    Yeah. I wasn't really using it as an "I support this movement" type of thing, just a counter perspective.

    Scumbag Conservatives: Tell people complaining about a lack of jobs to go get jobs.

    I laugh at the videos that has a dude holding a paper that says:"don't fucking complain just bend over and take it!! I don't care to get fucked so neither do you! So stop fucking complaining!"
    you can't take that seriously, you need to complain and protest to make shit happen!

    No, it's one of the biggest flaws with conservatives. "I say, what is wrong these rabble-rousers, they should sit behind closed doors and quietly complain to themselves, without being a nuisance to anybody, that's the American way!" Do you honestly believe nobody should be complaining whatsoever about anything?

    See "Oh god that conversation was terrible, so much yelling and speaking over another" .... Perhaps if they could make a coherent argument rather then just shout out catch phrases, then they would be more attractive to potential employers.

    That's not what democracy looks like. Democracy looks like Greeks in togas pointing at each other and having heated debates over absolutely everything while spectators eat grapes and drink wine. Democracy isn't indoctrinating your child and making them chant at a protest and yelling slogans.

    Self-organsation and grassroots debating by the general population is Democracy.

    Half of his revenue? You expect me to sit here and believe that motherfucker isn't sitting on a mountain of untaxed investment earnings? Or that he isn't hiding a good chunk of wealth in a tax haven?

    The only thing that video shows is that this movement needs designated public speakers.

    If he has it then he has it. All the government can do is take what they can legally get.

    I don't think that's a good idea. There's the risk of mission creep i.e. more and more demands added to the movement which loses support among the population and the movement's supporters. There's also the risk of the movement's message being hijacked or not properly made by the designated speakers.
