Forum Post: Corporations are curious beasts...

Corporations are curious beasts, they devour and adapt, in the 1970’s when the Equal Rights Amendment was moving though the country, they took the opportunity to create the “two income family”. Now they use the fear of immigrants to beat back efforts to provide public services. I guess that’s why wealth inequality is worst than its ever been and the plight of the average American hasn’t been this bad since the great depression. With an economy going at near 3% a year, 10 years after the collapse, almost all the gains are going to the very rich while the GOP, holding all seats of power, plan to reduce retirement benefits to pay for even more tax cuts. If the American people don’t wake up and start voting our nuclear arsenal will fall into the hands of religious fundamentalists. Was that an odd segway? Well desperate people do desperate things, the corporations should think about that. If we don’t stop the GOP from making the situation worse with even more tax cuts and program cuts then people will lash out and we will be thinking as fondly of Trump as some short memory people are of W right now.

Don't read this either ...

OR watch this ...

OR the extended version ...

of the now seminal documentary film ''The Corporation'' .... as it might result in - Cognitive Dissonance!

Trying to absolve the Democraps of ANY Responsibility & Complicity in the Corporate Capture of U$A is

myopic at best & criminal at worst! Obomber was The Deporter In Chief & he a was Drone Killer too btw.

I'm guessing that the Cynthia Nixon v Andrew StatusCuomo contest for NY Governor, meant N0THING?

HOW are "the GOP, holding all seats of power"? Because Corp.Dems/DNC don't offer Real Alternatives!

I do get that in Repugnant voting AZ, U>frf are a radical BUT here, U are a relatively conservative voice.

It's up to U to try to understand WTF is going on and see The Class Issues at play in 2 Party State U$A.

U really have to try to realize that just because many here see Corp. Dems for what they are, that U can

not simply accuse us of being US Greens or even for tRUMP! That is called reductionism & is stupid tbh,

ad iudicium?

Still working for the GOP? How much do they pay you, Shadz?

Still wearing your fat arse as a hat, cowboy?! When'll real eyes, realize, real lies?

spero meliora!

Still kissing Dem A$$ & avoiding points & evidential links, huh? I opened your link and noted that U are

still insistent that others here are "Green ego whores" ... whereby U prove that U are still trapped in the

Corp.Dem~Corp.MSM received wisdom lies about 2000's Al Gore loss to Bush. THAT was the clearest

example of a Stolen Election but Al Gore would rather take the loss ... than expose U$A's demoCRAZY

deMOCKERYcy for the crazy mockery that it is! Now this is an honest question, but do U actually know

how the Electoral College works? U really don't if U think Nader derpived U of a President Gore! Finally,

IF USA doesn't have a functional, activist 'Left', then pseudo-liberal, Centerist Dems become the willing

puppets of Oligarchy because history shows Liberals will move right, unless anchored by actual leftists!

With another #S17 coming up, get this: NO OWS; NO Bernie & NO Bernie; NO Alexandra O-C! Geddit?

IF U can't extend politics outside & beyond the Corp.Controlled "Choice" of Duopoly, your facts are fukt!

e tenebris lux?


Copied verbatim from: http://occupywallst.org/forum/trumps-cruel-measures-pushing-us-inequality-to-dan/#comment-1076396 where U fail to address the points raised! Nevertheless, seasons cheer to U!

pacem in terris ...

I am about KILLING the GOP by whatever means are available, right now that means voting for a Dem almost always, I do support getting involved in primaries to get the best people, but those who vote for fucking Greens are stupid as shit!

For Christ's sake what do the Republicans have to do to convince you they MUST be defeated?

If the founders of OWS had simply acknowledged the fact that the GOP work night and day to make the rich richer a lot of things would be different!

Voting Democrap is panacea in your Duopoly Delusion!!! Your attachment to THE DEMOCRAP HALF of

U$A's One Corporate Banker War Party but with two factions - now has U stuck in your Zero Sum Game

Binary with your sole focus on THE REPUGNANTS!! U've NOTHING to offer .. but yet more of the same

Corporate Control Polytricks that has led U/USA to the POTUS tRUMP U hate so much, because voters

went with The Devil They Didn't Know in 2016! I despair for U tbh :-( Now go see IF U can connect dots:

IF USA doesn't have a functional, activist 'Left', then pseudo-liberal, Centerist Dems become the willing

puppets of Oligarchy because history shows Liberals will move right, unless anchored by actual leftists!

With another #S17 coming up, get this: NO OWS; NO Bernie & NO Bernie; NO Alexandra O-C! Geddit?

So you will be supporting stupid voting this cycle as well?

[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 4 years ago

U are limited in view to one (s)election cycle but US 99% Struggle is soooo much more than that!

Fck the RW DNC / DLC but never give up on decent, well meaning (if naieve) Democratic voters!

Are you ready to unify with the Democrats to defeat the GOP?

So you still working to divide the left? and help the GOP win so do you support Alex or is she a "gop lite" now that she is running as a Democrat? You really aren't very clear in your posts are you joining the HARD CORE DEMOCRATS or are you still pushing those ego whore Greens? go ahead tell us or are you too chicken shit?

You know I remember when I posted that OWS should challenge Chuck Schumer in the primaries and I got zero support for that ideal from you, so are you doing this to create change or are you just here to promote your ego whore Greens?

[-] -1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 5 years ago

Do U think Democraps are "the left"?! Why are U hiding behind Alex O-C's skirt? D'U ever read links?

U are trapped in your binary duopoly, eg.unable to see why Bernie'd win as an Independent, aren't U?

respice, adspice, prospice ...

[-] 0 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 5 years ago

you complain about "links" when you won't answer a direct question, why did you not go after Schumer in the primary?

[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 5 years ago

WTF are U talking about?! WTF has your "direct question'' got to do with the predicament of U$A's 99%

OR OWS?!! IF are U referring to working for Bernie ... do U think that here on this closed forum was the

place to spend time when social media was the arena for on-line fight?!!! Re. "links", address yourself to

the ones embedded here:

Are you going to be telling people they should throw their votes in the trash can this time around?

[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 4 years ago

GOP + GOPlite = RW Corp. Duopoly but ''are you going to be telling people they should throw their

votes in the trash can'' of the same Corporate CON-Troll-ed Shit-Show & do the same thing that's got

U/U$A into the scenario where Hellary Rotten Killedtons was to THE FKN RIGHT of tRUMP on many

issues but especially her RW Neocon Foreign Policy?!!! It's Bernie OR 3rd Part but preferably BOTH!!

Geddit?! No of course U don't/won't! Finally, revert back to here ...

"Tom Perez Says DNC Would Continue to Back Any Democrat Who Votes for Kavanaugh ... Sparking Progressive Fury'', by Jake Johnson:

"The invisible chokehold of Big Money vs. people .. vs. the testimony of women on gruesome display. Again." Stay in denial and ''Don't read this" either OR wakeTF up to WTF Corp.Dems/DNC are up to!
