Occupy / Politics Rally to Mark 10 Years in Afghanistan Finds a Friend in Occupy Portland

Posted by Denis C. Theriault on Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 4:15 PM

As part of the festivities (probably not the right word) planned for tomorrow's Global Day of Action, Occupy Portland is planning to make cause with Peace and Justice Works and march in solidarity with PJW's call to get American asses out of Afghanistan.

Read all about it.

I thought the Taliban was running this country (and giving us 9/11) from a home base of Afghanistan.
I thought women were brutally repressed in this country?
I thought extremist religous ideals was in control there?
Fuck this stupid protest.
Iran was wrong to go to war with, not this place.

I'm all for a reduction in the military industrial complex, but "Bring Our $$ Home" just doesn't seem too classy to me, implying that "soldiers" and "money" are interchangeable subjects when, in fact, we could probably be occupying the region with death robots. Probably the only reason we don't deploy the death robot army is is that it would cost twice as much and, let's face it, we're in a recession here, guys.

Yes, what Occupy needs is to layer on some more issues. Brilliant.

I'm just as in favor of greater consumer protection from certain deleterious practices of the financial industry as the next joe schmoe but this "amalgamated" protest is rapidly dwindling into a total fucktard fest.

Lotta PRO-war chicken-hawks i see here. Can't get enough war, eh folks? Should we abolish our child-labor laws, privatize MediCaid, and deport all brown-skinned people next?
