[quote=Arraya][quote=sd_matt][quote=Arraya][quote=AN][quote=sd_matt]To me this whole protest is like the chicken protesting the fox when the chicken should be protesting the farmer for lifting the fence.[/quote]
That would require some connecting of the dots. Way too complicated and time consuming. Chickens don’t think that deep.[/quote]
Maybe some of the chickens might ask why the farmer is controlled by the fox? What is the motivation for the farmer lifting the fence? Let’s connect some dots.
Here is some video of the farmer abusing the chickens again.

LOL…punishment for being stupid! They should be occupying Congress or the City or State Govt.
Correct me if I’m wrong here…hasn’t the Tea Party’s focus been more on government? I’m not saying that I agree or disagree with the Tea Party philosophically.If they are indeed focusing more on the farmer than the fox than that would make them smarter than the Occupy folks.[/quote]
The financial system is where the power resides. It should be apparent to all that capital dictates to governments. In Modern “liberal” governments, the rich are pitted against the poor, gaining their wealth by appropriating the work of others; and the government is in “business” to protect the ruling class or what James Madison called the “leveling impulses” of the propertyless multitude. What you are seeing is the naturally arising leveling impulses that grow out of system built on such contradictions.
The capitalist class runs the government and their power resides in the financial system – which demands and dictates abhorrent and anti-social behavior.
Regulating this abomination of system is a complete waste of time – only complete dissolution will do.
I agree that they should not be solely focusing on the financial system but our whole socioeconomic paradigm and its ontological underpinnings.[/quote]
If the masses continue to fail to take advantage of this massive opportunity to educate themselves then they will never know with what to replace this current abomination. They will simply be duped again.
Every liberal knows who Michael Moore is but none seem to know who Dean Baker is. Every conservative knows who Rush and Hannity are but how many know of Peter Schiff?
And you can find these people on the net…even YouTube of all places simply by asking “Whom in the economic world saw this coming?”
Simply doing this would be a change of the paradigm. Of course the sheeple will never do this….sigh.
