Our government sent a message to those who would gather peacefully to protest the Wealth Disparity, and not enough of the Working Class & newly Poor were/are hungry enough to have given their support to the handful who actually turned out in the streets. It is not over yet. The Death Spiral for the Working Class continues while the 1% have never had it so good, but some still cling to the "hope" that somebody in Washington still cares. That veneer gets thinner every day. It is going to be UGLY. I'm too old to be of much help to OCCUPY beyond sending a few pennies. My days of marching in the street are over, but my heart is with the Movements for Economic Fairness. I hope I will live to see the People wrest the government from the hands of the 1%. There is some hope. Many Latin American countries have successfully taken their countries from the hand of their 1% in near bloodless Ballot Box revolutions. They did it by organizing locally. Spread the WORD. VIVA Democracy. I pray we get some here soon!
Dustlawyer (2,265 posts) 13. Sad but true! They control the government,all 3 branches, the media and law enforcement. OWS was a threat to that control so they crushed it. To do a "ballot box" revolution you will need candidates willing to vote for COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM AND PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS! They will fight like hell to prevent it. TIME IS RUNNING OUT, we need organizers NOW!

Warpy (74,213 posts) 83. When peaceful protest is brutally crushed, you can bet the next ones will be violent beyond belief.This will happen and what will set them off will be seen as trivial but it will be one of those last straw things. I don't think non cooperation is a viable means beyond rolling strikes with the strikers staying home instead of assembling in a convenient crowd for the militarized police and national guard to destroy. Crushing OWS was the worst thing they could have done, given the overall mood of the country. And the fat cats always insist on that sort of reaction.

yawn...Another DU "rise up and overthrow our oppressors" thread, which will wind up like the other 4,332 threads in the past 10 years on there advocating armed revolution, and that is amounting to exactly Jack Shit.Primitives are talkers; not doers. You're talking about a bunch of people whose main purpose in life is to yammer away on a message board all day, and the majority of which are absolutely petrified of firearms. Not exactly a bunch of budding Che Gueveras.
The cities do have one kind of resources-"Soylent Green is people!"
Wonder what Janey did for $100/HR?
Whatever it was worth when she was a young filly, she can only get $15 for it as an old nag.
That's such a nice way to put the answer.

Response to Zorra (Reply #165)Sun Feb 9, 2014, 03:09 PMSpringslips (251 posts)169. Yes!Let's start a cultural revolution. Move to a dead city like Detroit, and bring it alive with our own values, memes, and beliefs.This is where we should be thinking. Something like this.
I smell mole meat.
BULLCRAP! Your wife was either the world champion spendthrift/deadbeat twofer who ever lived, one of the worst attorneys to ever walk the Earth, or you were both leading a high-end-gentlemens-club life on a free-internet-porn income for 25 years. I retired from institutional attorney work two years ago and I've been having to chase work away with a stick.
Trust me, they would watch this nation burn rather than to simply admit they backed the wrong horse twice. In their minds, if they admit to that, then they admit to being wrong on absolutely anything.

Go ahead, nobody wants the cesspools anyway. Start with Chicago, but then again the drug dealing hoodrats may have something to say about that.
In her last temp job, in order to use the restroom she needed to go to the supervisor, who would escort her, unlock it, and then relock it when she was done. After child care expenses she netted about $11 per hour.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
I don't know if anyone picked up on this but I 100% believe it. But it isn't due to restrictive work rules, it is due to FEAR OF LIABILITY brought on by feminazis filing frivolous sexual harassment lawsuits for the last 20+ years. The only way to make sure that womyn are not "harassed" (scare quotes by design) is to have an independent witness to all possible sexual situations, especially restroom visits.As we see more and more in the DUmmies' howls of self-pity: OWN IT!
