I was a fan of the OWS movement... until this week. The Occupy movement in Amsterdam had squattered the old office of Shell, and in a few weeks time they turned it into an open sewer, destroyed everything, and stripped off all copper wiring and piping, to sell it. A Dutch news show called Powned covered these practices during a few weeks, this week they showed copper thieves in action and getting arrested by the police. These videos are also on
www.geenstijl.nl probably.
Today the Amsterdam police finally wiped clean the building, but it was much too late, the rats saw it coming and most had already left the building, only two refused to go and got arrested.
Fuck this whole Occupy thing. These are just people who are as greedy as everybody else, but who are too stupid to get anywhere in life. They aren't freedom fighters, they don't care about equal rights, they're just frustrated that they didn't make it, and they're jealous. I see a lot of similarities with online content pirates, they come with this same bullshit about freedom, an open internet, the right to share information, but the bottom line is the same as with the Occupy crap: they are greedy. They want to get as much music, games and porn as possible without paying for it. That has nothing to do with freedom and sharing of information.
People in the USA or Europe not having a job but still having a home, a TV, a DVD player, a PC, and most important, food and access to health care need to shut up. I'm even getting my second thoughts about these "freedom fighters" in Libya and Syria. Is it really about freedom or is it about financial greed and power?
