No topic about Occupy Wall Street?
when it rains it pours:
the corporations are making soooo much profit and are giving the laborers the same wage as they were getting in the 80's even though the profit went through the roofs in the last 20 years, the same money they made off the labor class they are turning around and lending it back out to the labor class with a shit load of interest. it was only a matter of time. all the scum bag ceo's should get a public execution like they did back in the day.

Financial institutions aren't going to stop giving money to politicians simply because people say so. You can make a difference by protesting the politicians since their main priority is getting reelected (so they can receive lobby money). But since the White House and upper house of congress (Senate) is controlled by the Democrats, these liberal hippies wouldn't want to protest the politicians they so blindly worship.

There's protests in front of the white house all of the time, some don't even be in English. The thing is that they usually have small groups of people rather than hundreds and thousands/millions

you'd have to be a confused fuck to feel moved by this

Moved? It's called irony, that's all. Why would a picture like that invoke emotion?

Irony doesn't apply here. But the way you had put up that picture like it was supposed to be humorous/irony was bone-headed, that's all.

its disappointing at the end of the day knowing that there will be no real "revolution" the corporations cant be fucked with, they own the media- which all the big media fucks are ridiculing and marginalizing the protester because that's what the corporations want. the government has the corporations back obviously, so if shit ever got out of hand they will call in the military which over 50% of all US tax payers money is going to.
this shit was predicted over 100years ago, read the communist manifesto, too bad the general public has been dumb'd down through out the years to just keep going with the flow.

Honest question, not rhetorical at all: How does irony not apply here?
Most of these people are protesting against the greed of corporations, while simultaneously feeding into that greed by buying 500 dollar phones, etc. Wouldn't that be the definition of irony?
