Cops and Protesters Clash at the Olympics
Here is a link from the no2010 website on a current update on the Olympics protest. Reading the article and comments I realize that nothing is gonna change. I feel a bit disheartened especially reading the writings of the peacenecks as it is not "how do we motivate and change the world," but as "The cops are good and the masked anarchists are bad." Same shit her, same reason nothing will change in this arena, so damned much infighting and gandhi quoting with no real motivation to change the way things are. Afterall, look at the Peaceneck support of police violence but against the masked alleged anarchist violence. The corporate violence is not even mentioned, and nothing is gonna change unless we can somehow move beyond our own self-righteousness and somehow unite. The holier than thou types will always see their allies as lessers and their enemies, such as the riot cops, as allies. We'll see what continues to happen throughout the rest of the illegal occupation of indigenous lands by the International Olympics Committee.
