| badgenome said: I agree with pretty much all of that, except I still think that that doesn't make such people victims. Or, it does, but they're victims in much the same way that spoiled children are victims of bad parenting: they're victims, but not particularly sympathetic ones, and their only chance of turning around their lives is to get a hard dose of reality. And that's my big beef with OWS. I don't see this as a group of people who are belatedly upset by the feds enabling corporate irresponsibility; I see it as a bunch of people who, by and large, just want the feds to enable them to be just as irresponsible as the banks. |
Exactly. People simply want to exchange one master for another. They rail against the top 1%, and want to exchange them for another 1% in the government to be their ruler... When in reality, neither should rule over you in the way that they affect and make decisions for your own self.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
