    PD.com forums: a disorganized echo-chamber full of concordian, Greyfaced radical left-wing nutjobs who honestly believe they can take down imaginary Nazis by distributing flyers. They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

*kicking and screaming*

:horrormirth:

But... but... it doesn't make sense because the guy in Due South was really really nice!  And Canadians generally mean well, don't they???  And... politics is supposed to be different here because... Trudeau maple syrup made beavers on Anne Murray moose leaf or something... ?!

:lol:

Sorry.  Can't keep a straight face for that one.
It feels unreal because it's trickling up.

Ever since Pierre Trudeau left office, Canadians have elected one wannabe Reagan after another.  Then they fucking bitch about it, and then head straight to the polls and vote MORE right wing.

So...it was the biggest police intelligence operation in history, and yet it still couldn't stop outbreaks of violence.

Not suggesting anything, just noting.

Oh no!  I'm not suggesting anything either. 

[redirection]And who cares about that stuff?  Think of all the lucrative contracts.  Think of the employment rate, and how over 500 men and women had some extra work during the recession.  I think we can all agree that's what's important here.[/redirection]  :cry:

^troot^ 

Most recent - 40-ish% of the (counted from those who were allowed to) vote got us the lipless reconstructionist-fundie oil sands man.  Again.  ... I should put money on Ford For Emperor, 2012.

Even with the country correction, the headline is still misleading.  I know you know this, but just to be a bit clearer.

I'm actually pretty sick of people calling such protesters "dirty hippies" and such. Whatever the reason they protest and however they do it, I'm always happy when I see protesters - they are doing something. And this whole occupy movement pleases me a lot - it's global and although it's a bit disorganized, it's been getting a lot of media attention and media attention is a must in our times if you want to achieve something.

But yeah, there are plenty of people who are way to comfortable in their own little world and even the concept of change scares them - for them the protesters are always "dirty hippies" or "stupid for expecting to change anything".

I like the Greeks' thinking - "Police brutality? Kill it with Molotows!"
