"Anarchist Video Reveals Dark Side of #Occupy Movement"

Well, I might have gone with “reiterates” rather than “reveals,” but then, I’m notoriously prescient.

The New Left once ate the mainstream Democrat party because they hated bourgeois liberalism and needed a base of operations for progressivism with a mainstream pedigree. Could the next evolution see the party move so far left that it actually circles around to extreme right?

If Michael Moore suddenly explodes, I’m going to start getting really curious.

    They’re not moving “right” in any American sense of the concept. They’re simply revealing that there is no discernible difference between “fascists” and “communists” and “anarchists”.

    If Michael Moore suddenly assplodes, scientists have determined that a minimum of 4 States would be immediately covered in an inch thick layer of lard.

  3. sdferr says:

    Could any of ya’ll actually watch this execrable trash? I couldn’t get much past a minute of it, if that.

  4. apotheosis says:

    I thought Michael Moore was more likely to implode, collapsing under his own gravitation.

    Though I admit I am neither a physicist, nor someone who cares to approach Michael Moore’s event horizon closely enough to puncture him and test either hypothesis.

  5. Crawford says:

    Can’t watch it right now, and don’t see a reason. It’s just a Weeny Riefenstahl call to smash the capitalist/authoritarian oppressors, right? With lots of swearing, some stills from Hollywood movies, a major-label thrash-metal background, and maybe some scenes lifted from an old bootleg of “Faces of Death”?

    If I wanted to see the “artistic”/bombastic cries of a loser who can’t deal with reality and demands a new one be substituted for it, I’d watch my DVDs of “The Young Ones”. Those have the charm of being funny.

    The inflation from his sense of self-importance and intestinal gasses prevents the collapse.

    Now that the Kennedy clan is pretty much out of national politics, I have a hard time seeing the Democrats demanding that the President be appointed by the Pope to a life term in office.

    Gack! That putz wiped his nose with his hand 5 times in the first :22 seconds. Hopefully in the post-revolution world, the distribution of kleenex will be more fair.

  9. mojo says:

    There’s a light side?

  10. A fine scotch says:

    The putz does know he’s aiding Time Warner’s bottom line, yes?

  11. Slartibartfast says:

    I wouldn’t say he was wiping his nose so much as milking it.

  12. I think that perhaps by reveal, they mean make it impossible not to finally notice.

    “Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

    That Heinlein was a pretty clever fella.

    Just as long as he does it in Cannes. Michigan has enough troubles without his black hole wrecking a beautiful area.

  15. geoffb says:

    Embracing the idea of “Diversity of tactics” will inevitably lead to the most extreme and violent taking control.

    The Assbandit or whatever his name was sounds a lot like Axelrod.

    – Portland, of all places, has apparently had enough. The city officials have given the Occupy Portland movement until 12:01 pm Sunday to decamp.

    – The mayor, Sam Adams said today that the city will close all the occupied parks, make repairs, and then keep them free of illegal occupancy.

    – The Occupy group leaders were also served with a $1500 bill for police car damage.

    Well the mush-mouthed douchebag in the first minute is very unpleasant to watch, he isn’t in it again.

    I actually found it kinda funny.

    And not entirely off base with some of those uncomfortable observations he points out to the hippy dippy types claiming otherwise. It’s like Cuffy Meigs TV. At least these ones are honest, I think it’s a huge development they actually want to use the proper words to communicate their intentions straight.

    And although they’re fucking morons who would cause massive atrocities, I can kind of sympathize with their situation, because, uh… yeah… we’re in the same boat.

    I’m also not so sure they’re wrong about there not being any other way out besides the over-the-cliff Cloward-Piven implosion route we are on. However I don’t agree with them, or Cloward and Piven for that matter, that the outcome they want is a sure deal, or even very likely. It’s a last ditch hail mary sort of move.

    Just as likely as the Cloward-Piven reverse (but either alone probably not as likely as something else altogether still), it could end up being written in the history books as the 2nd Adams-Henry strategy.

    But… still, it’s like Greece man.

    What other way out is there? We all know Greece is boned. They’re going to slow waltz straight into the jaws of death and everyone’s known it all along, though many still like to pretend otherwise.

    And we’re to believe we’re going to make these mythical Cuts, which is like a type of a fleece or something I believe, and these same jokers who have led us this far aren’t going to ride us all the way into the ground? Come on. These guys would totally keep posturing and re-arranging chairs and scoring rhetorical points with arguments about how fake accounting tricks do or do not impact lesbian couples with card-carring Union crack babies, right up until the very moment the lights went out in the Capitol building and they all bolted for Tahiti with most of the gold and all of the silverware.

    I watched it to its end. He’s a toolbag, through and through.

    What was that line from Batman? “Some people just want to see the world burn.” That’s anarchists.

  20. Carin says:

    The narrators favorite word is motherfucking.

    He must have mommy issues.

  21. Carin says:

    I also learned that the mother fockers are black bloc not ninjas.

  22. geoffb says:

    Black bloc. The new Brown Shirts.

  23. McGehee says:

    Seth, they’re WAHnarchists.

  24. Richard Cranium says:

    I kept waiting for the first guy to say “sufferin’ succotash”.

  25. Mueller says:

    #9
    That’s because he just did a noseful before “action” was called.
