It is wrong to downplay the revolutionary attitude that these people have. We have so many different problems and of course everyone is out there for their own reasons, some are more well spoken than others and some are more level headed than others. The only good thing this video has to say is that people came out some they could feel like a part of something. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and, in fact that is how it should be.
In Denmark (I think its Denmark) university education is free (paid for by taxpayers), which is why all McDonald's there have at least 3 PdDs working in the kitchen.
I know you made this video to shit on the movement here in MN, but I think you really captured what's great about it. Our generation has not had that one polarizing movement that has brought so many different people to just take to the street to do SOMETHING, just anything! Things are fucked in so many different directions, I don't expect every person there to articulate the interconnectedness of everything because they each have a story that led them there to that very day.
Mike, I love ya buddy and agree with most of this video. But it is true that the government loves debt slaves and wants more debt to keep their monetary system going. Go check out the movie Debt Slaves.
They are not there to protest capitalism you fool they are protesting CORPORATISM which a is a major difference! Your channel is very misinformed and biased to only pander to the right wing agenda and it is despicable.
LOL This guy is kind of funny. But only has these views because he was lucky enough to not fall victim to our current system. I ignore his ignorance and just appreciate the comedy part of it LOL
@dkornsb Actually, I've failed a few times. There is no ignorance here. There have been times (not that long ago) when there was no hamburger in the Hamburger Helper, making it just "Helper." So I know how much it suck to be down. You presumed I'm ignorant, but you're very wrong. The difference? I don't think I'm a "victim." I got up (twice) and kept fighting. Things are better now, but they could go south again. You know what I'll do if that happens? I'll get up. Good luck.
@screenwritermike Ye,You right i don't know how your live has been.If only everyone had your strength and courage.Let me ask you this though,have ever been at point in your live,and be honest,were you've had to sell your body(meaning prostitute yourself)just to pay bills or to support yourself and/or your family? I've met several young girls who have been down that road. And i bet if you experienced that situation for yourslef, no joke you would have a different perspective on our current system
@CBI616464 You're too presumptuous. I absolutely found common ground with the tea party immediately, they were pissed about the bailouts, so was I, then the tea party was totally and purposely misled toward other peripheral issues under an umbrella of "fuck government period"
We need to deflect external influences on politicians so all corporations have an equal playing field, so defense contractors don't govern when and how long we go to war, so we separate commercial & personal banking!
If there's one thing I learned from my father and serving in the military, nothing is free, you must pay for everything you have. I am middle class. I work my ass off to for the things I need and want. I don't need a hand out, I don't want a handout. Quit being fucking lazy! Earn! Provide! Fuck this whole communist/socialist idea of working to distribute wealth. Lazy assholes. Down with corporations they posted with their smart phones to Facebook. Stupid ass hypocrites.
@NWsubmom This movement should be called "THE BOWEL MOVEMENT" because all these JEALOUS "USEFUL IDIOTS" want to do is SHIT on those that have achieved financial success.
Hey! All these people are right! Some SOB is PICKING all the money off the trees before they can get any! These poor people! Did their mommy and daddy tell them they wouldn't let them have their bottle any more, and that they'd have to get out of their play pen when they were 21? How mean can some mommies and daddies be?????????
Hey Mike, I haven't seen my video reply on your channel yet. I'm guessing you don't want to feature it. How about a challenge. We were both there on the same day and we both shot video. You're a screen writer, I'm an editor. How about you come over with your footage and we will combine it with mine. I will buy you a sandwich and we will have fun making another video for your channel. One that combines fiction and fact and mixes it together in another fun video. What do you think Mike? Dan.
Glad you're honest to say you are not a journalist and not reporting objectively or accurately. Your story is a fairy tale with a righty-tighty ending. Too bad you didn't encounter the eloquent people I did who expressed their feelings and were not maligned and made fun of by a divisive person like you. I'm not a journalist either so I know it's hard to not inject commentary but I try to keep my videos honest. I posted a video reply. You need to approve it to run on your channel.
lol you didnt let anyone intelligent talk. the one you said smelled like something is a personal friend of mine and you didnt show a word of what he said. i know he knows exactly what hes at that rally for and could have given you some good points. but you just talk shit and edit him out. your just as bad as the mainstream biased media you fuck. btw im a conservative/independent
Wow, what terrible video editing. It's so obviously apparent how you took everything people said out of context, and ignored anything worth value. It's a simplistic joke to watch this video, and any point you were possibly trying to prove is too absurd to even consider.
My speakers aren't working, so I wasn't really sure what was going on in this video. Everyone seemed pretty friendly though, except for the blob with the snarky look on his face at the beginning.
I know you didn't go looking for the most ridiculous people you could find and twist everything to make this movement look as stupid as you can and no one paid you to do it, come lie to my face and see if i don't bust your teeth out of your fucking fat ass mouth you fucking bitch to the rich!
