Staging a protest doesn't mean handing paychecks to protestors, or I'd have beaucoup bank roll. Most organizers get jack as well. Top dogs (full-timers within a group - like ANSWER seem like they mostly volunteers - but a valuable ASSET may have more than JUST one potential source of income....) in executive positions of an office holding left group make small cheese. I'd imagine the TEA PARTY was MUCH better paid.
Occupy is either dissolved or becoming "sleepers" - here in Venice it's like 1 guy, who chased away those who didn't agree with his schedule and vision, by bringing in WLA DEM and coffee party ringers to block consensus on issues that shouldn't have been controversial - given our points of unity....and STATED ethos etc.
I walked away in disgust after several years - and lots of successful organizing/protests/events. My beefs were personal. So I walked away. Got some COOL t-shirts though....
STAGING a protest is taking a peaceful march....and making it a RIOT. Whether ACTUAL Black-Blockers or cops posing as such....they start destroying stuff on the other side of TOWN....and your disciplined march has a new headline. In OAKLAND I recallthis as OCCUPY - 1 side of the POLICE LINES....."ANARCHIST" riot on the other. And guess whom the cops attacked?
I never saw any white power graffiti that was credited to the Trump campaign. But I killed my television. But are you saying HILLARY people attempt to make Trump look bad, by making racism seem more prevalent. It would seem more of a normalizing thing - like a race war 'broken windows'. If that was the case....it worked. People felt comfortable voting their fear and ignorance. And now we have Dr. Farts - the T-Rex.
No. TRUMP says straight RACIST SHIT - and racists applaud. Case closed. You say that agree with all this, but JUST NOT THAT. Well Hitler built the Autobahn, and made Volkswagons, too. But Broken windows.... All it takes for EVIL to flourish - is for GOOD MEN to do NOTHING. So casting a vote = positive endorsement...how much more f**ked are we really?
