that's because your opinions are shit and you're retarded. Die in a ditch

I have a 2012 Samsung

>>34824721

That's completely besides the point. The market is based on the consumers demand for entertainment.

Why are these retarded faggots that together constitute society, retarded enough, to value a bunch of monkeying by a bunch of otherwise worthless humans, so highly?

>WHY THE FUCK ARE WE SO RETARDED?

Obviously there's some social need for sports, arts and other seemingly irrelevant things, even though not all citizens may be interested in them. My only thoughts on that subject is that people have a need to act out their sectarianism, and being a sports nut or watching a bunch of fat neckbeards livestream e-sports matches is their way of acting out sectarian tendencies legally and non-violently.

>>34824806
I'm not OP you gobshite. I don't have to counter anything because you don't have any arguments.

Die in poverty.

>wasn't me xd

So you literally came in and added no value to the conversation while sucking OP's dick for no reason like the worthless individual you are. Gotcha.

They attract views from millions of people which attracts investment by companies, it literally is the market at work.

>>34824779

It always struck me the wrong way that entertainment is such a huge business. I understand that it's all because it's easily broadcast to everyone and large audiences deliver lots of revenue but holy fuck is an average human being who goes on TV every night to ask some stupid skank some stupid questions and make a couple of jokes, really worth half a billion dollars?

Like seriously wtf. There are actual indispensable human beings, actual geniuses, 1 of a kind, literally, who work on the future on humanity, developing the latest technologies and they barely make 200k/year.

Capitalism is retarded.

>They attract views from millions of people which attracts investment by companies, it literally is the market at work.

I understand how the market works. It is still fucking stupid.

Keeps the unwashed masses from rioting.
We could take the billions paid to professional athletes and sterilize the underclasses with it to control the population instead but people get all wimpy about "muh human rights" and all that

>>34824981
We can agree on that, but don't go around asking why it happens, it's just economics at work.

It's all due to the whole business of advertising which is probably altogether more detrimental to society than productive. But it makes some people wealthier.

You're worth what the sexual market place says you're worth. Which is nothing.

reminder that at a period in time all "entertainers" (not to be confused with artists) were on the same level as prostitutes - people who sold themselves for money

Should've known i was arguing with a woman from the borderline down syndrome-esque style of replying.

>>34825151
Everyone sells themselves for money. That's literally what jobs are.

>>34824705
>These people (actors, athletes, TV personalities...etc) have no utility. They don't contribute anything to better society and we pay them millions.
They provide entertainment. If people stop watching them they would disappear.

>>34824954
completely agree and i've been muling over this for awhile. the entertainment industry is probably the most powerful force on earth.

gee man if becoming an NBA all star or an award winning actor is so easy, so much so that a worthless scum can even achieve, why dont you go ahead and become one of them?

>>34824705

What are athletic competitions? What are creative outlets? What are genetic gods? Sorry you have none

>>34824705
Don't you understand that this effectively fucks idiots over OP? For every 1 NBA player there are, quite literally, hundreds, if not thousands of aspiring young basketball players that wish they could get into the NBA. These people will never make it and will find themselves at 30 with no education, no career and no marketable skills. Some will go to Europe and get paid but even they are in the 98th percentile in terms of skill.

I find it hilarious listening to people say "I want to be a rapper" or "I want to be a basketball player" because they'll never fucking make it

thanks, USA, world leader of those avenues.

Economy of scale.

I see no problem witit. These people basically gambled and won. Most of them will be broke in five years but let them have their fun. Normies always aspire to see their pointless hobbies turn into careers.

I honestly think it balances itself out since not that many people will achieve these things. The possibility of being a millionaire athlete or actor is VERY low. How many people went to your High School? Now think about how many became any of these things? Probably none of them, right?

This isn't even getting into the fact that literally all of their money can be lost. Just look up the stories about the broke former NBA players who were once millionaires.

>According to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 78% of National Football League (NFL) players are either bankrupt or commit suicide within two years of retirement and an estimated 60% of National Basketball Association players go bankrupt within five years after leaving their sport.

most athletes donate a shitload of their money and go out and inspire people so fuck off you autistic neet shitter you're just assblasted because you are worth nothing yourself

Who? The Jews tried promoting a bunch of kike pornstars but the people said fuck no Steinberg

i was thinking about this last night

honestly humans get so fucking bored on this rock that we demand entertainment i guess

so much so that those who provide us with genuine entertainment are paid millions

>>34827094

Arguably, those people providing basic entertainment help keep the rest of us content, placated and productive. Without them, we might get bored and our productivity might decrease. We may even revolt.

So, thinking about it that way, they are worth the money they cost.

Some people take out their aggression, and desire for tribal conflict, by watching and supporting a sports team. If they didn't have this, then they would turn to crime or rioting to fill that violent need. Their favourite, highly paid athletes ensure their need for violence is filled so they can focus on flipping burgers and putting numbers on a spreadsheet.

is this a quotation from something?

>>34824705
Of course those people have greate value to the (((System))).

They all mainly contribute to the bread and circus aspect that is an integral part of the (((System)))s self-reinforcement capabilities.

Communism is the ultimate normy ideology. Sure, rich Chads get BTFO, but average Chads and Stacies get an equal share of wealth plus intangible social status while we are disallowed from a larger share of wealth to compensate for being alienated.

There has to be some way for us to escape the normies even if we are too lazy and useless to go for it. There has to be a chance we can start acting like ferengi and scam normies out of their money for our own benefit and receive our truly deserved share.
