@Curtmungus your honor of being more famous than me is quite deserved. I salute you.
The G8
-
I have read some on the the G8 and I have one question. What the heck are people protesting it for? I don’t get it.
-
Too much “Big Brother” is out to get us. But I find it futile to protest the way they’re doing. (I hate to say this) Be like Hitler! He too wanted to overthrow the Weimar Republic, but the failure of the Munich Beer Hall revolt taught him an important lesson. You take over the government using the system to your own advantage – from the inside. It’s a waste of money (having to pay for security and damages) and hardly results in any intermediate change.

Well, it depends…
the generation of '68 went on to “go through the system” and change it from within. What happened? The system changed the ppl (e.g. the greens in germany, in power with the social democrats).
It’s all a matter of time, once you are in the system, you have to act quick to change it. Assuming positions of power does take some time though (normally). -
Horten,
The G8 are a summit where the leftist european intellectuals try to make the US do things which are bad for them :) :) :) -

Plus you need a strong leader (ie Hitler) that isn’t easily swayed and can carry out orders.

Don’t rely on standing on a table and shooting in order to over-throw a country!

although standing on a table and shouting can do many other marvelous things . . . .

Keep fighting the system, Horten! Power to the people! 8)
“Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
-
Which ones?
-
Those who are oppressed by the Man of course 8)
-
the man? the white man is always alluded to, not the “establishment.”
-
White man doesn’t always have to mean the “Man.” But as it is, the white man does control the “Establishment.”
-
i always understood it to mean “the administration of the working-structure you are responsible to” - i.e. your boss, the company exec’s and other management, etc.
usually boring white guys.
