Re: Occupy Atlanta 'general assembly' not allowing Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia) to speak
Topics: Political News and commentariesIf you want to get a sense of just how strinkingly Maoist and outright laughable the 'Occupier' mob really is, you've simply got to read Tim Cavanaugh's piece at Reason on Occupy Atlanta's "general assembly" not allowing Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia) to speak. Cavanaugh writes:
One important characteristic of mob rule is that it tends to get the outcomes the ruler wants, not the outcomes the mob wants. In this case, the group clearly voted to let Lewis talk, even if that meant risking a slight breach of the day's agenda. But the point here was not to get a voting result but hive-mind unanimity. Of course unanimity can't exist among human beings, so the real purpose of the exercise is to keep checking the crowd's "temperature" until you (edit - in this case, the ruler) get the result you want.Read the whole thing and see the must-watch video - here. Note the absurd, 'finger-wiggling gestures' and the constant parroting of what the "ruler" says, word for word. As Cavenough points out in his piece, nobody in the crowd seems aware that they're enacting a joke from Life of Brian -- and if you can't trust a bunch of miseducated white people to know Monty Python bits, the movement is in serious trouble (see second video at link)
As the old saying goes, you simply can't make this stuff up. These people are fast becoming a parody of themselves.
