A fun piece of reactionary topical literature

[the Left™]

As it pertains to Occupy Wallstreet

Cool story bro

Cool story bro

Couldn't have said ot better.:rolleyes:

[Ocean Seal]

Everything he said there may or may not be true. Except for one thing: I am not part of the 99%. If he is not part of the 99% everything he has said is false. Furthermore, who gives a fuck. He wants to be a happy wage slave, and laugh at those more miserable than him now, that's okay, fuck him. There are reactionaries, scabs, fascists, and others in the working class. He doesn't care where the majority of the country is headed, that's his problem.

There are workers all around who realize that we have a common enemy, and that yes the ruling class fucked up (more so than usual). There is unemployment, debt, and its worse than before. You want to accept concessions from your masters that's okay kid. We on the other hand don't. We deserve better, we all deserve better.

As I look back, I realizd just how much ideology we all absorbed, in junior high and high school, big, enormous doses of anti-communism. The idea was the US could do anything it wanted to, in the world, because we were a democracy (which has got to be a non sequitur), and being a democracy made us the most superior (is that redundant?) society on earth. If anyone had suggested to us, in the fifties and sixties, that the US population was being trained in an imposed state ideology, just like the population of the USSR, we would have denied it.

And the sad little self-description by the impoverished student, who thinks that poverty is his/her own fault, shows that ideological training continues in US society. It is disturbing that people here commonly blame themselves for economic problems that result, I would think, from decisions that the US public has no voice in, from a system of exploitation of the immense majority by a tiny, ultra-privileged, powerful minority. And the poster in the photo, with its slap at the current occupations ("I am not the 99%"), shows that those who swallow ruling-class ideology here, feel threatened by the emerging plebeian opposition to our common powerlessness.

Wasted 1 min of my precious life reading this.

[Dumb]

I went to UC Davis, a good - but not elite - school, and I know there's no way students could get a 3.8 GPA there while working full-time or even just 30 hours a week. I worked my tailbone off for a 3.5 with only occasional, seasonal work.

They have nice things and we deserve nice things also because....we want them :laugh:

There are some exceptions to a general rule, but the rules still apply to the majority of peoples.

We dont all jump from a plane without parachute beccause there was this one guy long time ago who survived the fall without one.

[tfb]

This guy went to a public university... Reminds me of when Craig T. Nelson said "I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No."

[Revolution starts with U]

You know... when you have a nice big plate of orange chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoon (?) in front, you use your chopsticks to pick up what looks like a piece of well glazed chicken, and its an orange peel... that is less pleasurable than when better things happen. :thumbup1:

[Metacomet]

I'd like to know where he lives and how "decently" he did in High School to get 90% of his expenses paid by two Scholarships :rolleyes:


I went to an instate school. Cost about $7000 a year. Plus housing. So...........let's say $13,000. The scholarships I got were like...............$2,000 for the first year. Nothing for the rest. :rolleyes: And I did well in high school
I worked
didn't have a car, IPad, fancy phone, or IPod
I didn't eat out every day. I didn't really spend any money on stuff really at all. Netflix, the occasional video game (like once every 2-3 months) and a rare drink.
And I still had to take out loans and am in debt...........hmmmmmm what did I do wrong?

[Aspiring Humanist]

I wonder how much Pell money he/she's gotten

[kapitalyst]

I love it! If I had to make a bet, I'd bet this kid does well for himself. Stop hating because someone has been financially responsible and promotes the idea.

[Metacomet]

I got that too.

Still wasn't the whole thing. :rolleyes:


Yea my problem is being financially responsible all right. I should stop buying so much.......................Ramen.

So nice that instead of responding to what he wrote, you decided to be an asshole. But hey no one's judging your insecurity Judicator.

[Drosophila]

He is supporting the system that is exploiting him and making his life suck. Why should we just ignore his idiocy?

[Judicator]

So nice that instead of responding to what he wrote, you decided to be an asshole.

That was a response to what he wrote. He claimed nobody could get a 3.8 at a state school with so little free time, I pointed out that there are differences in ability that could account for that.

Instead of responding to the point of the image, you attack me :rolleyes:

[La Comédie Noire]

You certainly could deny yourself pleasure and work yourself to exhaustion for the hope of a better future in the long run, but why? I mean I did the same thing, worked and went to school full time, but I didn't find it anything to be particularly proud of, actually I detested it greatly. I'd rather of lived a fuller life with an equal amount of leisure and work, the ratio of which I could change at anytime, while knowing my basic needs were going to be taken care of, ya know like an actual human being.

I guess that's the difference between those who just shovel the shit and those who love the taste of shit. It's also a neat rhetorical trick when he says "I don't expect much" what he really is saying is "don't expect much from this system."

[The Teacher]

He has created a good situation for himself. How does that make it okay for corporations to buy or electoral system?

[Rafiq]

These dogs of the bourgeoisie are just a response to what may be - the revival of class struggle internationally -. We saw these same pigs throughout the 20th century, the beggining and the middle. The point being is that they(the happy wage slaves) are just an irrelevant phenomena that will gain no popularity or support.

[ComradeMan]

We don't even know if this is real.... :rolleyes:
