Occupy Somewhere (Another C. Nic Rant)

Permanent Linkby NicS on Sun Oct 16, 2011 3:09 am

As much as I support the Occupy Wall Street movement (Or whatever the hell its called these days...), I think they're all idiots. They have no focus and they keep getting arrested for reasonable crimes. There has been reports of pot smoking in the parks, some protesters have hit cops, frankly, they're all idiots. Look, as much as I support the legalization of all drugs to seriously impair the spread of AIDS, its illegal now. And with the protest spreading to various countries like China and Boston, you can't have little kids ######6 things up.

You wanna know why the Tea Party got to be so huge? Paired with the love/hate attention from the media the OWS movement is getting right now, their goals were clear, and everybody knew them, even if they didn't know $#%^ about the subject matter. You had over 1 Million overweight white males, averaging 60-75 years of age, all who hated being taxes, with none of them being able to tell us what the tax code currently was, OR even telling any TV host what the taxes were used for. Their stupidity captivated me, which is why I paid attention to them for so long, because there was a host of other stupid people who agreed with the people who admitted they had no idea what the ###$ they were saying! And now their numbers are in decline, and the movement itself is basically a wash. Its gone, like the birther issue. Orly Taitz, AKA the "Birther Queen" has just gone away. BIRTHERS WERE THE CROWN JEWEL, NOW WHERE ARE THEY?!

The OWS movement is like the super liberal version of that. They're there, but they have no idea. They just know they hate something, and that something isn't taxes, but instead "Corporate Greed".

I used to believe that corporate greed was real. Then I took a step back, and realized I was liberal yuppie scum. I had believed everything Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow had said, and it paid off. I was over educated. I knew too much. And because I knew too much, I figured that's all I needed to know, and nothing more. Then I (Well, Nic really) looked at the other side. And... it made sense. Ish. The right wing is nothing more than a bunch of whining bitches with skinned knees at this point, and I ######6 hate them right now, and for good reason. They have said no to every Obama plan, even when it was their idea! They made 180's so fast Tony Hawk is still looking for his prosthetic leg in the bushes behind the halfpipe.

Corporations are run by people. Its not some ######6 computer that destroys $#%^ because it wants to, its people. And its not the stockbrokers and the bankers who like when the market fails. What is a bankers job? To hold money. And what if no one has money? The banker has no job. Same with Stockbrokers; if no one has money to invest, what the ###$ is he supposed to do?

Its the big guys, making millions a month, who have no idea what suffering is. As a DIDer, I think I get to speak here, but I don't really fit into this metaphor. Think of Mel Gibson humping flagpoles: Everyone else is watching him, thinking "What the ###$ is he doing?!" while he keeps doing whatever it is he thinks he's doing. The oft-repeated definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over, expecting different results. I disagree: My best friends are a serial killer and a neurotic mess. We live in harmony, and we still ###$ up on a daily basis somehow, by either spilling a drink or offending our mom. Our definition of insanity is being able to work together and not kill each other because something the other party does is ######6 stupid. Being able to listen to Orly Taitz talk nonsense and be calm and rational, that's insane. Listening to an Al Jazeera reporter interview the biggest asshole in the world, Donald Rumsfeld, and be perfectly calm as Rummy doesn't answer a damn question is insanity. And allowing these assholes to make millions a month while the economy tanks for 3 years running is insanity on a mass scale, like Christianity or TMZ.

So the basic fact is this: These kids protesting are idiots, because they're protesting the wrong thing. Corporate greed doesn't exist. We have Enron and Whirlcom to prove it. The employees had no idea Kenneth Lay was an asshole who was stealing hundreds of millions of dollars; its not their fault. They couldn't have checked, anyway! There was no way to know! And yet, "######6 corporate greed, man". Thats all I hear, with no one explaining what it is in a coherent sentence. Its always the same junk: "The 1% takes it all, and the 99% has nothing". Going with that as a motivator is fine. But then there has to be a target. Who is the 1%? Is it Warren Buffet, the multi-Billionaire asking for higher taxes on the rich, exactly what they want? Berkshire Hathaway, Mr. Buffets company, earned $136 BILLION dollars in 2010. The company just owns other companies. And those companies, like it or not, are corporate icons because they're quality works. RC Willey? See's Candies? Geico? Dairy Queen? Fruit of the Loom? Helzberg Diamonds? How many of you reading this have bought ANYTHING from one of these places, and hated it? One thing, from Dairy Queen, that one time? Is that it?

The fact is now narrowed down and simplified: Go. Big. The guys who ###$ everything up, from Lloyd Blankfien (The only guy Nic has given TK the OK to kill if he ever see's him in person) to ######6 whoever is at the top that made everything worse, I don't care! Just go after the right people, not just "Corporate America". You depend on "Corporate America" to make your triple-shot double latte every ######6 day, so shut up and focus, or go home.
