no war but class war!

Not that this idiot has ever been in a penitentiary, except in his television-soaked mind. But then again, when you hide behind a voice synthesizer and use a cartoon as your face, how can you express anything real?

They were also effective because they were appealing to voters to change laws. We're trying to destroy the state. Very different ends requiring very different means.

woah this is scary

@xbrandoncrisp if you can't look past a few swear words to get to the important content, then it is you who is the 10 year old.

Ghandi and MLK were effective because people were angry at watching peaceful demonstrators get their fucking asses beat. If MLK and co. never got all of those ass whippings, the movement wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

I Feared as much. The revolution that the egyptians paid for in blood and tears has been usurped and you have traded a visible dictator for the invisible iron grip of western neofacist-global-corpratism ism ism. You are now in the same boat as us, my friend. On the other hand, at least you guys know how to get things started;-)

And for everyone else here READ GELDERLOOSES BOOK before you open your trap. it is an eye opener, and you can get it on piratebay.

peace

The substance of the video is more than enough to stand alone without making it a little more extreme (or perhaps you are trying for humor) with the pointless swearing. Sounds like a 10 year old that just learned a few swears is being the master of ceremonies for someone who actually has something to say.

Take Egypt as example, while the events began very violent in 28 January (an even before in Suez), yes despite what the media may told you, there was very violent confrontations, in Alexandria we didn't leave a single police station unburnt, but when everything calmed down on 11 February it was easy for the Army's leadership to assume power (in the name of revolution!) and restore the regime.

now we suffer exactly the same system as under Mubarak's rule, same social injustice, same oppression..
