Typical bullshit. | Revscene is truly full of fucking stupid people! If it weren't for activists like the ones in the video, who try to keep government tyranny at bay-we would not be living the way we do. When citizens abstain from their responsibility to keep the government in check (meatheads such as the guys quoted above) governments always revert to authoritarianism- it is the human condition. People in power (of the government), absent the check and balance-will intrude into the lives of the citizenry by whatever means accessible to amass ever more power. This is what happened in fascist Germany and Italy. The People failed to notice when the government broke the social contract. Step by step, the governments overrode existing rights of the people- forcing active citizens to protest in "zones" - in areas where few people could see them. By infiltrating and fragmenting unions and other social activist groups (i.e. Universities). They then pitch certain groups against others to dispose rivals and to amass ever more control over society. In Germany, the Nazi's targeted the Jews (Jews and Germans peacefully coexisted for hundreds of years before the WW). When they were finished with the Jews, they targeted gays and lesbians, then people who were deemed "unfit"-people with any kind of sickness or disability, etc. When they (the Nazis) finished with all the "Yahoos and Hippies and useless people," they then attacked the Poles. When their powers became absolute at home they declared themselves to be the rightful rulers and everyone else the enemy. What we must understand is that the Nazis didn't really care about the Jews or the Poles, what they wanted was POWER. Powerful people always seek more power, always. That is why the Founding Fathers of the United States designed a system of government with multiple checks and balances-they understood that without such checks, the most benevolent leader, if given the opportunity would become a dictator. Freedom of Speech is in the Constitution precisely because of this. This Right was given to the People so they could voice their concerns without fear of persecution whenever the government steps out-of-line. Because of this Amendment, the US Federal government can't stifle activists, but they have learned ways to circumvent this- they quarantining the activists. They do this by authorizing "protest zones," usually in areas where there is little traffic and far from the very people/groups/companies whom the activists are protesting against. If activists are forced to protest in designated areas where they can't be seen and heard then WTF is the point of protesting!!?!! These concerned citizens are constantly fighting a two way battle: one against the party of interest and second-dumbfuck "Yahoos" like the guys quoted earlier. These meatheads (and their ilk) are not only abstaining from their responsibility to be informed and active citizens, they're out-right hostile to the very people who are keeping democracy and liberty alive!
All you haters of activists (Greenpeace, Critical Mass, etc) should really consider moving to the United States under Bush/Republican rule. Over there, activists are squashed like bugs! Literally! Police forces there are armed with unlimited supplies of bear mace, tazars, and other weapons to deal with these troublesome interlopers! Woot woot! In the Land of the Free, Undesirables (such as those unruly Muslims, or those who look like one) are rendtioned by the CIA to far away places, tortured, and held indefinitely! And this can be done without any evidence of wrong-doing whatsoever! Corporations can knowingly use toxic chemicals in their products and destroy entire ecosystems with immunity! They even save on PR because they know their buddies in the government will shut up any and all nosy citizens!  Why worry about human rights, the destruction of our planet, and other silly stuff when you have much more important things to do!- like shopping and watching the Canucks on PPV! Duh!
LOL, why do I bother, this is Revscene. I bet 90+% the members don't even remember the last time they picked up a book LOL. |

Case in point, this skinny guy comes into the gym the other day, must have only weighed ~ 140lbs, loads on 2 plates on the bench rack, mutters to himself, for sparta, unracks the barbell and proceeds to drop it directly on his chest.
