1) Protesting because you are a stupid person who makes stupid decisions (ie. going to college and thinking you'll get a good job) is your own fault. The school system gives you a piece of paper in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars -- and if you can't recognize how broken that system is before jumping ignorantly into it, you deserve what you get.

2) These protesters never talk about the true sources of problems. They only want their little personal cut of the loot, not to actually reform shit. If you gave them an extra $100 a month from tax money, they would be happy.

3) It's retarded to think that protests will do absolutely anything beneficial in this day and age.


I agree with what this man said.

Seriously, all that these people have proven is that the 99% is so idiotic and gullible that they'll jump head first into a completely illogical and corrupt system, and then take no responsibility for it when it ruins their lives.

Those anti-Ron Paul people who want massive inflation to solve all of our problems? How hopelessly fucked is America at this point, when that's the 99%'s solution?

But of course, anyone who protests is only displaying their ignorance. The Second Amendment was put in place BECAUSE asking corrupt leaders to help you after they've fucked you over is pointless -- at some point it's about actual warfare. I hate to sound like I'm quoting from the script of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but I've said for ages that FEMA and the 1% are just waiting for a major uprising in order to legitimize a real police state.

Ahh yes, I do enjoy seeing it all swirl right down the fucking drain.

Dear minions of Ron Paul: I am writing to say that if you continue to drive by my page and fire off videos, and insist that the only reason I disagree with you is because I don’t understand capitalism, or because I’m ignorant to what you have to say, I will consider banning all outgoing links in comments on this article.
Quote:
While they largely claim, with big, innocent puppy eyes, that they are anti-corporatists, these people are nothing more than lassaiz-faire, free-for-all market capitalists, who wish to create a new State in which the police and government serve capitalists and business. Which is awfully funny considering we already live in one version of that State. These free-market capitalists want more.


Edit: I'm confused. What does selling things for money have to do with racism, gay bashing, and hating trannies? :/
They have nothing in common.

Someone I talked to brought up a good point. Why are these people protesting now, as opposed to, you know, during TARP? Or when the auto bailouts were being discussed?

Also, if you are serious about joining a socialist commune, they can freely exist in a free market society. In our current society, even, they exist.

Occupy Liberty Island;

Listen to what HELIOS says and compare it to most of what the Occupy protesters are saying. It's scary...

"This Machine Defenestrates Debit Fees". That was a nice touch.

I don't see this helping "FUCK YOU THEY SHOULD BE PRINTING MORE MONEY" guy, but I think some people could understand the real problem with the monetary and banking system in this country.

I should print that out and hand it to everyone at school.
Especially my Social Studies teacher.

We were going over some of the Amendments in The Constitution today. When we got to the 16th Amendment he went on a little rant about how he thinks Ron Paul and other Libertarians don't know that the income tax is actually in The Constitution. "WELL LOOKEY HERE! ITS RIGHT HERE!" I pointed out to him that "we're not saying that it isn't in The Constitution. We're saying it SHOULDN'T be in The Constitution. It wasn't one of the 10 main Amendments. It was added by some asshole who wanted to spend more money." I also cited how the 18th Amendment was repealed by the 21st Amendment. Now we can all drink to our hearts content (so long as you're 21... why the fuck can I join the army and get killed when I'm 18, but I'm somehow not responsible enough to have a drink?) IT CAN BE DONE.

Then he kept telling me that the Founders wrote The Constitution over 200 years ago and needed updates (this is the kind of thinking that allows Bush to spy on our phones, or Obama to assassinate American citizens...) and went on about how it's needed to "fund the government", as if we never had taxes before the 16th Amendment. We're still borrowing shit loads of money so all it did was encourage more destructive behavior with taxpayer money.

Finally he tried to feed me the story about how deregulation, not the Federal Reserve and the cushion TARP gave big corporations, allowed banks to make reckless investments. Hence why I need to print those out.

Basically, I'm how Ronok described Michael Moore;
Quote:
he's just the annoying kid in the back of class that thinks he can prove the teacher wrong about things he knows nothing about.
I knew this school year would be interesting.

Heed my warning. In a free environment where the instructor is open minded or at least allows for differing opinions you should speak up. However, if you feel that you will be graded down simply for your opinion, back down. In the end of the day, you're there to get a piece of paper, not dictate policy.

He openly invites discussion.
I'm just "stirring the intellectual pot", as Ronok put it.

Someone should let the Obama supporters protesting know how much money he's getting from the Wall Street folks.

So that one guy from "RESISTING THE MILIEU" is trying to make me feel guilty for being white.

I have two black friends. Am I clean?

Edit: And a half-asian, half-black guy on the internet. That's, like, two in one!

Edit 2: Ravi is both a free market capitalist AND a minority.
Hell, he was one before I (a white man) got into it.
Myth = Debunked
