Team InfoWars have been working double shifts the last few days to ensure that the 'commie co-opting Occupy Wall Street' story is implanted in the redneck* subconscious.
Y'know, Alex, if you weren't so busy trying to co-opt the protests yourself, folk might be a little more credulous of the your issues. I know you like to portray yourself as Mr Activist - and you have a healthy track record. But I doubt if you have been on as many protest marches as I have. I'm not saying that as a boast but merely to point out that when independent people take to the streets, the last thing they want is a Socialist Workers Party placard shoved in their hands. And neither do they want some loudmouth browbeating them with what they should think.
Hopefully, the people who are out on the streets are smarter than you give them credit. But their intelligence notwithstanding, people actually do want to see wholesale reform if not outright revolution. Most people who recognise the unjust economic system will recognise that it is a structure designed for the benefit of an elite and that, as one protesters sign says, capitalism is a religion. How does that square with your professed Christian beliefs, Alex? The Bible is not short on anti-capitalist rhetoric. Should I compile it for you? Surely, you are well versed.
But the yelling will not enlighten anybody. It may programme people's thoughts subliminally but not those free thinkers who only hear the noise.
As the old truism goes, he who shouts loudest has most to hide.
