If you are like me you have been paying with some dismissive attention to this 'occupy wall street' protest in New York, it is of course just co opted crap - totally fake garbage performance by the Education industry and its student minions. That is fake, but people - they are real, and they do interest me. One for the side effects of the protest has been a mass outpouring of emotion on the internet 'I am the 99%' which has been dubbed 'the human face of the protest'. To me it is a window into the soul of post industrial decay - these ugly people and their ugly opinions exposes all the fatal flaws in our corrupt moral system of ethics and values more than it exposes our financial mess.

This idea of human rights and entitlement: Everyone has to be equal, everyone has to have a life, everyone has to have a degree in media studies, everyone has to have a blackberry messenger and a flat in town, and become a pop star - none of them ever question the whys and the wherefores. They have been pumped full of expectations and that sense of entitlement that have been put there by liberalism - Put there to fill the hole left by the destruction of our national culture, family, rights, duties, ect. Our reward for winning the war – to take any amount of shit to replace it with the weakness and dependence on the things liberalism was supposed to bring everyone. Don’t kid yourself, they are an endemic part of the problem.

I don't pity these people at all, they are scum. I had a friend from school that epitomised their condition; His thing was he really wanted to be something; he wanted to be a comedian and film director or some shit, but as an individual he was too weak. The interesting thing happened: When it was clear he was beginning to fail, when the realities of life started catch up with him, when he really needed some courage - instead of accepting the reality of the situation and facing up to it (Which would have then ultimately involved making just a few small changes to his life) he just collapsed into nothing instead. He began to cry, claimed he had a mental disability, faked illnesses and addictions, formed a victim ideology(anarchy), sought out a victim culture(drugs) - and believing in it all 100%. The more things got worse the deeper and deeper into this delusional sense of entitlement. When the state refused to accept he had a medical condition of any kind, he continued to stay on the dole - all the while blaming everything but himself and finding any excuse to not face up to anything.

This is the condition of the leftist movement, it is an identity fetish based on victimhood: If the 20th century was the century of the self, then the early 21st century is the century of the victim. On display is the lowest form of degeneracy and egoism. These people might play themselves the world’s largest violin - but they are the cause of their own problems - As well as my friend, I can't help but making comparisons to the student G20 protest in London which is exactly the same; a protest for more of what we already have; That feeling when tuition fees triple in the space of a year and they scream - FREE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FOR EVERYONE ... To perpetuate the continued destruction by the junk capitalist system, the destruction of the city centres, massive government spending to create sub cultural zones. This temporising brainwashing communist shit has been instilled into the population by capital for the ultimate and continued benefit of capital - to keep people weak and stupid. All this protesting is an emotional charade, it is masturbation - it is a constant lie so it never has to admit its own failure. Even the actual demands of the protestors which include amnesty for illegal immigrants, bigger union powers, Equality legislation, open borders - policies like this are the reason for the declining standard of life and economic collapse. All the Government projects and easy credit that finance their exorbitant lifestyles are what have directly led to this financial meltdown. Think of these people as the last gasp of capitalism.

The way I see it is this - yes things are bad and they are going to get worse. The solution to the problem, like any other problem - is to be proactive and face up to the challenge - to strive and to struggle until victory or death, that is the fascist way!
Just standing around waving signs is embarrassing - it doesn't mean anything unless the people who wave those signs have the power to act. People posting pictures on the internet doesn't mean anything either unless those people are feared. Take responsibility, take control of own destiny, Through your actions you redeem yourself.
