I'm all down with this, I'm pro-left, but why didn't they "shut this city down?" How come in America we don't do it like they do it in Greece or in Chiapas?
@kamakazicj94 the US has a lot more jail cells to fill... lack of sufficient numbers and creative attack strategies... these could be some of the reasons IMO
One of my friends wrote a story about this lady who set up a wildly successful "counter capitalist" (not socialist) business, where she, the executive, earned, like, $12,000 bucks, and the workers earned up to 60 K.
Then we showed it to another friend's uncle, a devout socialist. He called it so unrealistic, that the first friend wasted his time writing it.
So what if that actually DID happen in the real world (it does, in the govt, but I mean with private enterprise?)
Chances are, American communists, or at least 90% of them, are not actual communists. They're like emos. They say they're emos, but when they meets someone who is actually cutting their wrists and feels suicidal, they don't want to have anything to do with emos.
Socialists say they're for the people, and I believe them on that. But send them to Cuba or North Korea for about 5 years. Watch how fast they'll change their mind and just call themselves "anti-capitalists".
@TourettesSomething What I mean is, people are innately drawn to rebellion. Any rebellion, so long as it's no pro-fascist (how are people still drawn to government run socialism, if that's the case?)
It's a stupid organization with a bunch of stupid kids that are nobody in life and want to prove something just rebeling and breacking stuff, whatever, SAD
One, its not an organisation, dumb shit. Two, learn how to spell before calling people stupid. I'm glad I'm not a brain-dead sheep like you. Run along now little sheep, work and please your fucking government master!
Im portuguese, i speak your language and you don't speak mine...
sheep?in wich fantasy world do you live?i don't give a fuck about my government and if i did i wouldn't be on the fucking street destroyng other people shit, that's pointless
@FluxRostrum i know what freedom is but how are we going there either a bloody or peaceful revolution but there has to be a time where the people can stand on there own two feet plus we must not let the neo nazis win in anarchy. i think if people riot in Europe over social and economic issues their we can do the same here
@6yxz4 I think our species needs to evolve quite a bit before we can live freely in anarchy. We need to learn to support each each other instead of tearing down our neighbor for a foot up. then we can have Anarchy that works.
It just burns me up to see these people wasting there time Complaning. There not helping are troops by rioting. Those soldiers fought and died so as to keep Violence and Terrorism away from the U.S. and to protect us from it. These people think there doing good but are just acting like children trying to get attention. There keeping police officers from there important tasks like protecting
us from crime and saving lives. God Bless are Troops and Police Officers. Sorry about my spelling.
Well maybe jobs wouldn't be shipped over seas if the fucking greedy unions weren't trying to get $30.00 an hour for a $10.00 job. Fuck you losers. Get over it. You are now competing with a lot more labor markets who will take less money and who's fault is that? The union's fault, not the corporations!!!! Your head is up your ass. And fuck the Black Bloc !!! A bunch of losers and thieves!!! Go live in Serbia if you dont like it here!!!
Why aren't these people protesting the never ending war in Dumbestan? What a bunch of losers. They just go to these things to meet girls because it's "sexy" to be in a riot. They are all losers. Go live in North Korea if you dont like it here. The truth is we never had it so good. But there are still the losers who think the world owes them a living, free education, and a free cell phone. Go fuck yourselves losers. The police did a good job but should have kicked more ass!!!!
I think perhaps DeadJerker feels what many of us feel, in that these protests continue to be the only strategy filmed and distributed to those who feel a desire for change but are unsure as to what can be done. And so to all I suggest that the real protest is in your everyday choices... as for more direct action is concerned, I'm afraid that we don't yet have a secure forum through which to discuss the possibilities, so creativity must spring from your boiling frustration at this display.
Would you have even known that the G20 met in Pittsburgh if these protests did not occur? Wold you have any idea that the G20 might not have your best interest in mind if these protests did not occur? Whether it accomplishes anything or not is up to the people who learn from it's existence.
Your not changing shit your dumb cunts. People are just getting hurt and some killed. Its just peaceful meatings between countries and you change nothing but destroying public property and getting your selfs hurt. Get a job and stop detroying the public things your tax dollars payed for if you pay any.
Probly not the point is there trying to make a statement and they are there to make sure we know that they know whats going on, if this comference happened in my city you bet i would be outside there offices protesting these rich sick bastards
All peacefull protests, and all brainsucked americans is fucked up already, all of you not have power to eleminate the top of the elite and the police is not in the hand of the USA, but the hand of the smart elite. All shity bastards in the usa is already a slave. No change available.
