CLASS WARFARE IN NEW YORK
Been watching the stream for a bit. As at all protests, the bongo players really do add an air of legitimacy.

Ugh... illiterate activism.
One influential article or book is worth more than 1000 street protests.

Yeah, I saw (

Not that I disagree much with the sentiment, but it's really a bunch of ineffectual, toothless ninnies, impotently expressing inchoate rage. Street protests are ridiculous to begin with, but Wall Street on a Saturday? It's a ghost town. All you're doing is disrupting the German tourists from taking pictures of Federal Hall.
Never mind the fact that there's a huge difference between the "corporations" and "bankers," and the problems caused by each are markedly different. An effective "protest" would understand and clearly delineate these differences. What they're screaming about is better served by a protest at GE, or ExxonMobil.
So ummm, yeah, bongo players, get on with your bad selves.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the chatbox. Maybe I should just settle for a headache.

Are they taking poor RBJ to the nuthaus?

Did anyone catch the bits where they were doing yoga? It was apparently planned as part of the protest.
I'm gonna eat alfalfa on rye until this system is dead in the ground!

The irony of your armchair smartassery seems lost on you. If you're really sympathetic to the cause why are you not making a better protest? Too busy bitching in gaming forums? :p

hm I must have forgotten having a big outburst of sympathy
