Aristotle Animes posted:No because pacifism is the hegemonic order of the day and until that gets broken they are pretty much just theater that gives this democracy the whiff of legitimacy because everyone got their chance to have their say before the police started cracking heads so Free Speech in America wouldn't disrupt the evening commute. yah, democracy and 'freedom of thought' is really just 'freedom to be a slave'

the American govt is extremely powerful and has unimaginable tools of social control at its fingertips and will only be destroyed in a complete economic and/or environmental collapse, and even then will use increasingly openly facist means to retain its power until the bitter end.

going to be hilarious and I can't wait for the earth to be burned and will try to survive for as long as possible.

Fiend posted:Occupy got really big and they even had their own library. after the whole thing collapsed in Seattle my sister brought a girl named "Jasmine" home, she has dreads and smelled bad and saw a textbook I had laying out called "The Nature of the Study of Religion" and when she found out I go to school she smirked and started cooing about the library they had at Occupy as if it were the equivalent of a university education except more "pure" because it was community owned
