GRAMMAR TAKES ANOTHER HIT
Peaceniks embrace the Bushian concept of war on an abstract noun:
Kill capitalism? Why, sir, that would be rather like bombing murder! Truly, the first victim of war is grammar.
(Please take a look at Zombie’s entire, hilarious photo essay. Via LGF.)
Let it be capitalism?
Does that mean we get bonuses if we exceed our daily kill quota?

Father Guido Sarducci. Haven’t seen him in ages…wait…it could be Triar Fuck. You know, from I Sure Would, Forest.
San Francisco is obviously the national belfry for moonbats. The photos are priceless: exhibit A for the Great Irony of capitalism, to wit, that the capitalist society generates such an excess of wealth that even professional idlers can wax fat on the surplus, while wallowing in ignorance and ingratitude (vide - or perhaps you’d rather not - the rotund specimen in red t-shirt emblazoned with the logo of the 1962 Soviet hockey team, prominent man-boobs suggesting squat twin peaks rising above the Martian plain). One can sense the mental ilness in the air, like the smell of oatmeal cookies burning in the oven. With that much hatred focused in one place, I’m amazed that the city did not experience supernatural signs and wonders: maybe a blood-red “W” blazing in the night sky like the aurora borealis, or even a heterosexual wedding ceremony.
And check out the bandana’ed faux-revolutionaries on the right-hand side of the photo.
So brave. And so much to fear here in Bush’s police state. Why, block traffic or trash Starbuck’s and they face a nationally-televised arrest with plastic handcuffs by police officers carefully reciting their Miranda rights, representation by activist lawyers who’ll turn any attempt at meting out consequences into a mockery, and a slap on the wrist from authorities who’ve better things to do than babysit spoiled brats.
Quite obvious these tinker-toy rebels have never been outside the wire and have never known real fear. The only pleasure I can think of in the sort of revolution these idiots hope for is watching them shit themselves in shock and surprise when the thugs who take over make it violently clear who is in charge. Naifs.
Leigh, the Zionists just bounced a fresh mind control message-bearing ray beam off their satellite and into my head, now I know the truthful truthiness : JFK Killed Bush in alternate future-history backflash conspiracy.
“Let It Be Capitalism”. Wait, so he wants capitalism to do the killing? Or is that some veiled comment about Paul McCartney cashing in with the release of that Let It Be’ special edition CD?
Capitalism? What the hell’s this bozo got against Capital letters anyway? He sure used enough of them in his sign.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 03 20 at 10:50 AM • permalinkThe second page of Zombie’s photo eassays, on the Anarchist book fair, might be even more entertaining. Isn’t the whole idea of actually organising an event like the bookfair anti-anarchism? Shouldn’t they just all meet up maybe, somewhere, maybe, wherever, who knows, whenever? Or not?
The Anarchist soccer match! Brilliant!
The continual use of the Che Guv image : somewhere back in the ‘70s, the real Che Guv photo portrait became mixed up in protestors’ minds with the fake portrait used to promote some Che movie.
The real and fake Che portraits are now so intertwined, few know which one is the real photo of Che Guv and which is just some actor portraying him in a movie, which is pretty funny. I think the Che image without the moustache is the fake one, might be wrong there.

Re. Page Two:
Three (more?) ironies about the Anarchist Book Fair:
1) anarchists lined up [queuing] to buy shit;
2) anticapitalist anarchists selling shit for money (I wonder if any take credit cards too, like the Online Communist sites do?); and
3) anarchists paying for shit insted of just taking it even if they’d have to run away to get away with it.I’m guessing that Steal This Book wasn’t a big seller there.

My favorites: The babe in the “Fuck You” tank top. Simple, concise, straightforward and generic. Suitable for any occasion. And the “Old Lesbians Organizing for Change” although I think their message lacks clarity. Organizing for spare change? Sea change? Sex change? Specificity, as always, is the key. And say, does anyone know where I can get one of those 2004 Republican convention commemorative shirts? Co-ol. Lovely day yesterday here in No Cal. Nice respite from the wacky weather of the last few weeks.
Ah, Spring! When the Moonbats return to San Francisco…
Nah, they winter there too. They just don’t venture out of their caves as often.
The demise of the once significant Baby Boomer generation on parade.
Oooh, bite your tongue. We Boomers start retiring in exactly six years. Then it’s Sherman’s march to the sea, baby. We’ll show you significance.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2006 03 20 at 01:16 PM • permalinkI like the protesters with bandanas covering their faces. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gives a shit about these people. Few people even stop to watch, to read their signs and consider their message. So yes, maybe they’re basically inconsequential. But at least they can make themselves look like “bad bad anarchists”, pitted against the hegemonic imperial power of multinational corporations and neoconservatism.
And what does today’s fashionable noncomformist anarchist wear to a parade? Why a bandana, of course. Got to, just got to wear the bandana. That completes the outfit!

