Violent Revolution is Inevitable

Quote:Where the Hell Is the Outrage?


Middle-class wages are stagnant. Uemployment is stalled at record levels. College education is leading to debt servitude and job insecurity. Millions of unemployed Americans have essentially been abandoned by their government. Poverty is soaring. Bankers break the law with impunity, are bailed out, and go on breaking the law, richer than they were before.

And yet, bizarrely, the only Americans who seem to be seething with anger are the beneficiaries of this economic injustice – the wealthiest and most privileged among us. But those who are suffering seem strangely passive.

Quote:As Paolo Friere said: “Washing one’s hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.”

The beneficiaries of economic injustice are those who get their pay cheque from and support violent monopolies. And they are all about expanding state power if their pay cheque depends on evil being successful.

Self made rich people tend to be more assertive, confident, so they will say what they mean and be convicted with it.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.

That's exactly the problem. We need a few of the motherfuckers to be convicted and shot.

Violent revolution, IF it does happen, will not be directed at the government, but rather the people living in gated communities.

They'd better make the walls of their community 30 feet high and out of concrete and barbed wire, is all I'm saying.

That won't work, it'll just provide a convenient border for prison camps...lol. Slap a couple towers and spotlights up on that, bobs your uncle.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
