RNC Protester On Tearing The System Down

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  August 28th, 2012 at 08:00 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

The below video is a “conversation” between an interviewer with Revealing Politics and a very angry bandanna.

Bandanna says “choice A” and “choice B”, presumably the Republicans and Democrats, are fighting for the same things and “lying openly to the American people”. He cites the constitution to express his belief that the whole system should be abolished and replaced, which is not really surprising, as everyone knows that bandannas and systems are natural enemies in the wild.

Leaving aside the process by which the system would be abolished, his idea for replacing it is genius. Democracy and freedom, my friends. But not capitalism. Also, banks and stuff! Bandanna and interviewer didn’t get very far into the weeds discussing details and policies that Bandanna would prefer, or methods of saving and investment that he would find acceptable, but we did get some lovely yelling about things and wild gesturing. Hey, every day can’t be Christmas.

    Gee, all these things no one knew or seemed to care about. He used ‘Democracy’ in his first few words and it turned into White Noise {for little old me} after that.
    What’s with The Masks? Is this a Fashion Statement, or are all these ‘Activists’ just double-ugly and ashamed? You can still see the creases in their bandannas.
    I used to hang with citizens such as this {i e” ‘Passionate’, ‘involved’, strident, breathless}
    But this sort of behavior and The People you have to be near got sooo very boooring.
    The loudest were never around “to do stuff.” It was always, “Next Time, guys…”
    Not Christmas, Caleb. Halloween and Mardi Gras rolled into one. No beads, though.

    Anarchists will never get it. If “the system” is crashed, the created power vacuum will be filled by the former military, ex-law enforcement and organized crime. This would essentially be a caricature of everything they see as wrong with “the system” to the nth power: military authority and capitalism (as they understand it) run amok.

    They will find no agrarian utopia where we distribute the harvest with fairness on facebook, no academic collective where each person explores their path to realized being, no green factories where smartphones and ipads magically appear at the end of the line. Just thugs and soldiers enforcing rules that ensure their location at the top of the food chain. Pretty much everything they claim the capitalists are doing to us now, only for real.

    Then the border wars start, and it all goes downhill from there.

    But I doubt that we could explain any of this to Mr. Bandanna-head. “The system” is much bigger and more resilient than our rebel without a pause could ever envision. For now “The Man” should be safe.
