about 100 people had a sit-in on wall-street, and twitter has blown it up to exponential levels, it's great to see.

Just google it. It's a little over 20 days old and it's spreading around the nation.

JPMorgan just "donated" something like 1-2 million dollars to the NYPD for their protection, lmfao.

Same. I still agree with your earlier statement an armed revolution would fare better.

That isn't ironic at all. Ironic would be if you were telling people to rebel and then one of those people ended up killing you in the process or something.

It's sad you have to explain what irony really is.

I'll Occupy your Wall Street. ;)

But in all seriousness, I've been watching this for a while. The Priestess was actually one of the 100.

Isn't blood irony?

It would probably be more accurate to say that blood is watery. Sure, blood has iron in it, but compared to other stuff the iron is pretty insignificant.

Good luck staging an armed revolution against our government. If the status quo is threatened, it's very likely that many will die. But that's the price you have to pay I guess.

Yeah, and armed revolution would certainly not be easy. Things like SWAT are basically anti-civilian tools to be used by the government. Tools with serious training. Plus, civilians cannot have technology good enough to even have a chance in an armed revolution, so there's that, too. Honestly if the elite didn't need us to stand on, they would probably just destroy us all.

Aligning our "new" country(ies) with theirs would sound like a fair deal.
At this point, I wouldn't mind becoming a British colony, if it fixed things.
