Has anybody given any thought to when the movement becomes too big that the power elite, big banksters, corprate powers, etc. start to really fell threatened that they will try to use force to put it out. I'm not talking riot cops with tear gas. Something more along the lines of the National Guard or Army regulars with deadly force authorized, just like corrupt governments have done in the past.
I think you're talking about resistance, the kind that ultimately melts down into a major power struggle between factions, an us vs. them kind of thing. Remember, something like this could only happen if they (the 1%) had enough mercenaries to do their dirty deeds. When something like this happens in the real world, these mercenaries are eventually beaten down as they are missing a key component in the battle. They lack heart and soul. There is little to no meaning in their fight. They are seduced by those to whom they serve. We serve nobody and have no one to please except ourselves. We stand on the side of good, they on the other hand represent all that is wrong with our society. We should never fear their power. Ultimately, their power is false power. History has proven this over and over and over again. And deep down inside they know this too! But that' won't stop 'them' from being stubborn and fighting to keep their grubby little hands on their wads of cash. It's classic addictive behavior we're talking about, right? If you take the needle away from an addict or the bottle away from the alcoholic, what's likely to happen? Think about it. Then we have a nasty group of people with a vengeance to fix someone's boat. Yet this has never truly stopped a genuine revolution from happen before has it?
Not as long as these demonstrations remain peaceful.
Even if the demonstrations remain peaceful, they may just fabricate a reason or just send in the tanks and not care who's watching. I'm just saying its a possibility, a worst case scenario. Back an animal into a corner and it will fight.
People love whitewashed history - the idea that the Indian revolution was entirely peaceful is not so much like in Britain because Gandhi was awesome, but because people don't want to face that their boys were shooting at unarmed crowds. The civil rights movement was entirely peaceful because the white middle class doesn't want to admit it didn't think up civil rights itself.
Well lets be positive. I think they are threatened enough to do it already, but that its not so simple to go after a group that is in some way the 99%. You mean what we would do if they start shouting in New York? More or less what you would do if they start shouting your family anywhere else.
