He's Spartacus

daveholmes:

I’m sure you’ve all seen this knee-slapping piece of false equivalency by now. SO FUNNY AND TRUE except nobody’s saying there shouldn’t be corporations or products. And the point of the protests is not that we shouldn’t have good hair dye or street signs, but rather that corporations should maybe pay their fair share and/or not move jobs overseas. Also it would be difficult to record these protests on a homemade cigar-box camera. And this picture seems to be a direct rebuttal of that other recent picture, which exposed some clear hypocrisy (citizens demanding zero taxation while being kept safe and sound by the benefits those taxes pay for), while all this one exposes is that people tend to wear clothes when they’re outside. And social networking is not “by corporations” by and large. OTHERWISE RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

Way to get libertarianism completely wrong, Dave.

Street signs aren’t paid for by taxes. Taxes pay the interest on money that is borrowed into existence by the (private) Federal Reserve, thereby inflating us into poverty and serfdom.

As I said earlier today….

Hey, #Occupywallstreet, #UKuncut….

So you’re angry with banks and corporations? Nothing wrong with that.

Where did you buy the food you ate yesterday? How did you pay for it? Cash? Credit card?

Did you phone anyone? Send an email? Post on a blog?

Are you demanding that your government “does something” to rein in capitalism (which isn’t capitalism at all, by the way, but that’s another story)?

If the answer to that last question is “yes”, as I suspect in the vast majority of cases it is, then all you are doing as you march, bellow “revolution” through a megaphone or call for higher taxes, is sustaining the very corporate machinery that you want to bring down.

The best thing you can do to hurt global corporatism (which, I repeat, is not capitalism) is….absolutely nothing.

Instead of a day of action, have a day of inaction; a do nothing day.

Or better yet, walk or cycle to where you’re going, grow your own vegetables, keep a few chickens, buy your food direct from a local producer…. the corporations, who are laughing at you right now, will hate you for it.

Are you really serious about stopping the banks and corporations? Do you really want to be free?

You are being led by the nose by the unions and the activists, who are as much part of the unspoken quid pro quo between the banksters and statism as any Wall Street fatcat.

You’ve been misled. You’ve been took. Time to educate yourselves.

Start here.

Good afternoon to you.
