2.0 out of 5 stars libertarian religion, loud and clear, February 7, 2012
This review is from: Penn & Teller: BS! Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
I love this show, most of the time. But their extremely limited knowledge of the world sometimes screams loud and clear and never more so than in this episode. Did anybody notice that they talk about how great it is to have nations with such oppressive governments that we can happily exploit them for near slave labor, but they never delve into the history of how the situations in some of these nations came to be? Why is there no episode about "national security"? Among the most friendly of all nations for the US to export manufacturing to is Indonesia. Are these guys aware that the US overthrew their government in the 60's, killing some 500,000 people in cold blood in a matter of weeks, to create such a business friendly place? They scoff at "socialism" but never really go into any detail, it is clearly just like a religious sentiment to them. They are true believers. The fact is libertarianism is about as right wing as can be, in the form they love to praise. No criticism is seen about the lack of free flow of labor, just praise of the free flow of capital. The government intervenes in the foreign affairs of other countries to make investment friendly atmospheres. That's the opposite of free markets, that's the ultimate state control of business. And they see the end result and eulogize it. Most episodes of this show are awesome, but this one really puts their ignorance and arrogance on display. A shame, they should get it right, or add an episode on the real nature of 'national security' or they should just stay way from such topics altogether.
