The odds are stacked against us, 99 to 1. We're the 99 and we're getting our asses kicked from one end of town to the other.

They fucking OWN us.

3. This is a communications war. Marshall McLuhan and Tim Leary warned us.
The medium IS the message. Whomever controls the media controls the message. "They" are not even fighting "Us", we are.

4. Interesting
I certainly see evidence that we are partially in a class war; i.e. some members of the ruling class have decided they need to increase their power and wealth at the expense of the working/middle class (what's left of it).

Other of the upper class seem aware that our current path is unsustainable.

5. Well it would be a war if we chose to fight back
but some beer and TV, hell add a few chips... and people just sit on them asses.

Americans have been programed to believe that fighting back is un-American or som'thing.

And I am losing any hope that Muricans will fight back in my lifetime.

The generation of the Great Depression would have been in the streets in strikes a long time ago.

6. Our President seems to have sided with the 1%
and half of DU is okay with that because personal loyalty is the only kind they know.
