I will never understand protests against responsible government budgeting methods. Do people think money comes in an unlimited supply to governments? This, and the recent Quebec anti-austerity protests really disgust me.

Because austerity programs have a long and well documented history of not working at all and making things worse for the poorest members of society.

Also, glitter is very shaming. Somehow.

People all over the world are sick of being financially penalized for government mismanagement and malfeasance, and 'austerity' is just a fancy way of saying higher taxes (actual or de facto) on the already heavily burdened middle class. You can't expect them to be anything other than really pissed off when the bureaucrats who broke everything in the first place ask them to foot the repair bill.

So the alternative of pretending like everything's fine and spending indiscriminately while taking out higher government debt is preferred? I'm not saying that those in power are angels, just that sometimes a citizen has to take one for the team.

They can't pretend that everything is fine because their financial situation tells them otherwise, and they certainly don't want government to continue throwing good money after bad. This isn't a matter of people not wanting to pay their share of the tax burden. The middle class in much of Europe and North America has been taking one for the team for so long that they no longer have anything left to give. They're tired of tightening their belts while those who create the problems (politicians) and those who benefit from the solutions (bankers) live a lavish lifestyle at their expense.

Austerity is the believe that to keep a fire going, you chop off and feed it the hands that load the wood.

I'll bet this girl's parents just shake their heads and sigh every time they think about how much money they spent sending her to college.

You know, if it weren't for wanting to fuck underage girls, your comments would be basically indistinguishable from the standard youtube conservative.

Wait, maybe that's not unique, either.

I like FEMEN and Pussy Riot. They are very effective at puncturing unwarranted dignity.

Also their balls are huge.

Think of all the good that could be done if our country's activists turned the shame machine against individual bankers and lobbyists instead of spending all their time campaigning against cleavage in video games and the Bechdel Test.

Yes, clearly protesting is a zero-sum game. You dumb fucking MRA.


wtf japan - 2015-04-24

Think of all the good that could be done if lonely manchildren turned their indignation on perpetrators of actual injustice instead of crying into their hot pockets every time someone points out that their pixelated fantasies are gross and dumb.

Would.

I mean... wait...

No, no, that's what I meant.
