Occupy Wall Street Hyprocisy

[ OFF THE CUFF DRUNKEN RANT ]

Occupy Wall Street is to what? Defy Wall Street? Defy Capitalism?

The #OccupyWallStreet movement was driven by an internet campaign. Without capitalism, this campaign would not have had legs. Capitalism made the technology that gave the ability to organize and record this campaign.

What about food? Donated! These people did not plan ahead of time to feed themselves and other people are doing it! It is just like living with Mummy and Daddy except outside. Oh yeah, and protesting Mummy and Daddy's prosperity.

Where would these people be without their G3, G4, or G5 phones? Their WiFi?

Where would they be without Capitalism to push the boundaries of "We can give you the most for less money?"

How poor are the poor? How deprived are they? What about this?

So what!? The poor get poorer and the rich get richer, right? Is this video a lie?

You're only young and dumb once. Don't become old and dumb too.

The vigor you have in your young age enables you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps into the upper-economic strata.

How dare you you expect to be wealthy straight out of college. School is not hard work. School work gives you a certification of knowledge. Then you get to work hard.

Sometime after thirty you will get to see rewards.

If you are twenty-something, STFU!

UK riots are spawning from social networking on the internet. So far twitter has refused to shut down accounts of these rioters. The company deems the freedom of expression of rioters more important than the safety of the people they target. After all, this is the poor against the rich, or middle class and rich kids having fun; or was this about the cops shooting Mark Duggan? So far the riots has cost the lives of five citizens and no cops.

The rioting is also about looting. Ebay and Gumtree though are doing their part and will not sell the looted goods. Just as the internet has been used to coordinate the riots, so it has been used to identify the guilty.

How poor is the poor if they have phones and internet connectivity to coordinate the riots? It is going to get them caught. Phones have GPS systems; they are carrying around a location device. How smart are these rioters? Can they read past a 140 character twitter message? Loot any good books lately? No.
