Year of the storm (The Pirate Bay) →
wallstreetphotos:
“2012 is the year of the storm.
The Pirate Bay will reach an age of 9 years. Experiencing raids, espionage and death threats, we’re still here. We’ve been through hell and back and it has made us tougher than ever.
The people running the site has changed during the years. No sane human being would put up with this kind of pressure for 8 years in a row. An insane hobby that...

THEY LIVE and #Occupy in L.A.
chocolate-american:
Released in 1988, John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE finds honest, hard-working Americans – personified in this case by the muscle-bound mullet that is ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper – on skid row, under the thumb of a kleptocracy of aliens masquerading as decent, clean-living human beings in cahoots with a power elite of Reagan-era Republicans doing much the same thing.
Los Angeles offers...

Protesters in Gaza Throw Shoes and Sticks at U.N.... →
tayman:
A convoy carrying Secretary General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations was pelted with shoes and sticks by Palestinian protesters when it entered the Gaza Strip from Israel on Thursday, witnesses said.
About 100 men and women who said their family members were being held in Israeli prisons had arrived in buses near a checkpoint in Gaza, a few hundred yards from the Erez crossing,...

Crazy lady marries a building (true story from Seattle)
And they ban gay marriage but not this? What has the world come to… -_-“
I understand (well not really) the one guy who married his DS (technically, Nene from Love Plus) because he fell in love with the girl in the game, but a building? Bitch, A BUILDING?! Can that building tell you you’re pretty,...

The One Thing, I Hate
jacobkgraham:
As Occupy is heating up and protests are spreading everywhere, I have seen only one thing that I do not like. It is sadly something more common with lefties than righties as a whole. And it is the demeanor towards cops. Now, I completely get being upset with the cops who started the violence with Occupy. I do understand that. But the picture above is simply wrong. Cops are...

A Fallacy of DGR Thought
The following quote is a statement released from Deep Green Resistance, Austin as as a description of the look of a post-deindustrialized society:
“We can see rivers running free and unrestrained to the gulf with no dams to stop them. We see the creeks and streams that feed these rivers, flowing undeterred by human interference. Rainwater collection is a staple of every building that...

Opting out of Grading
As an educator who abolished grading in 2004 and initiated a Grading Moratorium, I have an acute understanding for how grading sabotages learning. Because of this, I have drafted this letter for my daughter’s future teachers.
Dear teacher,
Kayley loves to learn and is very excited to start school this year.
Because the case against grades has a...

Reading "The Communist Manifesto"
lettherebecramp:
Getting really fucking sick of the word “bourgeoisie” …
and I’m only on page 21. -_-‘
Read Dialectical Economics by LaRouche. The Manifesto is really just a propaganda piece for the lay and holds little of substance. LaRouche’s book sums up Marx’s work in Kapital Vol 1-4 fairly nicely.

So proud of Apple for being the first technology... →
There is no reason to be proud of Apple. Apple is one of the worst human rights abusers in the world. Their action of joining the Fair Labor Association is simply a PR stunt as they will be able to continue the majority of their practices uninterrupted through subsidiaries and contract companies such as FoxConn. Of course, at least it “looks” good. Not even this would have been done...

“We need a class system, even animals have alpha males.”
If I remember correctly, the alpha male isn’t on top of society due to the fact he was born with a crown or because he played the stock market to enrich himself. Stupid people. I still don’t understand how that argument is relevant.
Hierarchy and classes are not one in the same. As social animals, humans always...

AMERICA'S DESTRUCTION
mcshanerants:
In the last two years or so, as a self proclaimed political tracker, I have been watching our “leaders” slowly destroying our country. And by “leaders” I primarily mean the GOP. First it was abortion and women’s rights. Republicans want to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies. Then they started slashing education budgets across the country, forcing schools...

chasingtheoblivion:
He said this can only happen when people recognize and discover how society works in order to challenge those in power. Just when there’s enough tension and conflict, social change will erupt. I believe we’re at that step in America. :]
It is my sincere belief that the previous social revolutions misunderstood “the dictatorship of the proletariat” and in doing...
