Occupy Wall Street: The Movement Grows

[Big Fitz]

eh

Quote:
You know, you aren't my college professor. I'm pretty damned sure you're simply a shill for the status quo. When I'm done with my thesis, and if you're really interested, I'll send it to you. If not, more balls than what seems to be supported, but no harm, no foul. Have a very nice and subservient life.


eh

Who, pray tell are you quoting. It's not me. Secondly, did you understand my fisking of your post or was it above your pay grade? If you're quoting Dragon, boy you are desperate for something to bail you out.

Chica, I may not be expert re the format here, but every point I answered in my reply to you was yours. If you're too simple to figure out what you asked and what I answered, we're done here, as it is a simple matter of what you already said (you should remember those parts) and my reply.

So Babsie... why didn't you just admit you've no fucking clue what you're talking about, what the plan is, or even how to get there rather than pretending to quote something halfwitty in response which neither addressed the question or was even part of the conversation. At least when I pulll a lolcat out for irrelevant mockery of the stupid, lame or ironic, there's a purpose for it.

Do you comprehend that?

Here are some hilarious excerpts from a local article on the movement in my city insipired by the Wall Street protests:

Jarett Young works in a liquor store where people tell him every day that they hate their jobs and they're always broke and they have too many bills to pay.

"People work 30, 40 years of their life and have nothing to show for it, and people wonder why we have people who drink and do drugs," Young said. "There's gotta be a change."

Not too long ago these people were simply referred to as hobo's. Now they are thought to be some sort of pseudo-revolutionaries?

 

[Dragon]

Van Jones is behind your precious 'uprising'. It's the 'October Offensive' that we weren't supposed to find out about.

That is so silly. If you "weren't supposed to find out about it," why did he give a public speech on the subject and put it on the Internet and all like that?

And no, OWS is not Jones' "October Offensive." Jones has been trying to get things like this going for some time, but OWS grew spontaneously from Internet activity by a great many individuals, entirely bottom-up.

Besides which, Jones isn't "far left" either. He's sort of in the same category as Sanders.

But this attempt to mischaracterize the movement is perfectly predictable. It's the natural response of fear to something that you failed to predict, and don't know where it's going. Since you have no understanding of it at all, you can't know, as I know, that there is zero chance of this movement spawning a totalitarian takeover. As that is your nightmare, and this movement for you is a big indecipherable black box, it feeds your nightmare.

WTF did I quote beyond your own incoherent rambling? At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

 

[Big Fitz]

She knows next to nothing about this country and its pulse

I find that a lot of people participating in boards like this one who consider themselves conservatives, and when they use labels like "far left," are talking about the likes of Nancy Pelosi or Bernie Sanders, or even in some cases Barack Obama. Pelosi and Sanders are not "far left" of course, let alone Obama.

I've known some real far lefties. The Revolutionary Communist Party is far left. The Unabomber was far left. The Socialist Workers Party is kind of semi-far left. The Wobblies have a far-left tick to them sometimes.

I expect all of these, except the Unabomber of course, to hitch a ride with OWS and try to promote their agendas; that happens in every center-left protest. But the movement itself is populist, center-left, mainstream. You will find that a clear majority of the people will agree with most of the grievances listed.

Yea, cuz Truthdon'tmatter is the epitome of rational thought.

Van Jones is behind your precious 'uprising'. It's the 'October Offensive' that we weren't supposed to find out about. Now, you might not be concerned about who the puppetmasters are in this scenario. But I am.

The leaders of these protests know who cut their checks and from what cutouts they received their money through. The rest are faithful, useful idiots.

In context of this discussion the song gets funnier still.

Sanders is a Socialist and he's not far enough Left in your book?

LOL... yes sir, Babsie. If you can't keep up with the conversation, I suggest you sit down and let the adults continue on.

 

[Dragon]

Sanders is not "far left" because the real far left is considerably to the left of him. Whether he is left enough for me to agree with him is irrelevant; I generally DON'T agree with the far left (i.e., they're to the left of me, too).

Unwashed masses descend on Wall Street and scare suits. Corporate media machine reacts. Use of term "socialism" and "communism" skyrockets among right wing "useful idiots".

End of message.

People with full time jobs, no matter how humble, were once considered "hobo's?"
really?
I can guess when this happened politically, but when did it happen locally, where you are?

The sad thing is that you actually believe that it wasn't co-ordinated. IT was. Planned and executed by Watermelon Man & Co.

You can pretend it wasn't - or maybe you really believe it wasn't - either way, is of no consequence.

Listen up,little man, if you can't produce better than you have, and it's no big shame that you can't, given your obvious limitations, it might be best to let it go. Nobody will think any less of you than they already do, and most will forget all about it after a day or two, if that.

Prove it.

 

[Big Fitz]

Wow... sad when Bernie Sanders isn't "That Leftist" as compared to "Real Leftists".

I'm wondering what the "Real Left" looks like to Dragon.

"Movement"? What movement? All I see, is a rabble of spoiled brat college kids (Lord, I wish we could bring back the draft, and give them a REAL reality check!), and a bunch of assorted losers and pseudo-intellectual radicals, all controlled by their puppetmasters in the Obama camp. As I said, they couldn't stage a coup in a two-bit, banana republic. Let them squeal; if they get violent, crack their skulls. I got a job for them though; let 'em walk point in the Sandbox, with a damn cowbell around their pencil necks! At least then, they'd actually be good for something, however briefly.

It's been planned since May as an attempt to collapse the market and the US economy so the radicals can seem rational in a time of crisis..

Who is farther to the left then Bernie Sanders, Dragon? I honestly can't think of one politician that I would put further to the left than the Senator from Vermont. I'm curious to hear from you who would fit that bill.

 

[Dragon]

"Movement"? What movement?

Why, this one, of course:

Labor Unions Join Occupy Wall Street for New York Rally - ABC News

All I see, is a rabble of spoiled brat college kids (Lord, I wish we could bring back the draft, and give them a REAL reality check!), and a bunch of assorted losers and pseudo-intellectual radicals, all controlled by their puppetmasters in the Obama camp.

Like I said, the right has no clue whatsoever about this movement, and no understanding of where it's coming from or where it's going. None. A more complete failure to comprehend would be hard to imagine.

No wonder you're all so scared of it.