You don’t know that. You can’t prove that’s me in a disguise. Because when I wear a disguise, I’m completely unrecognizable. Subterfuge is my middle name. And cunning. Cunning is my other middle name. Wron Subterfuge Cunning Wright.

Gee, I guess there are two Wronwrights working for Rove. It says here in the super secret directory, “Wron Sylvester Ethelbert Wright”. Funny, I don’t see a Wron Subterfuge Cunning Wright. Did you change your middle names for henchman purposes?
#28 The guy is probably earning six figures at one of those “non-profit” orgs.
I just love the non-profit concept. Boatloads of these bozos pull large bucks out of these places as their only means of employment yet they are “non-profit”
Well! Yojimbo you just lack the nuance to understand the utter sophistication involved in the “non-profit” context. Yup. Guess not.
This guy’s on our side! He translated laissez-faire as a gesture of anti-French solidarity. Someone give him some Freedom Fries.
Posted by Paul Zrimsek on 2006 03 20 at 03:58 PM • permalinkI like the protesters with bandanas covering their faces.
With the exception of recognized events like Halloween, Carnival, etc, I think covering your face in public should be treated as the equivalent of walking around with lock-picks, duct tape, a blackjack, and a switchblade.
Posted by Rob Crawford on 2006 03 20 at 04:22 PM • permalinkThere’s a very clever book (can’t recall author) called “Wild Dog” in which a dog living with a well-to-do family (capitalists) decides he’d rather be a Wilddog and so he goes running off into the woods and does all kinds if wild things until it comes to dinner time. Then he realizes he doesn’t know how to open a can, and that he has no can of food anyway. So he returns home to his meal and decides he can play wild dog anytime. Just like the spolied brat jackasses pictured above, except that the dog is loving and has civilized feelings.
Man, the business opportunities are expanding so fast I can’t keep up with them! First, I’ve got this gold mine of a giant tire export company in gear (fortunately, all those Caterpillar dealerships haven’t yet figured out why their earth movers are up on blocks, so my inventory is pretty well stocked), and now I’ve got the chance to make a mint by selling “Kill Capitalism” signs to ageing hippies and well-heeled boomer malcontents at $30 a pop (since I’ve contracted with a bunch of students from ivy-league schools to make the signs for nothing, under the impression that the “Paco Front” is a public interest outfit, ny profit margin is what you might call, “very substantial”). Fat city!
I hope that the authorities will use their new anti-terror laws and shoot the dumb idiots who are wearing those masks. Better yet, send them to Iran so they can wear a Burqua and shut up for a change.

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2006 03 20 at 09:08 PM • permalink#34 Blogstrop,
I caught that on ABC news too. Had to laugh, then check it was the news and not some comedy show.
So let’s see. A new law that reduces the amount of controls over workplace agreements is more like communism than a centrally arranged wage rate and working conditions agreed between parties not directly involved in the actual workplace. Riiiight!Actually I think what had the ACTU really pissed is that the recently tabled Regulations to go with the new laws specifically outlaw a tactic the ACTU no doubt was planning on taking up, being industry wide writing in of the old dismissal procedures into workplace agreements. Damn those neocons! Missed it by that much!
#44, maybe because most of the protests have taken place at night, when most white people appear to be darker-skinned than they actually are? I think you need to go and read some French media and get a clearer picture of what is actually going on in Paris right now. That comment was more delusional than the guy with ‘Kill Capitalism’ sign.

Nah, I think LLL got it right this time…as far as I’ve been able to see on the news, there isn’t terribly much overlap between the French student population and the Banlieue kids. (Wasn’t that one of the big complaints back during the riots that Muslims are virtually shut out of higher education opportunities in France?) And in fact, I recall one incident a couple of years ago where Muslim youth beat up protesting French students during a “peace for Iraq” protest or somesuch, just because they could…I think that got a bit of a chuckle on the old TB blog, even.
#39 Paco
I trust you are not running those businesses on Karl’s time (taps foot significantly).#44
Nah, they really are the spoiled, pampered, privileged elite of France. They are objecting to diminution of their privileges, which help to keep the unemployment rate there 2-3 times higher than in the USA for decades at a time, and in those banlieues at up to 50 per cent for poorly educated people their age. But they are idealists, just ask them.Posted by Michael Lonie on 2006 03 21 at 12:37 AM • permalinkPW, the fact that he is occasionally accurate doesn’t change my opinion that LLL is delusional…

