The Revolution: Part 2

[Despanan]

You do realize the documents prove that occupy was being monitored as domestic terrorists before occupy even happened, right? The documents go back to August 2011. Zuccotti wasn't occupied until Sept. 17th 2011

[Phantomgrift]

You do realize I've stated I don't care.

Events like Occupy always end up attracting personalities from the likes of ELF, ALF, etc.

You do realize I'm giving you crap about your belief that the news media is blatantly not reporting on OWS and/or providing biased reporting.
You do realize that you haven't given any evidence to provide more than a conspiracy level idea of "proof" to support that belief?

The only thing you've provided is proof that the FBI is monitoring a fringe group. Big whoopty doo, that's kind of their job.
Heh. Well, you've also provided proof that you know how to poorly photochop your avatar. I suppose I'm meant to be insulted or find any significance to that outside of the juvenile silliness it is?

Wait! Even better! I just realized you could totally shoop your avatar onto that facebook photo of yours! You know, the one where you're holding a knife, posing and trying to look deranged/intimidating!

That would totally make me feel all threatened and stuff!
Huzzah for internet tough guys!

I enjoy how you like to use biased and alarmist wording to pose opinionated hypotheticals.

In a courtroom, they would call it leading the witness.
You go directly off of assumptions like "non-violent protest movement".

I know that not everyone involved with OWS is a complete jackass, but when you consider the actions of certain members, especially in California and the West Coast, you would have to be blind or naive to constantly tote yourself as a "non-violent movement" when members who use OWS as a chance to commit violent acts of protest or vandalism are the reason they are on FBI watchlists in the first place.

You also continue to post dismissive handwaves as you routinely do.
I lambast you in mockery for giving off the impression that you believe a great, vast conspiracy is ongoing by the mainstream media to discredit OWS; Or how you guys aren't getting proper coverage because of the slanted mainstream media.

When asked about this, you simply cough up evidence highlighting that the FBI is monitoring a group known to harbor and/or be used by members of domestic terrorist groups.

I've already brushed you off. Nothing that myself or others will say will dissuade you from your belief that OWS is 100% a peaceful organized charity group, and anyone that alludes otherwise is a big meanie out to serve a broad slander movement against you.

It's almost as though you don't read any of the news you don't want to see. The members of businesses that were harassed because they didn't show enough support to OWS. Or the ones that were small business owners who had their daily working schedules severely impacted because a dearth of liberal-minded yahoos had decided to park in their area and effectively chase off their customer base. Urinating/shitting on cop cars or in public places, outright vandalism ranging from minor graffiti to severe property damage. (In the case of Oakland California, severe property damage to various shipping ports that had little or nothing to do with OWS griefs, but were targeted in the name of OWS simply because that demographic like to use such things as an excuse to commit such shenanigans.)

Etc.

Again. The FBI has worked to monitor OWS, because for every "peaceful" sap that waves a sign, there are those who actively use OWS as yet another excuse to commit acts of violence or destruction.

I'm sorry that at your age, you're blind to such activities. I've seen no media conspiracy, and I'm personally amused that you're bothered by the fact that the FBI is doing their job. Namely, investigating and/or preventing acts of violence or destruction within Federal borders.

Carry on you anarchic-loving little shit. Carry on proudly.

So I'm scratching my head with the "Watch Reality Shows" and "Submit To Wall Street".

Reality Shows are driven by the very people who star in and watch them. The target demographic is either as dumb as the people on the show, or watching so they can mentally pat themselves on the back and say "At least I'm not as big of a loser as these trainwrecks."

And "Submit to Wall Street"? Really? Most average citizens couldn't remotely begin to tell you how the Stock Exchange works. They don't "Submit" inasmuch as they simply ignore it overall because anything else would require work and actively learning about something they don't care about.

Personally, I've never seen where giving people healthcare takes away freedom. I have seen where a giant bill that no one has apparently read demands that I pay for something I have no interest in or risk fines and imprisonment. That's not "taking away freedom", that's you trying to force a service upon me that I have no desire to utilize.

It would be akin to Target declaring they were going to give away free crap for some people, but everyone had to pay for it if they wanted to or not.

As a political cartoon, this one is pretty crappy.

Dude, that's fucking Rowdy Roddy Piper, that alone makes it awesome.

Reality tv shows are big money shot on a comparatively tiny budget, and push materialism and vapidity: two of the most desireable characteristics in a capitalist's consumer market.

And "submit to wall street" pretty much IS ignoring/not understanding wall street, because it's ignoring the rampant, unpunished crime and political manuvering that goes on there literally every day.

But why the fuck am I even bothering to tell you this Phant? You're the honey boo boo of CB.

[Phantomgrift]

No, that's a poorly drawn political cartoon referencing Rowdy Roddy Piper.
You appear not to understand the twisted cycle that is hollywood and the viewing public.

Crap like Reality TV continue to get churned out because studios have found that people will give them large wads of cash if they continually cater to the lowest common denominator.

What makes more money in the U.S. and Internationally? That one indie-film that won something or another at the Cannes Film Festival? You know, the one with the forgettable name that had actual story, development and sincere acting?

Or giant sets of Transformer balls and explosions?

There is a reason Michael Bay is richer than God, and it has nothing to do with shadowy corporations or backing by the greedy rich 1%.
Michael Bay gave the general viewing public what they wanted, and they practically threw their money at him.

In the same vein, the problem with reality tv cannot be shoehorned into a rather mediocre political cartoon without looking at all the factors across the board.
But why the fuck am I even bothering to tell you this Desperent? You never listen to anything other than your own bloated rantings because you're ever so much smarter than the rest of us.

TL;DR: You're still a misguided idiot no matter how hard you try to pretend otherwise.

Phant is overanalyzing a "They Live" reference because he doesn't undersand the difference between "along with" and "in league with".
