Title: OWieS need a little re-branding
Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on April 26, 2012, 03:59:35 PM
Can I still say "OWieS"? They hardly seem relevant enough.

Anyway, they seem to recognize their own impotence and decide the plan isn't to resonate with the average American but to further reinforce their image as out-of-touch know-it-all whiners by selecting framing that is distant and aloof sounding.

Oh yeah, and he helpfully provides a definition because naturally he assumes you're not smart enough to know it already:

A suggestion to everyone, especially Occupy: ditch the phrase "1%" in favor of "Plutocrats"

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/plutocrat

plu·toc·ra·cy (pl-tkr-s)
n. pl. plu·toc·ra·cies
1. Government by the wealthy.
2. A wealthy class that controls a government.
3. A government or state in which the wealthy rule.

There are a few 1%ers who are fighting for us: William Buffett, to some degree, and George Soros.

However, the ones that are destroying America and turning it into a Social Darwinist hell, are the plutocrats, the ones who want to turn america into a nation ruled by wealth and not wisdom.

Every person in America needs to be made familiar with the term Plutocracy. It is, along with Social Darwinism, the most precise definition for the greatest threat facing the working class today.


Only you can end the Plutocracy!

a Social Darwinist hell

Excuse me, the left is making the US into a Social Darwinist Hell.  They don't believe in letting the people rise or fall on their own they want to force the workers to support the moochers.  Shouldn't Darwinist support "survival of the fittest" and letting people adapt or perish?

I live in Madison WI where they've been throwing around the phrase "plutocrat" and its derivatives since before most OWieS were carbon emitting down twinkles in their fathers' eyes.

It changed about as many things as the 1%-99% meme have.

These idiots act like we're Honduras where everyone is divided into two classes, the haves and the have nots.  :whatever:

Southpark had an episode about it:

If you understand Southpark, you'll understand it's trashing the 99%ers. It doesn't seem like it at first.

We can agree the OWies need branding but where and with what?  Their foreheads with a hot poker?

Just watched that episode, funny stuff.  While on the site I found this musical clip: http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/412210/jackin-it-in-san-diego.  Obviously a reference to the problem Jason Russell (Kony 2012) had last month in downtown San Diego.  I know it shouldn't be funny but it cracks me up.

Well the DUmmies roundly rejected the idea.  Socialist_n_TN's favorite insult is "capitalist" or "owner."  You cut me to the quick, SnT!!

One problem with the 99-1 deal is that it confused some DUmmies, who thought that the 99 percentile should all think exactly alike.  Someone would say something like "so-and-so said THAT?  How can that be?  She's part of the 99%!!!"

They pulled their sinister percentiles out of a dead dogs ass.
DUmbasses only represent perhaps .01%, if even that.
Then they pitch a hissy when others don't take them serious.

One DUmmie said yesterday "we outnumber them (hopefully) by millions!!!"   Forgot to load it in the boat.  They always forget that Gallup chart that shows Liberals at 20% and Conservatives at 40%.

It's the 40% moderate that are so easily swayed to vote lib that are killing the country.

The Obamessiah has alienated a lot of that 40% in the middle.
