Peace Marches are cool!

by Swami Tsunami
March 15 we invited a bunch of friends over and made whimsical signs for the groovy peace march! We drank Mimosas and ate bagels with lox, then headed down to Jefferson park!

Gosh it will be so cool! Maybe we can bring
down "The Man."

At the very least everybody will see us, out there
on the street, making a difference. Who said
we were irrelevant losers. Not us!

Sure, drive your Saab over, buddy! Don't forget to bring a warm sweater though!

Cops galore!

Do you know how much each of these calls costs the American taxpayer? LOL!

I won't feel bad keeping you from work on the day war breaks out. I won't feel bad for you at all, stuck in traffic, shouting into your cell phone. How cool you will be, then!

Buzz off, freeper

This exchange (and others on nearby posts by Swami Tsunami) is a little weird. It's as though all the posters are playing some kind of psy-ops game. Or maybe I'm just a little dense. Anyway, I guess I just wondered if anyone else is confused. Maybe it's not worth wondering about.

I want to thank all the break away marchers for all of their fine work. See I work for an insurance company, a major insurance company here in SF that has made TONS of money every time you people go off and play like little children. Since you started this stuff back in January, I have received 2 large bonuses for the amount of insurance claims processed, (from the damage you cause). If I’m getting bonuses for claims processed, just imagine just how much money you fools are making my company. Do you understand that every time you do the “Black Bloc” thing, you are making major corporations big bucks? The little guy who owns the car you just vandalized, and the poor slob who owns that little store you just broke the window out of, and the major company that you just spray painted the walls of, are paying us to fix it through insurance. Keep American strong; keep making big business big money……………FOOLS
by whatever
lox is the nastiest food substance I've ever encountered....worse than haggis or even Vegimite...and I mean the REAL vegimite....the scrapings off the bottom of a beer barrel.

That isn't true at all.
If you're an insurance adjuster, show us the pictures of the private automobile and the small business attacked by anyone during the 2/16 breakaway march. You can't, because those things were not targeted and no one associated with an anarchist group would do such a thing.

by Just me
First of all I’m not an adjuster, that’s very low level in any company. My position is much much higher. Second, it is completely obvious that you have never been to a break away march in San Francisco, if you believe that anarchist would never do such a thing. PLEASE, don't misunderstand me, I love what you do, this is better than going to Reno. Talk about easy money. You all show up, act like two-year olds and my company and I make tons of money...Corporate America and big business thanks you and I THANK YOU!!!!!!

We'll get it back. We always do. It's only a matter of time.

No you won't. You're too damn stupid.

Hahahahahahahahah.

If only you knew.
by grrr
Great....now we've got anarchists and insurance guys arguing and the best the anarchist came up with is "Well, you're just stupid."

Great argument. Way to make our point seem logical. Way to further the cause.

Shut up and go home, loser.
by the anarchist
That wasn't me. That was the insurance guy.
by me
No, it was NOT the insurance guy. YOUR logical and expert response of, “No you won't. You're too damn stupid,” was just what it would expect from your type. AGAIN, for the record…. Keep doing your black bloc stuff and making me money! The wife and I want to take a cruise to Alaska this summer. I’m not putting you down, I love the big buck you make me and my big corporate business money. My stock are doing great!!! When you look in the mirror in the morning, do you ever stop to think, is what I am doing really helping to stop the war or just making big corporate America more money? If you would stop the childish stuff of breaking other peoples things, you would realize that you are just making the rich richer!!!
by the anarchist
It wasn't me. So if it wasn't you, either, who was it?

BTW, at least on anarchist has already addressed the direct action/insurance industry equation.

. . . ust because violence is morally justified in some situations does not mean it is required, or that it is necessarily the wisest thing to do. Au contraire. All actions have consequences. Consequences, not the musings of moralists, are the most important aspect of any action. Look at the consequences of the ALF/ELF actions, not the media images and the moral debate. Pay particular attention to who actually benefits. It isn't always immediately obvious. Keep in mind at all times that the property destroyed by the ALF and ELF is heavily insured. Insurance fraud by arson is exceedingly common. Like all crimes, it is easiest to get away with when there is a plausible patsy on hand to take the fall.
