Yeah, site is pretty awful, but advice looks pretty reasonable.

Thatcherite? How?

because the central message is 'do whatever you want without guilt and fuck society'.

This is a normal post Nah. Looking from here Thatcher stood for free market mainly,
and free market is by it's nature natural enemy of misty-eyed mediocre creative people.

not sure how free market capitalism is the enemy of freelance creative types, seeing as that's how they all function. Anyway, you're missing my point.

This is a normal post It is not indeed.
Unless you are mediocre one feeling entitled.

I think I get your point, just wanted to point out that it's not what usually Thatcher is associated with (I'm guessing by your sentiment, outside UK that is).

Essentially Thatcher preached a creed of selfishness ('there is no such thing as society') an this advice is in line with that, in my opinion.

This is a normal post Usually this is
presented more in a line of "there is no such thing as society, because there are individual persons, families, all with different needs and problems, and as they are not hypothetical uniform entity, government can not nor should try to cater to all of their needs (as it will indirectly hurt some of them, yes taking money in form of taxes from their house budget and totally blowing it hurts, it's not rocket science)."

But it could be all in my head.

well, yes. Does that not fit my point? The individual at the expense of the collective.

This is a normal post The nonexistant collective, at expense of real individual more like.
You are taking money from very real individuals to sacrifice on the altar of some artificial social construct ;)

Taking aside our different views, we can go back on agreeing how original video is clearly deluded :)
