SOLIDARITY

[Hubert Flottz]

1. Good

I hope it turns into another Egypt!

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. It will turn into something

Egypt, you need this nationwide and a national strike essentially.

[Hubert Flottz]

7. I know, but I have to play like I don't know.

I'd be a "Terra-ist" if I didn't play like I don't know I'm getting shafted 24/7, by our fearful leaders.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Well on the bright side, this is the

beginning of the counter revolt as it were.

As I said the other day, we are finally at the Take to the streets point.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. When the thieves finally do attack Social Security the shit will

hit the fans.

Big Twouble!

The powers that be think that they are the only ones entitled to any "entitlements."

They act like our money that was withheld from our paychecks all our working lives, is theirs!

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. It is already hitting the fan I think

this is the leading edge.

[calimary]

35. Not enough.

Not NEARLY enough.

And btw - it just occurred to me and everyone should keep in mind:

On EVERY major broadcasting operation on which you may be following the Wisconsin news - the people you're listening to are union members. I think even Pox Noise is an AFTRA shop. And they WILL be in an uproar if something threatens their benefits. I have friends in both AFTRA and SAG, and if it weren't for some basic (and WAY too minimal) union benefits, they would NOT be able to make it at all. And NOT ONE of them could be EVER described or dismissed by ANYBODY as lazy nogoodniks who are just sucking off the system. NOT ONE of them. NOT ONE.

8. Good it's covered, but

the "I hope it turns into another Egypt!" part is ridiculous. What does it even mean? Overthrow the government? Replace Obama and COngress by a military junta led by Gates and Mullen? What? Silly....

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. What about the OTHER reaction to something similar

NEW DEAL?

[Hubert Flottz]

31. No, I'm talking about the people taking to the streets and going

for a real democracy. Instead of a fascist corporate state, where the corporation's votes are the only ones that count.

21. Is there a live cam?

I'd like to check it out

[Atman]

22. They want to get something big started here in the U.S.

Worldwide protests...chaos, disorder, food prices rising, rich getting another tax break...dammit, the prisons are ready and they're empty! Why is the U.S. so late in getting the rioting going? Hmmm...maybe if we show some on TV this time, it'll get the party started.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. This falls in the category of be careful what you wish for

[Atman]

27. Forgot my sarcasm smiley

Believe me, I'm not wishing for this. My point was, it seems that the media and the corporate puppetmasters are wishing for it. They shat upon us twelve ways to Sunday and still we just sit in our Barcaloungers and watch American Idol (idle?). They're probably baffled as to why we aren't rioting, so they figure maybe they just need to light a fire under our asses. Good for ratings, good for business (theirs, not any of ours). I swear, it seems everything they've been doing in Washington and corporate America (redundant?) has been almost DESIGNED to piss people off, and to see how far we'll be pushed.

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. actually it is worst

they think they can get away with it due to the last thirty years.

[bigmonkey]

34. Your perspective seems like a faith of disappointment

No reaction to oppressive policies - bad
Reaction to oppressive policies - bad, maybe worse

Nothing ever does, or ever can, get better. Is that what you actually think?

[bigmonkey]

32. You have a very strange perspective.

No reaction to oppressive policies - bad
Reaction to oppressive policies - bad, maybe worse

Nothing ever does, or ever can, get better. Is that what you actually think?

[Atman]

37. You really thought that reply deserved to be posted twice?

Of course I don't think that nothing does, or ever can, get better. Where did you come up with that shit? Because I think the media is helping foment the "revolution?" Have you been paying attention to the news lately? Strange stuff is going on in the world. How does that mean I don't think things will ever get better?

BTW, you DID read my follow-up post about the :sarcasm: icon before you replied (twice), correct? Just making sure you're actually following along.
