Its not about communism r00t. Its about corruption, oppression and tyranny. The greedy capitalist pigs are the ones pushing for this corrupt version of socialism to push America over the brink.

If I had income at all, or income over "just surviving" I would be stockpiling for the rebellion. I would be flying over cities air dropping pamphlets with survival tactics and military tactics.

Americans are lazy and greedy and full of fear. Alex Jones won't even call for Armed Rebellion at a single place and time.

We have a duty and responsibility to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and the greedy do not get to abuse whatever system we have in place regardless of what that system may be.

No one is following their duty. The rich, especially.

They will gladly let us pay for it in concentration camps and starvation, misery, and 80 hr work weeks at 3 part time jobs with no overtime.

But we have always been at war with Oceania.

In seriousness, I always observe how people conceptualize "the rich." Decades of Fox and Limbaugh have many working stiffs *defending* the rich. Standing up for them. Being offended that any complaint is levied against them.

I know a fair amount of very wealthy people, even though my career leaves me dirt poor. A fair amount of them are true scumbags, like children, simple minded and vindictive and greedy. Others are fine. But lots of them are as I say.

And what is great wealth in such hands? A weapon. The thug on the street menaces and gets his kicks off of menacing, with a gun or his tuff presence.

There are lot of such people like that among the wealthy. Immature, bullying little punks. And wealth is a pretty big gun.

If you don't think we have to watch out for hostile and belligerent billionaires, you have bought into a fable. The rich can be scumbags, too.

The bottom line for the tl;dr crowd is, we have to watch out for punks everywhere. Poor punks, and rich punks. They exist.

And why should the rich ones not get put in their place just like the poor ones?

Indeed. I do not want the rich to look after me. I want people to look after themselves. The rich keep on this tangent. And I mean Bank of America, BP, Dupont, Raytheon, Congress rich. They don't want a bunch of angry thugs. They may want to consider using their wealth to look out for the big bullies that morans like me can't even comprehend.

Just a suggestion )

It will help ensure they stay rich. While not insanely so.

smitez is the only one that pointed out what hbb did, and took it to its nihilistic end. hbb you need to evaluate your views in comparison to early fascist rhetoric, you're more of a fascist than you realize.

I get so sick of people bitching about the wealthy all the time. There are actually wealthy people out there who worked very hard to get what they have - and they give a lot back to society; whether through donating to charity or setting up scholarships or employing people in their communities. I have respect for that. Why don't you?

If thats directed at me. I do. But what 1% of the 1% do does not exonerate the 1%.

Unfortunately there is so much wrong with our society that the reform we need needs to come from everyone. Not just the oppressed.

There's a lot in the middle and on the top who aren't going to suffer right off the bat. But they will suffer when the system starts falling apart.

George Washington a fine example of a good wealthy person. Howerd Hughes another fine example. Larry Lessig another outstanding example. Yossie Hollander a fine example.

The list goes on of wealthy or just simply well off people doing the right thing. But they are not enough alone to help turn America around. Then you have people like the NSA Chief. Rupert Murdoch. Those at the G80 summit. Oil executives. Probably a million middle men working int he loan industry that KNEW better.

The list is long on both sides. Unfortunately the corrupt wealthy way outway the number of good wealthy. Making us proles extremely angry.

So fuck Oceania. They don't care about us enough to shake up their little club.

If you think the poor have any representation. Any say in Law. Copyright, politics, industry, legislation, how schools are fun. You are delusional as well. That shit all comes down from the top. Where products got made. How industries are subsidized. What research becomes public.

The man at MIT killed himself for making many attempting to make many publicly funded research papers public.

Sears has been sitting on all kinds of research because its still more productive for them to sell shit.

***how schools are run

And what about those people who don't even need to worry about dumbshit like comcast fucking people over or the NSA because they can simply just buy a VPN or run their own ISP. Giving them free reign over information while poor people are getting dragged into court for sharing a 5$ song amongst there friends. Something they would have done just through a different network in 1980. (If you don't think casette tapes and sneaker net was on the scale of the internet, trust me everyone was doing it, and the cassette tape industry was probably in scale with an ISP industry)

Shit like this keeps poor people down. Ensures they scrape by just for their entertainment. Ensures that truly enlightening pursuits are perpetually out of their reach.