Next time try including all of your questions and filming more than just 10 of them. You're far from a screen writer. Screen editor is a better title.
I love this video and I love all you people who are "haters" of it. Now you know how it feels to be on the other side of people like Michael Moore. A little taste of your own medicine - a little bitter isn't it? :)
I think you should COME DOWN and check it out yourself instead of getting your information from someone who ALREADY ADMITTED his bias agenda to not honestly report whats going on here...
Don't judge until you come down and talk with people.
Let me be clear to everyone here. I am NOT a journalist. Let me repeat. I am NOT a journalist. There is no pretense of fairness or objectivity. None. Is that clear?
@screenwritermike I'm glad you are honest in your unfair heavily edited bias propaganda you are putting out here.
Do you really feel good about yourself? Do you honestly believe that you are representing what these people are here for?
I will not insult you; however you should realized that you have insulted many and are part of the problem with society today...no one cares about being honest or actually "listening" or "discussing" things with each other.
I do have a request Mike. Post some unedited clips of people talking and some of the interviews with people who are good interviewers and were not caught off guard by your interview style.
I was in the video in the white T-shirt with the planet on it and would love to see my interview on youtube unedited.
@screenwritermike glad we're clear you make a horrible journalist- don't quit your day job. I did like your established pretense of no fairness or objectivity though LOL is that why you were linked from theblaze?
Proud to come across as stupid as those you sought out to portray that way.
@screenwritermike Holy Shit. She's a conservative and doesn't even know it. Not quite sure how she doesn't know that by now. Maybe she had an epiphany today.
Thanks for the video Mike; I am also not a journalist and have no interest in profiting off of pointing out the obvious flaws in an unstructured protest that no one can define the purpose of (yes, I've asked too). Do you know when Occupy Wall Street is going public? I've heard they raised a lot of capital and I am really excited about shorting them when their IPO is released. Stop Occupying Wall St dot Org
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i was interviewed by this guy. he stuck the camera in your face before he even asked you anything. his attitude reflected his disdain of the event even during his questioning. it makes me wonder who pays you to create this crap, mike.
@rspaulding - this is exactly the sort of media coverage we saw with the tea party protests. bring a camera and you'll find someone to make an ass of themselves... on either side of the political spectrum.
@rspaulding Funny how you assholes didn't say the same thing about how MSNBC and CNN blatantly slandered the Tea Party with biased coverage. Hypocrite.
@DeathToLiberalism Funny how you only see in Red and Blue. "Since he don't liek dis video he must be a CNN watching, Obama voting, unamerican, liberal yankee butt humper! DERP!" I wasn't watching ANY of the mainstream media garbage. Thanks to my own involvement and thanks to independent media, I was fully aware of the well-meaning constitutional origins of the Tea Party and it's subsequent hijacking by the the neo-con republicans to siphon votes.
didn't you complain because the media only interviewed idiots at the tea party?
It's not anti-corporate it's about revoking corporate rights as persons. It's not about handouts or govt provided jobs it's about creating an environment for small business to thrive
End the Fed. Bring back Glass Steagel, revoke the new clause of USC441b that allows the formation of "SUPER-PACS,"
We want a government for and by the people, when did that become socialism?
Wow totally incorrect within seconds- it's not an anti capitalism rally.
Can I exist if I dont fit your narrative?
I worked in highschool to save for college, now I work part time in college, no days off. I have NEVER asked for a handout.
I am a conservative and a republican voter, I went to occupy because our government is spending WAY TOO MUCH because certain banks, multinational corporations and defense contractors hold dramatic influence in congress through corrupted campaign finance laws.
@poorandimmature Well, you might've been at the wrong rally. You want to limit influence? Limit government power, not the other way around. If there's less government to influence, there'll be less corruption. I think we're probably on the same page.
@screenwritermike I wasn't at the wrong rally, if you now realize you can find people you're on the same page with ( I want to reduce the size of government, make it less vulnerable to external influences other than the vote base and end the federal reserve) We're at least on the same page enough to have a legitimate conversation.
Mustn't you then acknowledge how your irresponsible and dismissive journalism is helping to keep Americans divided and incapable of constructive discourse?
@poorandimmature If you look at your counterparts in the crowd and what they were protesting/stood for/stood against/believed in/etc., you probably were in the wrong crowd. At least that would be the case if the MN version was anything like the NY version.
@limersbey I went to both, apparently I'm the only one. Why is everyone else so prone to the atmosphere of animosity between different modes of thinking? I went to occupy, you can't tell me it's an anti capitalist movement that is an imbecile's claim and a fool's belief. I went with my friend who manages his own business at 22, he works every fucking day, no government handouts. Now we're socialists because we're against Wall St's / Banks / Defense Contractors influencing our govt more than us?
It is wrong to downplay the revolutionary attitude that these people have. We have so many different problems and of course everyone is out there for their own reasons, some are more well spoken than others and some are more level headed than others.
