Dear petrus4,
Do you support corruption? Do you support corporate control of the politicians? Perhaps you support the mainstream media being owned by only five companies?

I support decentralised urban farming and permaculture, implementation of alternative energy at an individual household level, and things like the Free Network Foundation; a decentralised, non-corporate Internet is something we really need. I also support the use of novel, and vastly more effective forms of alternative architecture, such as that taught by calearth.org.
However, here are a few things I don't support.
I don't support rioting.
I don't support direct attempts to confront police, whether armed or otherwise.
I don't support tactically inviable and ridiculous actions on the part of the naive, emotive, unintelligent, and immature, who are lured into shell games and attacking decoys and false targets (such as the police) as a means of distracting them from setting up a legitimate alternative infrastructure, which could get to the real source of the problem.
I don't support brainwashed, teenage V for Vendetta fanboys, who have no idea of what they want to accomplish, or how to accomplish it, but simply want to cause a disturbance and smash things.
Accusing anyone who has a dissenting opinion, of themselves being part of the problem, is pathetic and doesn't accomplish anything other than make you look brainwashed.

They want to accomplish change, that is all, a change in the state of things, very simple man.
Numbers dwindled to less than two dozen overnight on Wednesday. "I was dismayed by the number of people who stayed," said Sam DeLily, 23, from the New York borough of Queens. "I was disappointed that more people didn't realize we'd need a show of support last night more than ever."
The protesters in New York have also raised more than $500,000.
"We're going to occupy this park for a long time," said Jason Holmza, 30, of Washington State.
"Right now we've got to figure out where to turn our attention to."

With all due respect... if insurrection happens... it'll be TPTB that incited it... none else.

Another authoritarian OP advocating the status quo that is destroying the country and the world. Nothing to see here except the mass thievery, arrogance and oppression by the elite 1%, the manufactured deterioration of the middle class, the murderous contempt for poor people and the glorification of uniformed goons. Move along, citizen, this does not concern you. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
