Battle for the Soul of Occupy

The Nation Magazine wins Round #4.

“Boots. Check. Gas mask. Yup. Black pants. Got it. Water bottle and Bandana. Tent. okay. People’s Library. Sounds good. Solidarity.”

“Will that be all?”

“Oh yes, and one revolution please.”

“And how will you be paying for that? Cash or credit?”

“Credit.”

As occupiers across the world prepare for a May uprising, The Nation magazine has some advice for what the movement should do next. “Show your support today for Occupy Wall Street’s Move Your Money Relay by applying for The Nation Magazine Platinum Visa® Rewards Card!” writes Associate Publisher Peggy Randall. We hear some 99% Spring occupiers are even rushing out now to get their Nation credit card in time for the May Day General Strike.

With this kind of boost, we’re sure to succeed.

I suggest you wake up and smell reality before you use your computer. OWS cannot even get a good number of people to show up to a GA how is it supposed to amass more people than the military? You'll be leading a revolution by yourself.

One question for the adbusters staff person, as well as its other staff, who out this up:

Do you or do you not now own and use a credit card?

If you do, does it or does it not in some way benefit an issuer whose cause you can support?

We'll be waiting for your answer but knowing we will get no answer.

Read the whole letter and you'll see that you morons have done this to yourselves. You created the language, the vocabulary, the various "movements," etc., and now the conventional Left is using you for their own profit and gain. Here's the letter in its entirety:

See? You OWS morons literally and actually wrote their copy for them. Why not stop being tools, stop pretending to be homeless, and stop pretending like anything you do is making a difference (outside of creating a meme that can now be exploited for profit)?

Stupid is as stupid does. But, it's even stupider to keep doing something *after* you've been shown that it's stupid...
