~ florries ~ Leave a comment

A 30 minute Youtube-documentary I made on the 15th of October Occupy/Real Democracy/r-love-ution demonstration in Vienna. Interviews in English, subtitles in English for demonstration signs + shots from the “talking stick” circle, which started the day.

Next global R-Love-ution: 11.11.11

Occupy Vienna directly occupied a big, empty house in central Vienna – Lindengasse 60 – the “Epizentrum”:

Suggestion for a new Anonymous slogan

Anonymous_emblem

An interesting part of the sub culture for change is Anonymous and other net hacking activity, which have done much more good than mass media wants to admit… But I always react quite strongly on the slogan of Anonymous – “We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”

How about: “We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forget. We might forgive, but first much has to change. Expect us.” – or smth along those lines.

Just a suggestion… 😉

To all you people out there – you have my full support – rock on! It seems like you’re doing so much good with the time, besides of course just the fact that you’re there. But I also love the work shops, culture groups, your general assemblies, the tests and development of direct democracy at meetings, etc. I find you great. Big hugs!

 

Bail out the people instead of the banks

Just read an article in the Guardian where the IMF managing director Christine Lagarde tells Europe to bail out the banks – again. Excuse me? What? So after having bailed out our banks, and them seeing them one year later going on with business as usual, paying out massive bonuses instead of using profits to provide better conditions for the people – we should bail out the banks again?

Well.