Posted by MentalFloss on 2006 03 21 at 01:20 AM • permalinkWhile I appreciated the efforts of all those who came out to entertain us, I must admit that I fell immediately in love with the Old Lesbians. Well…not IN love…er, not that there’s anything wrong with that…. Bless their tired old hearts, though, it’s hard lay claim to being an activist while sitting on a wall.
Who knew Old Lesbians were a separate group?
Hmm, well i would pay money to have some coppers (maybe import them from India or Singapore or somewhere) come out of those side streets with some canes or rotans etc, and start whuppin’ a bit of commonsense into all these good for nothin’ arseh*les….
as for the foreign scum in the crowd, they could be frog marched down to the harbour and put on the first boat out of the US, but for these home grown, traitorous ignoramuses, a damn good thrashing just might make them see the light of day… if not they still would think twice before bringing out their shite again….
IF we must kill, let it be capitalism…
So is he saying we should be paid fair market value for our killing?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 03 21 at 03:41 AM • permalinkI wish I could joke about it, but seeing those pictures just made me depressed. They’re so smug, but they’re either evil or stupid. Or both.
If I hated America and capitalism so much, and had such a hard-on for Cuba, I would, y’know, move there. Or at least to Canada. I’m envious of leftards that they have such a cornucopia of nations they see as better than the US, and frustrated that they waste the chance to get the fuck out.
As a libertarian, I’m stuck here. If I were to start hating it, I’d be screwed.
The last time I checked, there were plenty of non-capitalist Workers’ Paradises in the world, and the evil capitalist airlines would be happy to sell Sunglasses Man a ticket to any of them. So why is he still here?
Perhaps he’s too poor to buy that ticket. Let’s all chip in and buy him a one-way seat on the next flight to, say, North Korea. No capitalism there!
Re: #45…
It was looking at pictures published in the FRENCH and German media that prompted my comment here. When I first saw the pictures I thought I was looking at a scene in Gaza!Leftie I’m beginning to think that visitors to this site should start taking the title you’ve given yourself literally. Your smug, presumptive recourse to adolescent name-calling aimed at anyone and everyone with whom you disagree shows just how “tolerant” and “broadminded” you truly are. Every inch a leftie!
#63, if you saw such pictures in French and German media than you are at least partly right, I just didn’t see those same images, the crowd looked mostly young, white, French, and most of the student leaders who met with the French prez were the same. We must have watched and seen different media.
Adolescent name calling? Think you’ll find that I’ve done little, if any, of this, even when plenty of it has been directed my way.
It seems beyond the comprehension of people like yourself that I could believe in the War On Terror and yet think the Iraq War was terribly planned and a disgusting waste of lives, respect the right of Cindy Sheehan to exercise her democratic rights without being called a slut and a whore, and know for a fact that the huge majority of Muslims in the world are completely opposed to violence and believe in the very same freedoms we believe in.
It continues to amaze me that so many supposedly mature people have this overwhelming need to box everybody into either hard Left or Right camps. Haven’t you ever read The Art Of War? Divide and conquer obviously still works a treat in pitting those who believe in peace and freedom and conversative values against each other.
Posted by LeftieLatteLover on 2006 03 22 at 12:36 AM • permalinkListen Leftie, I’m not going to get into a running battle with you, so here is my last word in response to you.
I don’t think that those who are opposed to the Iraq war are fools or idiots or unpatriotic. There are many, sadly, who are simply in it for the platform it provides them. I find their overwhelming grief for the plight of Iraqis, NOW, a little too convenient. Where were they hiding it before 2002/3? Little if any grief from these “bleeding hearts” however for the victims of another war which has also been underway since 2003, the war in the Darfur region of Sudan and its 250,000 victims.
With regard to Islam, I find this new-found tolerance of an intolerant faith nauseating, much like the defence of Communism by those living comfortably in the West was in the 70’s and 80’s. I also find it odd that those who so readily and viciously ridicule the religious beliefs of Christians are just as likely to be among Islam’s most vocal defenders. I don’t believe the majority of Moslems are opposed to violence, not at all! Before they were the victims of a suicide bombing themselves, 57% of Jordanians believed that suicide bombings were acceptable. I believe that many Moslems are probably opposed to violence, but definitely not the majority. Maybe that’s why the 250,000 killed in Sudan have been so callously ignored by the bleeding heart- Islam cheer squad, because these unarmed, civilian victims were deliberately and inconveniently massacred by MOSLEMS!
I am, myself, an atheist. I have voted Labor at every level of government, in every election except one. I voted for a Republic in 1999. I am anti-gun, pro-forest and pro-choice. I support the right of gays to marry, adopt children and have access to IVF like everyone else. I support affirmative action, multiculturalism, the sensible decriminalisation of drugs (even though I don’t even use caffeine myself) and the U.S. lead invasion of Iraq and the war on terror.
Is this what you meant when you attempted to box me in when you used the expression, people like yourself?
But Tim, grammer is part of the patriarchy. Its really edgy to use bad grammer.
Nice selection of Jew hatred on show there.
Its times like these I wish there were hordes of Jewish skinheads to counter-<strike>punch</strike> protest.
