American Spring: The Documentary

Even the cold early spring of 2012 could not deter Occupy Wall Street (OWS) activists in New York city. People from different backgrounds continue to come out onto the streets. The agenda driving all the protesters remains the same: income inequality, corruption among banks and multinational corporations, foreclosures, climate change, police brutality and above all, the need to get together and talk in person -- not just via mobile phones. It is all about the courage of ordinary men and women to tell the truth to those who hold power.

I thought that in the US you can legally overthrow the government if it it is corrupt according to their constitution.

[mrthompson878]

More patriotic than the Memorial Day parade.

This douche thinks that if the apex of ones reading experience is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand they are no longer qualified to comment on societies ills. However if you have read Marx on Dialectical Materialism,that Automatically qualifies you to comment on social-economics issues. However, this dip thinks that if you have ever read Marx, you are empowered by the utopian belief that “Want,” is a Capitalistic notion and that Socialism allows people the freedom of this burden of want. UNTRUE

[fukc hoe]

social services? this isnt fuckin socialism, go fuckin work for your own living

[fukc hoe]

[thirteenburn]

BLAH-BLAH-BLAH... Now nothing but old news and other than it fucking up NORMAL WORKING PEOPLES WORK DAY, no one REALLY cared, hence this bullshit is now, GLADLY a faded, bad memory.

I have never seen a bigger douche on you-tube than this Baroness Vontinkelhausen. He wants to sound intelligent by using BIG WORDS to impress others. His Marxist, anti-capitalist argument is one that impresses only those who have not clearly read history. There are flaws in capitalism no doubt, but compared to the so called "socialist utopia," where the government doesn't control most, it controls all; leaves it (capitalism) as the only choice for a FREE society. Do you want to be free?

You think peaceful protests will overthrow the corrupt governments, medias, corporations, banks, etc?

You think peace overthrew the governments of Egypt, Tunisia, etc? You think peace will conquer Syria?

[mykebulvai]

...okay...

[mykebulvai]

Cynical? Perhaps. But you can't deny they've run out of steam. Occupy is dead.

[Baroness Vontinkelhausen]

Wow, you're really easily offended. I don't need to 'try to sound intelligent', I gave a rational response to a common ideological attack. Your argument is used across the board to discredit social movements, it has dangerous effects on public opinion, yet it's logically flawed, and anyone who's read any critical theory in the last century would know this. If you don't understand my reasoning you should have admitted so or said nothing at all; resorting to playground banter is just pitiful.
