We are trying buddy. havent you followed the ongoing battle between wall street suckups and the people on this thread?


To continue, see this interesting interview;

After being in Dublin, Athens, Cairo and Beirut recently I am watching the action on Wall St. and the first thing that I am struck by is that activists there believe that they just figured out this ‘Wall St. is killing us narrative’ and that their protest is the most important in the world suddenly. Yes, it’s ON WALL ST. but Wall St. itself, that is to say, the derivatives business and the WMFD’s, are no longer there. They are traded in powerful hubs in various global hot spots with London being the epicenter more than Wall St. But putting that aside, let’s face it, the US is by and large the beneficiary of the financial terrorism it creates and it’s tough to see these protesters as victims. Maybe next year when gas is $7 or $8 and unemployment has doubled again we’ll see something a bit more rough and tumble. But welcome NY to the global fight… You’ve got a toe in the water, let’s see what develops.

My, oh my. We have a real fascist online boys and girls.

Young Damocles, you have much to learn about the world. Metus est plenus tyrannis.

Do you even know what fascism is?

www.merriam-webster.com...

often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Does that sound, at all, like what I mentioned?

So rare to capture one in the act of puking out the regular fascist survival of the fittest propaganda.

Son, survival of the fittest is all there really is. Not that it has much to do with fascism. The Nazis don't really have a leg to stand on when it comes to their perfect race ideology. When I called you sub-human, it was merely a statement of fact. It has nothing to do with racial heritage and everything to do with me being better than you - something more akin to a god complex than anything. It is quite well deserved, as I am generally superior to the vast majority of people in both mental and physical pursuits - but, again, different from racism. Most people are little more than animals to me. I don't give a damned what their color is - an animal is an animal.

So how does that fascist shirt feel bobby joe? Is the fit ok? Are you sure you will look good at the next rally?

What shirt?

You simply stated that you would welcome a world in which people would go about hanging people simply because of their jobs and/or status of wealth. Sorry - that # doesn't fly with me, and I will exterminate such pests should they attempt such. If you cannot figure out how to live and function within society without the use of force - then you have no right to live.

I will not have my children growing up in a world where they purposely live below their potential out of fear of persecution. I will not see my brothers' children grow up in a world where the U.S. has become little better than Africa - where many are "employed" by war-lords extorting supplies from the few actually attempting to make a decent living.

The difference between you and I, my friend, is that I don't care what your income is. I really don't. Nor do I care what job you have or what you decide to do with your life.

You, however, seek to control the lives of others. You want to force others to provide you with a living you find fitting. You look at those with a greater income with envy and jealousy; the depths of which is determined only by the difference between your income and theirs.

All you are is a predator - a mindlessly consuming beast. I am not fooled by your message of "equality" and promise of deliverance from economic hardship. You want to bring Fascists into the issue - fine. Your message is the same as Hitler's. He blamed the Jewish bankers. He promised to deliver the nation from its economic crisis.

Well - Hitler was more cautious than you. He didn't publicly advocate slaughtering the Jews. He would have never risen to power if he had (the people would have wanted nothing to do with him).

Which is why I will squash your little 'revolution.' Nothing born of the same mantra as the Nazi's rise to power can possibly have any good come of it.

And this is why you are sub-human. You refuse to realize what a tool you are - how you are storming down the same path that led to some of mankind's darkest chapters. Though I suppose it displays my arrogance... as though my words are somehow going to make an animal into a sentient being. But, I suppose I enjoy debating on forums for the same reason I enjoy talking to pets.

Go right ahead and look at Libya. The protesters there - in all of their righteousness, are exterminating black Africans as we speak. Millions are being evicted - if not slaughtered in the streets.

That is the kind of world you invite into the U.S. with your attitude.

Do you really think you can handle the consequences of it?

You've killed all the bankers, then what? You've killed all the billionares... then what?

Before long, you begin to realize that you need a common enemy to persecute - another group to sacrifice - to maintain cohesion. You also begin to realize that you no longer have the means to support these people - to provide them with food, water, shelter - things many are starting to realize are absent despite your promises.

When is it that you will realize that you are the very tyrant you plan to slay, and that the same sword still hangs above you by a horse's hair?

I will tell you what, I have read the last 2 pages of this thread, hoping to get some summary of what is happening (Twitter is literally crapping itself over the whole #OccupyWallStreet thing represented in the OP). Instead I have gotten a display of what is wrong with American politics: no one knows what the hell they are talking about.

This may be the finest sentence, ever. I'm thinking of using it as my signature.
