...The people in them.

Seriously, the Occupy groups in both my town and Spokane, the two I've been to, have been entirely supplied by the people at them. Bringing supplies for themselves plus any extra stuff they may have. (Tents, signs, etc.)

[SalmonGod]

Yeah.  I've donated supplies myself.  It was all just people chipping in what they could.

[alway]

Yep; just look at the Doublefine kickstarter. A lot of people with some motivation can result in quite a large amount of donation.

[scriver]

Also Iran, Soviet Russia, the Illuminati and the Interdimensional Brotherhood of Evil Uncapitalist Antiamericans, of course.

Don't forget the media.  Remember, you can't trust evidence.

Remember, you can't trust evidence.

I've been doing it wrong all these years!

So sick of seeing stories like this almost every single day.

Got to love how the officer was immediately cleared, too. Reminds me of this.

Anonymous has put out an open call for revolution via destruction of the current U.S. government.

I'm not too worried, because I don't think anybody will seriously act on this.  Regardless, they are being dangerously over-eager.

1. Even if the people are ready for this, which I am doubtful of, they are definitely not ready to be united in it. There is an intense culture war going on in America right now between the right and the left. The left will be ready to unite, despite differences, and try to re-instate a government that works fairly for everyone. The religious right will not share that interest. They don't want fairness. They want their way imposed on everyone at any cost. They are the best armed and most violent. It won't end well. This divide among the people needs to be resolved before a revolution is possible.

2. Even if a revolution is successfully carried out, there is no popular ideology that is prepared to replace what we currently have. There needs to be a shift in our cultural values before a shift in the policies of our institutions can occur. Our government right now is representative of the only way of life that we currently know. We need a solid vision of another way of life, or we're doomed to re-build the same thing again.

It's just "Anonymus" being the same pathetic infantiles as always.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Seriously, this is just silly. So silly that I bet the FBI won't even conduct a curiosity investigation.

[AWdeV]

Maybe they'll investigate what the hell anonymous is smoking and where they can get it.

[NobodyPro]

If this srs bsnss kicks off we could either have the defining moment of my generation (The US Revolution) or the most pathetic attempt at revolution in history.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There isn't going to be a revolution in the US. Revolutions do not happen in modernized electoral democracies where people aren't starving to death in the streets, economic inequalities be dammed.
