This is socialism.
Haha, who didn’t see this coming? Aww, it’s not as much fun to squat like filthy homeless bums when the temperature drops, is it? Then you really start missing all those evil capitalist products that keep you warm and comfortable, don’t you?
This part cracked me up:
According to an “urgent” alert on their website, OWS is looking for a number of other donations, including waterproof boots, gloves, hats, hand and foot warmers and disposable foot covers among other things. The site says the protesters “are in need of emergency supplies crucial for cold weather survival (and occupation).”
Or, you know, you could just go back to your parents’ basements where it’s warm and safe and you’ll end up anyway, and quit your silly little nonsense “protest” posturing already.
“WE ARE THE 99%! WE REJECT CAPITALISM AND BIG CORPORATIONS! But… y’know, if you could hook us up with some of those nifty hand warmers and waterproof boots, that’d be awesome. NO I DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM, JUST GIVE THEM TO ME!”
But yeah, mockery aside there’s something important to take from all this. This is socialism:
It’s a ramshackle tent city filled with useless dependents who will all ultimately starve or freeze to death, wholly dependent on someone else to provide them food, clothing, shelter and warmth in order to survive, unless they go running back to the joys and luxuries that capitalism creates.
I seriously, truly hope and wish that a handful of them die from exposure. It’s a terrible thing to wish on people, but these goddamned morons need to get a clue. And, since people like that always insist on learning things the hard way—let them get a firsthand lesson. Show them the frozen corpse that is the invariable end result of the ideology they are advocating.
Seriously. To any socialist or any liberal jackhole defending these morons, how do you not understand this? You have firsthand proof of what the end result of socialism is. You can see it on Wall Street. It’s this. It’s people freezing in the cold with nowhere to go (without admitting the ideological supremacy of that which they’re “protesting”) who are now literally begging people to take care of them so that they don’t die. Because they cannot take care of themselves. At all.
That’s socialism, folks.
Who here is still stupid enough to continue supporting that ridiculous ideology, now seeing it for what it is in stark naked contrast? Anyone?
