Anonymous Coward User ID: 55721 United States 11/24/2011 02:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can someone please explain why the protesters are being demonized on GLP? I've been involved in protests for several years, I attend local protests because I want to voice my concerns like everyone else. I want to downsize our government, get rid of the fed and IRS. We need to cut spending, starting with "defense" spending. I want to withdraw all troops from around the world and rebuild America. I want the bankster bastards who wrote CDS and other fake "vehicles" locked up till they turn to dust. I want Obamacare to be ripped up and completely thrown out, along with the patriot act. Yet I come on here and all I see is everyone saying that the protesters are all jobless hippie commies. Instead of being armchair warriors, take advantage of this chance to get your voice heard. If the commies really did hijack the movement, don't alienate the ones who go to fight for liberty. Why not take the damn thing back? Am I the only person on this site that wants the things I mentioned above? Am I a commie because I believe the government has overstepped it's bounds and usurped our rights? I work a 40 hour week, busting my ass to make a living and I find the time to be an activist, yet people want to stereotype the protestors as jobless hippies who want to start riots. I feel like I have stepped into the twilight zone. When are we expected to get off our butts and go do something about the fleecing? Personally, I don't care what the name of the protest is. It's a chance for me to get my voice heard and do something, it's better than sitting around bitching about nothing being done. Hence my request for someone to explain the hatred Quoting: thadividedsky |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2561793 Netherlands 11/24/2011 02:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know bankers know the game of hedging. They know how to bet on both sides and come out winning everytime. In the small possibility that OWS is orchestrated by them, I would assume the other protest movement, the Tea Party, is also their doing. I have heard things coming from OWS that are indeed terrible if it were to become truth (communism). But the same goes for the Tea Party (lawless corporatism). So we have to think, all protest is fake, we cannot win. Or we have to merge the two protest and be very wise and cooperative, in the interest of our practical selves and not go for some weird ideology. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2561793 Netherlands 11/24/2011 03:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is hard. In most countries, if there is protest, it is always against government doing the wishes of corporations, wishes that harm the livelyhood or ecology of some peoples. Or there is a protest against a corporation itself. Most of all grassroots protests are against corporations who bring in so much for a government but harm a lot of the population. And then there are paid, non grassroots protests. They are coming from corporations themselves. They fight to keep being free to destroy livelyhoods, plunder land or sell dangerous stuff. No regulations, no oversight, no taxes. This last thing has evidently worked very well to influence the right wing voters in the US. Their fight is always in line with the second protest, the ones who fight for freedom for corporations. It took right wingers just 1 day, or maybe even 1 hour, to know they had to demonise OWS. We live in difficult times. The truth is out there, but it is a needle in a haystack. |

Your opinions sound like FOX talking points, however I do respect your right to express and contribute them. Quoting: MaMa 1404952 there wouldn't be any false and unenlightened assumptions if you OWSers had a message. All I see are idiots crapping on squad cars, public nudity, drugged out interviewees, trash all over everywhere, screaming, ranting back five syllable phrases that are spoon fed to you mindless sheep, filth, and an endless parade of human debris. If that's all you see, it's because that's all you want to see. Try putting the bigotry to one side and taking another look. |
