I know, these priviledged kids think they can make a difference by stopping up traffic and being a general annoyance to the people trying to make a living, and not trying to go to DC to actually protest the laws and lawmakers/incumbents that allow these wallstreet practices. It's like hey losers, get a job.

naww they deserve it. have you seen all the pictures of people in guy faux masks and redittors and 4chan posters? It's embarrassing. plus, msnbc is notorious for being a slanty liberal news outlet. theres worse things going on that aren't reported, some trust fund american apparel dork getting his poor camera scratched is oh so trivial

Rei is either trolling or severely retarded. Let's hope he's trolling.

i wish i was, i don't think my opinion is irrational. this is an embarrassing instance of activism. there's no focus, no leaders, no real call for seriousness, it's a mess. just people taking up space not making a difference. if you don't mind, let me hear what you think of the protests and validate why i'm retarded.

sure i was lying about what i said about people getting harrassed/beat up or w/e by the nypd, as people getting hurt over peaceful protests is never a good thing, but otherwise i think i'm pretty rational. they didn't even get a protest permit, they just flashmobbed it. you might say, "pfft, free country and you have to pay for a permit? give me a break" but when NYC is home to millions of people, ensuring people's safety and trying to keep traffic uninhibited is essential to make things run smoothly for both parties.

Rei we're witnessing roughly the same economic/social conditions, the same mistakes of the past, which started World Wars.
In WW1 and WW2 humanity didn't possess the means by which to annihilate itself, but now it does.
Only the power of the people can change the rules by which corporations and governments operate and must do as a means of species survival ultimately.
Also humanity possesses the means by which everyone can live safely, prosperously and without harming the environment. The social/economic system in which we live prohibits that from happening and only direct action by the masses can help us progress. Corporations and governments are systematically flawed and must be pressured by "the people" into accepting progress.
You can write that off as some socialist agenda but I consider myself a democratic centrist. An honest analysis of the system in which we live however reveals democratic centrists to exist on the far Left of the real political spectrum.

violence is never an answer.. History disagrees with you - every mayor change came accompanied by a lot of blood. Reminds me of Al Capone with his quote about efficency of word accompanied by a gun, compared to just regular word. States are leaders on this front btw, Iraq and Libya are good examples - you can get a lot more oil if instead of "please" and "trading" you use "democracy" and a lot of big guns. |

In WW1 and WW2 humanity didn't possess the means by which to annihilate itself, but now it does. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were good examples how banner of freedom of opression can be used for anything. Common delusion that is quite useful for powers to be and is cultivated by them. "People" are just a herd, crowd of individuals, incapable to do anything. Any change and movement needs leaders, without them "people" are less than nothing. Its is extremely usefull for powerholders that every1 believe that their can just stand up and change the world, it makes people content and happy(even if this is delusional happyness) people are much less prone to revolt and much more prone to be a "sheep"(just another moneybag taxpayer who believes in all that crap about freedom and domocracy). And all potential leaders are either being bought out or eliminated by other means. Word dude 8). To be honest it doesnt really matter are one democrate or socialist, its all about actions. Theres been tyrants who were better by a mile compared to average democrate. Each political idea is good till it get decimated and twisted by headon collision with reality. I see it pretty much every day here. |

Well it might be an answer but never should be. Everyone has a right to protest in my country, and so it is in the USA.