You forget we have guns. Guns are the law when it is pointed at your face, or members of AIPAC. Who will stop us? Our own military? No, why? Because they see our side, and there family are the victims also. Things will change for better or for worse, but at least people know we don't support this bullshit government. No matter what Americans say or stand for, they are always shitty in others eyes. You underestimate citizen power. A revolution in this country, would be a gigantic one.
peaceful protest is a must. direct action for definite. violence as an absolute last resort. i love these kinda protests that have loads of different agendas.
Yeah, it is a great speech. But really, i used to think if you were born poorly, then be poor forever, just admit the unfairness of life.....I love all those people there on that day, to stand at the front line and fight on behalf of me. Thank you.
Don't see any of this on the corporate "news" propaganda channels.
White racists in the anti-war movement have been silent since Obama took office--let's hope they overcome their racism and decide to criticize the man who's now responsible for expanding the wars rather than being silent because he is black.
Cindy Sheehan has been the only prominent anti-war voice who has shown herself to be blind to race.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the corporate news propaganda channels are ALL owned and staffed by jews. Washington D.C. might as well be called, West Tel Aviv. The racism that White America had 60 years ago is what is needed today, but it's the god damn pro-diversity, multicultural, multiracial, communists that prevent that from happening. Communism makes everyone equal and claims there is no race but the human race, which is an utter and complete lie. Amerika is collapsing into Marxist Communism, created by jews..
damn. I'm really sorry. I can get to fixing it eventually, but not just yet. I'm sorry. I'v had about 18 hours of sleep in the last week and there's no end in sight.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why is it that it's always fat ugly lesbians and their minions that want to bring in a democratic society which is nothing but jewish communism which is what destroyed Russia and over 60 million people. this clip is full of socialist communist fucktards. capitalism isn't the problem, it's corporate greed which is facsism. your multicultural, diverse, communist, agendas are playing right into the New World Order or as I call it, the Jew World Order of COMMUNISM.
Anyway so I put a comment on your last vid that I wanted to come down to Pittsburgh but I couldn't. I met so many people last night here (Indiana, PA) from Pitt. that said they got the hell out of there for the weekend because the place was crazy. They were showing me pictures of the city and the place was trashed. One dude I talked to even got tear gassed and he wasn't even protesting. Great vid though Flux 5*
protesting also just gets a message out and on the street in ways other than the media, which isn't sympathetic to the causes supported by the protesters. but yes, some of them do look like hippies. hippies aren't the worst subculture at least...
I agree with the sentiments, and I'm surprised and glad to see the amount of turnout, but I'm not quite sure what the hoola-hoops, bandana's, poetry and all the other run of the mill symbolic histrionics and counter culture hairstyles add to the effort, besides the stereotype of a bunch of goofy hippies for observers to think of and generally ignore then move onto something else.
Though the storm trooper mocking at the end was entertaining.
you remember those hoolahoops still. so what does acting collectively against oppression in a joyous act of self expression add?
we have the right to peaceably assemble, to march or to hulahoop in the street , to defy convention.
human beings actually need poetry, symbolism, yes, even the freedom to be young & histrionic, to have funny hair. i am thrilled me to see that young and old will still risk great physical harm, hunger & exhaustion to demonstrate for freedom!
absolutely. if nothing else, they're just exercising their right to gather in public around some kind of cause. that action is always treated with hostility and fear but it needs to be done so that we don't lose the right to do it.
there's more to this particular protest than hula hoops & free speech...
these thousands demonstrating in the street represent millions of us in this country who want no more wars in our name, we want real strides toward nuclear disarmament, not just empty promises, we want an end to the stranglingcorporate rule of all bribed governments, to ecological destruction, to the oppression and genocide of poor peoples in the interests of the oil barons, the world banks, the big moneyed thugs.
yeah, I get it, people should be allowed to express their concerns and enjoyments by doing what they feel. however, unfortunately, for the rest of society that still doesn't quite understand that, these symbolic measures are really more just preaching to the choir. they don't really lend credibility to the protestors, in the eyes of the people who aren't protesting....which is kind of the goal of protesting...recruit more people to the cause. not to just dance around and protest general 'evil'
one way that what i'm thinking of could have a better effect, is to dress like those who you're trying to convince. they'll be much more open to listening. wear the button up shirts with the jeans, or suits even. look like a bunch of yuppies. then other people might be a little more intrigued and say to themselves 'hmm, wow, i didn't know that non-hippy and non-stereotypical-liberal types cared about this...maybe i should look into it to see what the fuss is about'
We are a byproduct of the system that enslaves us. We need to realize what is being done to us and wake up. Corporations are evil, Goverment has sold us out, we must awaken before it's too lalte. Rise up people.
i agree 100% just dont get hippies to sing makes us all look like hippies.
