--- Quote from: Teddy Roosevelt on October 15, 2011, 10:23:04 PM ---What I want to know is why aren't these fucks protesting in Washington DC? 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.

(Cornel West just came home)
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

They need to protesting at the White House and U.S. Capitol.

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?
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
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?

At least Russell gets it.

1st off (on some real shit) none of us even know if those labels are even accurate. I mean really, "makeup by Proctor & Gamble". So dont go puttin your hands over your face and ears just yet.
2nd, even though some of it can be true or you could use it as a hypothetical example it still means shit when we all shop at the same franchises (becuz they've monopolized) and we all pretty much want the same typa shit.
3rd, where else are you going to get metals, cottons already picked and made into clothes, corn in the winter and there's snow on the ground, and so on. The picture is pretty redundant in reality. I'm not going to get carried away becuz this is the internet. I'm not saying ALL corporations are evil (becuz that would be naieve too) but ALOT goes into making what we Americans (old and young) label as "necessities".
All I'm saying is that it's simpler to buy a phone contract or already made shirt than to find metal, break it down and mold it, build all of the insides to the phone and all of it's little details, hack into a network, and all of that other shit just to call somebody and let em know to give me my money. I'm not on no Rambo shit trying to go outta my way when it comes to trying to get in contact with somebody real quick. But don't get it twisted, I'm on the side of the people. All it is is simple sarcasm.

This is one of the more funnier things I've seen. That picture sums it on. Greatness.
A bunch of fucking unemployed people telling trillion dollar corporations, "You're making a gazillion dollars! Either give it to us or stop making money!".
I'm ready for some Communism, bring it on.
