Typical Peace Rally: Protest Capitalism, Then Go To Starbucks!

Anti-corporate rebels get caught on tape while patronizing decadent Starbucks en masse as they protest imperialist War For Oil™. Turns out rebellion doesn't get in the way of consuming corporate products, burning oil, and drinking plenty of Lattes! Filmed on March 18, 2006.

If people didn't wear clothes bought from shops, they'd be arrested for indecent exposure. Cars are useful because they get you around faster. They sell their posters and so on, so they can make more with the money they get. Look at the whole picture - they have no choice but to become a part of the system, ot they would die of starvation.

However, this makes them VICTIMS of capitalism, not capitalists or hypocrits themselves.

Millions actually have died of starvation and other causes when they attempted to switch from capitalism to something else. People are still dying of starvation in African countries run by socialist dictators supported by progressives like you.

[RedSquareEye]

But the point of this video is that the "liberals" always call for sacrifice - FROM OTHERS! - while they themselves sacrifice not one iota of their own comfort. They just play revolutionaries and it hardly ever goes beyond that. While at the same time, elsewhere in the world, people keep suffering and dying because our "liberals" support their "progressive" dictators.

I agree with that - we call them "Parlour Marxists" here, and yes, they are pathetic. Starvation in Africa could not be stopped any better if Capitalists were in power - people starve there for a number of reasons, bad allocation of resources, a harsh climate and so on - the socialists are probably stopping it better by not selling out their country's resources but centralising the government and taking full control over methods of production for the good of those starving people.

[RedSquareEye]

Yes, full control is the key! Only somehow the more socialist the country is, the more people starve. And not only in Africa. Do you see a pattern here? Hint: Ukraine in 1932 - 6 million sstarved to death - Walter Durante covers it up, glorifies Stalin in the liberal New York Times, and receives a liberal Pulitzer Prise for it.

I love your sense of irony.

You've got to admire their unwavering hypocrisy.

[DawnOfTheDead991]

What a load of BS, so they went to Starbucks, how freaking evil. This is nothing but the crassest form of strawman arguments. "These commies all hate capitalism but look they go to Starbucks"

[DawnOfTheDead991]

@RedSquareEye There was a little more to The Famine in the Ukraine than Socialism, his name was Stalin and he did it because he hated the Ukraine.

[Patchman123]

They're pathetic losers who are pseudo communists and capitalists AT HEART who love total government. Fascists anyone?

[DietLite1986]

I love oleg.

@eaglepies they take control of production instead of letting their people be free to produce. now those starving poeple have to jump through hoops to meet with regulations and taxes... big governmetn cant be funded without taxes. taxes come from producers. producers are in private sector ONLY. government only takes away from one and gives to another, but in doing so they diminish the capitol needed to invest and higher poeple. look at venezuela, poor people, rich politicians - socialism.

All people are equal, except when the majority rules them less equal?
