Forum Post: We will not be silent any longer...

Hate speech came in droves when the irish fought for working rights in new york city, ironically, during the late 19th - early 20th century. Want ads typically would include the blurb "no irish need apply".

Yes, you guessed right. Even whites in history have been opressed by the corporate machine and the mega rich.

I invite the hate-mongers such as those who post attacks and denigrate us on television and the media to go crack a history book and read up, because with statements like theirs, it's clear people like this don't understand what is at stake here. They simply don't understand history. At all.

This is a fight of monumental proportions. It is a fight that our forefathers built our country on. It is the fight that good men died here and around the world for. It is the fight that is compelling people to assemble in the streets and band together in unity for. It is what beats our drums, it's what makes us sing, it's what makes us shout. It's what makes us fight.

It is the rejection of a repeat of history. It is a refutation of greed. Do they not remember how Americans were bought and sold outright by the men of the Teapot Dome scandal? Does their blood not boil in their veins when they look back and read about the infamous Ohio Gang of Seven, that attempted to bribe, corrupt, and undermine our nation?

Do they not clench their fists when they imagine the extreme hardship, famine, and crushing poverty of the Great Depression their family and friends before them faced, that was caused by wall street speculation and trading on margin? Do they not demand accountability when nearly the exact same speculation happened again, not even 100 years later, and nearly repeated said suffering?

No... their hearts run think with oil. Their minds are sickly from the repeated textbook propaganda techniques that have silently enslaved us and instructed us ad nausem to obey.

We will not obey! We will occupy!

We will fight on. We must fight despite the words that they hurl at us. We must respond with peace in the face of acts of war. We must hold near and dear to our hearts that one beacon of outstanding light, that lamp of truth, that will shepherd us through the darkness of their insidiousness.

We are the human race. We stand for each other. Our lives matter. We are the 99%, and by the grace of god, we will never go away!!!
