"One of the most brilliant things the Nazis did was to coopt rationality, and to coopt hope. They created circumstances such that at every step of the way it was in the Jews' rational best interests not to resist. Would you rather get an ID card, or resist and possibly get killed? Would you rather take a journey on a cattle car, or resist and possibly get killed? At each step, choices have been reduced such that the victims participate "of their own free will."

So, do you want to the cops to attack the protestors or do you want the global corporations to gut your economy and continue creating an unanswerable global oligarchy? Your choice, citizen.

Korea is in a perpetual state of protest, they just take some days off without notice. (And those Koreans obviously planned ahead and in great number, Toronto protesters didn't intend to burn anything, it took black bloc morons bused in from Montreal to do a half-assed job of it.)

Unfortunately, few bad apples got the main demonstrators message off track. The police responds with blind disproportionate unjustified force. So many innocent bystanders were either arrested or physically hurt.
- I wonder how many of those "bad apples" were cops inciting a riotscrap_paper

Funny thing is, some of these idiots will probably be rubbing elbows with some of these cops at a bar in a week's time and neither will have any idea.

re, that pic above with the cops surrounding everyone...
the technique is called "kettling" - It has been often criticised because it leads to the arrest of law abiding protesters and is known to be an inflammatory tactic because people are held in the same space for many hours and are denied access to food/water and are also unable to go to the toilet etc.
