In other words: People whining about whites not getting affirmative action yet again derive all their talking points by mangling statistics to try and hide their own privilege.

Poll: 49% of Occupy Wall Street Protesters Think the Bank Bailouts Were Necessary.
10/24/2011 2:34:18 PM
Most people want to believe there is an easy, painless way out of the financial crisis. Unfortunately, there isn't, and that's a harsh reality that no one is willing to face. They wanted the bailouts because they didn't want the financial system to implode, but if they want the fairness they claim to want, then the system has to collapse.[Edited on October 24, 2011 at 2:39 PM.

video from inside the citibank arrests:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXArH_TywFAcharged for trespassing. i was always under the impression that you must be asked to leave before you can be charged, not sure what the law is on that (or whether or not they were ever asked to leave). Kind of curious to see if more video makes it out that settles this. or if it just comes down to a he said she said scenario.[Edited on October 24, 2011 at 5:48 PM. Reason : ]

If OWS is to stay relevant and become influential, then there has to be a widespread acceptance that the government is as much to blame for our crisis as the private sector. The regulators failed; the regulators were, in the majority of cases, industry insiders. If you want to see justice, then let the financial institutions fail, even if it comes 3-4 years too late. If you want them to fail, then get some people elected that will allow it to happen, rather than politicians that will try to prop up the system for another two years.The banksters dug their own graves. Take them off life support and let them rot.[Edited on October 24, 2011 at 8:59 PM. Reason : ]

10/25/2011 7:18:41 PM
There's a good point in there, somewhere. Why do dealers get to borrow from the Fed at .25% (which is, essentially, a process of money creation), but not the people themselves?

what's funny is the several OWS protesters I have spoken with all remind me of this dingbat. they all spoke with the same bullshit. it's no wonder these protesters have no credibility.

Pretty hard to argue, and I promise you the Oakland occupy group will only get bigger as a result. It's fucking Oakland. If it were Berkeley or Palo Alto, then yeah, maybe they'd go home and be done with it. Not likely in Oakland. This was a stupid move on the city's part.[Edited on October 26, 2011 at 3:25 PM.

Are you expecting that to make a difference to the pro-authority, pro-oligarchy, pro-aristocracy conservative neo-monarchists in this thread? All they care about is that hippies are getting clubbed over the head frequently and hard. They could care less that the elderly and children were caught up in that overreaction, and that the protestors were denied basic respect and rights by an out-of-control police state. All that matters to them is that the knife is pointed at the other guy, because they're short-sighted little fucks who hope this corrupt, unjust world chugs along because they are gullible enough to believe the moderate amount of comfort they were scraped out (or handed) relies on the fundamental unfairness they shill for. The masking of this process to themselves is simple-minded alchemy, turning class interests and biases into truths.The only thing uniting conservative policies is that each and every upshot benefits the hyperwealthy at literally everybody's expense. One thing uniting MANY (but not all of them) is the "freedom" to crush minority groups under your boot if you amass enough private power.[Edited on October 26, 2011 at 3:46 PM. Reason : .]

^^ i know. how dare the police uphold the law. you know, laws like "places that serve food have to be inspected." Or "medical facilities have to be inspected." Or "housing facilities have to be inspected." The people were free to protest against the evil capitalists all they wanted. but when they set up services that are regulated, those services changed the game.
