We knew this when they got into those smug positions. That eventually it would all come burning down. Here it is, and they cant handle what they thought was impossible to them. Pride comes before the fall then I cum on them.
Apropos of nothing, a post from almost 4 years ago:
I look forward to when people finally have enough of your bullshit, and your whole world will come crumbling down around you. And we will just stand back and laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Because you will have no one to blame but yourselves. NOT Kiwi Farms. NOT "white supremacy". NOT Donald Trump. It's YOU. YOU'RE the problem
 
Should be. Let's say you really need a $5 thingy. That thingy is now $9.50. It sucks that it nearly doubles in price, but it's still pretty cheap.and if you really need it you can afford it. If it's a $100 thingy it's now $133 which is doable. If you have to buy 1,000s of the things it will add up quick and be painful, but maybe a local source for them will prop up.

I'd be very concerned about giving my SSN to random people on the internet just so they can ship random crap to me tho.

Never thought we would hit the heart of the hydra so easily with stopping USAID.
It's because it went on for so long that they didn't need to hide it. After all, any politician that would get enough support to become president would have taken enough money from them to make it suicidal to even try to touch that.
Everyime I think back to Occupy Wall Street all I can think about is how it was destroyed. I have trouble coming to any kind of conclusion except Glow-ops. They amplified the loonies (gender fags / random black people) and silenced anyone rational.
It was absolutely glowops. There's no way around it.
There is a conspiracy theory that the financial institutions intentionally infected protesters with this intersectional coalition knowing that it would cause the movement to tear itself apart from the inside. Whether or not you believe that, it is funny to think about.

Personally I think those useless shitheaads will try to latch on to anything they can much like any other parasite and that they just happened to find a host that was too weak or immunocompromised by their own idiotic idealogical beliefs to fight off the intersectionalists.
It's a fact in my book. They absolutely had to promote divisions on race because OWS was way too close for comfort to promoting class consciousness - they knew they had fucked the world over and gotten rewarded for it outside one or two people that fell on the sword.
 
People like Tim Pool, who will never stop outing themselves as former leftists, are attracted to this type of narrative because it obviates the necessity of them admitting they were wrong.

“No! You see, the things I can’t specify that I believed in which lead me to be a leftist were objectively correct, and the movement was mislead”

That’s saying some socialism is good

All leftists at the time were on the same team that bundled subprime mortgages in an attempt to take money from you in the form of financial service fees to offset the fact that the urban urchins were never expected to repay their mortgages

It was all a scam to divest whitey of generational privilege

Edit to finish the thought:

The bank CEO’s were lefties who understood not to question the new triple a rated mortgage backed securities. The occupy wall street protesters were largely lefties who thought it was the banks who came up with the idea out of greed, when it was really HUD who conceived and pushed it.
I was very much fascinated with Occupy Wall Street at the time and actually first became familiar with Tim Pool by watching his livestreams of the protests and protester camp in NYC. It's probably very difficult to find the videos now, but I vaguely recall him being even-handed and objective in how he covered the whole thing, being neither overtly for or against the protests and their methods. I know it's a common tactic for protestors/rioters to disguise themselves as media or "medics" as an exploit against law enforcement, but it always seemed like Tim was genuinely an observer of the protests, not a protester himself.

Now I have no idea how Tim recounts Occupy Wall Street now, but I'd like to think that he's savvy enough to know that the Occupy Wall Street protesters undermined themselves with absurd organizational practices (progressive stack, mic check, etc.) and especially power-hungry cliques of activists. It really doesn't take paid plants to accomplish this. Such events are naturally attractive to Leftist activists who are crazy, greedy, and self-destructive all on their own.

Also, in case you didn't know, Occupy Wall Street was first planned by a Canadian Leftist activist group called Adbusters who just got lucky enough for their event to go viral. Ordinarily, they just sold overly expensive magazines ("zines") and shoes.
 
I was talking more broadly. It could have been Computer tech Paul. Because the same thing happened to him. Even more so, considering the utter lunacy that is in the tech space. For leisure or business.
But yea, they really fucked over the coal miners to push the ugly as fuck wind farms.
They saw that shit as dirty jobs that were beneath them so they were all too happy to fuck the miners over.
So much orgasm right now

Those government employees would have happily ruined everything for non government workers because they never had to worry about their paychecks.
 
Kek, what's the worst that could happen if we went back to how entrenched religion was in the early 80's and 90's. The Satanic Panic pales in comparison of the Tranny Panic.
Yeah cause the tranny panic is people realising that holy shit, the satanic panic was right.

Tim recounts Occupy Wall Street with lots of bad actors who infiltrated the movement. Tim will still occasionally talk about it if it comes up on conversation. He'll go on a tangent every now and again about it during livestreams. He believes it was very effective in scaring the big establishment. Tim is a special type of sperg though and he's the fate many libertarians found themselves in. I don't think you really understand Tim Pool unless you have some kind of grasp on the world he grew up in. The political landscape was very different and the left was far less unified than it is today. Everyone had different lines and views they would die on and nobody wanted to adhere to any labels. Everyone was differing degrees of centrist because being on the left or right was seen as extremist and was a social no-no. You didn't refer to yourself as a conservative or leftist like you do today.

On another side note, since I feel like PLing today apparently, during the end of my college days, I was offered a lot of extra credit and an entire expenses paid flight by one of my professors to fly out to Occupy Wall Street and see if I could film and talk with people. I know people who did go but I never asked them too much about it. Thankfully for me I was busy with other things and couldn't make it. I missed getting my ass beat and tear gassed because the day I would've arrived was the day they broke that shit up. Nowadays I probably wouldn't have ever gone because I fucking hate hippies and apparently it was a lot of hippies.

I think it's pretty common for everyone to not understand the absolute SCALE of things, but liberals have it real bad. They're unable to understand that "1 million coal jobs" concentrated in a few regions is death for those regions, because where they're used to, a million jobs is spread over multiple industries, and people flow between them relatively easily.

And so they ALWAYS end up trying to smother a dying industry when they could just leave it for 10-20 more years, and the people who worked it would retire away, and their kids would work something else somewhere else.

But boiling frogs is not on their menu, it's too damn slow.

The key was bringing in intersectionality or whatever. If Bernie Sanders is ranting about the 1% and wages sucking ass, he's going to get way more support than if you force him to also list of ten thousand other liberal causes, like troon balloons or whatever.

Any single issue group has tremendous power as long as they stay focused and single-issue, because they can pick up people from both sides. They can't win political office, but they can definitely shape the discussion. And the way to attack them is to make the group become a multi-issue group, which means they just become part of a political party, and lose their grassroots support.
