when we yell about fascism please understand we are not exaggerating. lawyers tell me to ‘get my head out from underwater and get a reality check’ and to trust them. i tell them i’ve been doing this for ten months and to trust us, instead. this IS a well veiled fascist police state that relies on the complicit majority.
There is no public space, there is no free speech. #chalkupy chalk up the world for resistance!

Photo’s from the NATO protest. This is what a police state looks like
All the people defending the police state, ask yourself why they are there. To protect the property and closed door meetings of the elite and corporate forces that warmonger around the world. They joined the police force and left the working class, they are now part of a privileged class of people that enforce the law and protect the status quo. The only violence I see is that which is deemed legitimate by the state: police repression.
Why are we there? Because we want a better world, we want to stop invading countries and killing people. We want to stop private contractors and mercenaries from raping and pillaging.
You want to know why we’re frustrated? Because protest in this country isn’t valued. The representatives don’t care what we have to say. The capitalists don’t care how many unemployed, under-remployed, exploited and homeless there are dying in the streets. The ‘representative’ government does not represent you!More appropriately, what land of the free and home of the brave? What free speech? What free assembly? What public space?
