The working class in America think they are middle class.

Which explains a lot about how the tea party happened.

This is, interestingly, not quite true, but it IS what the media machine wants you to think. So that we all sit tight in our little homes thinking that everyone else in America is a fucking idiot and there's no possibility of changing anything because the Majority Sides With Them, not us.

It's a huge manipulation game, along with Abortion! Abortion! Abortion! Gay marriage!

This is how it works: "I'm tired and hungry and I kinda blew off voting because most of the morons in this fucking state are opposed to gay marriage and there's no way that bill is gonna pass."

Bill doesn't pass, belief is reinforced.

i'm kind of confused by this response to Emo's statement...
the media wants us to think that the working class thinks they are middle class, but they don't?

I think she means that the media wants us to think that there are more stupid people than there really are, so we stop trying.

Not just stupid, but that the vast majority of people are opposed to our interests.

Since I am opposed to the vast majority of people, that idea has never slowed me down.

I am on none of these peoples' sides, because none of them are altogether on MY side.  Although I DO confess a soft spot for the Occupy crowd, silly as they may be...In fact, my current Short Duration Personal Savior is that old lady that got herself gassed by the Seattle Filth.

i would certainly dispute that.
as a generalization, i would say that the old are more cognizant of their mortality, and therefore avoid risk.  the young feel bulletproof, and make reality youtube shows of themselves doing ridiculously dangerous acts.

Oh there is, they're called The Raging Grannies.

The Portland chapter (I think they go by "Seriously Pissed Off Grannies") vandalized an Army recruiting place in December.

I saw them holdin' it down at the Occupy the Courts protest a few weeks ago.

Perhaps it would be more effective if we also left a turd right by the side of his bed so when he got up in the morning he would step right in it.

I'd like to leave a copy of my poop on his doorstep.

Yeah, so that lady never got fucking gassed, right?

It was all photoshop?  And they faked the subsequent medical records?

Generalizations are stereotypes.  Congratulations, you're a teabagger.

Vandalizing a recruiter station is a douchey thing to do IMO.

Retracted. I had a monkey moment and didn't read the full article.

No problem.  I used to have knee-jerk reactions to that sort of shit myself.

It was only through painful experience and loads of loose morals that I finally cured myself.

I'm still confused. i scanned through the article and it looks like they did 'vandalize' the recruiter station?  (albeit water soluble vandalism.)
what mitigates this if you find that behavior douchey?
