    Be prepared for violence? Of course. Do what you can to stay armed, trained, and active in your local community defense and aid organizations.

    But we don’t NEED violence to effect this change. We aren’t Russia (for now).

    Is it difficult? Of course. But it’s not impossible to effect change.

    I don’t want to wait either. I can see my people suffer this way of life. I wish we could rush to a better place as much as you do. Its all I ever think about when I don’t have my nose stuck in a video game machine or a book. Instant depresso when I leave my basement and behold our twisted visage of a “civilization”.

    This is just the jungle with extra steps.

      Find a major change in society like OWS wanted that didn’t come from a violent revolution. The US had its war against Great Britain and its civil war and more, Canada had its war against the US and against itself (GB vs France, against the patriots in Quebec and so on), there’s been too many violent revolutions in Europe to count…

      The day people truly have had enough with the ultra rich and realize that they’re manipulated into fighting each other instead of fighting for each other, there will be blood on the street.

      The people from OWS just wanted a piece of the pie, to get the whole pie someone’s gotta leave the table.
