Even though this is a sentence of a lyric in a song I believe that the statement is 100% true. Look at what is going on in the world today, and I'm not just talking stateside (United States). I'm talking globally, worldwide, and streching from more than a few countries.
Look at the protests, the demonstrations and oppositions being shown. Some peaceful and some turning violent. Thankfully for the most part the United States has been peaceful with a few protestors getting tased and pepper sprayed.
The big powerful governments enacting new laws restricting their citizens and stripping them of their rights, while also giving more freedom to Big Corporations to do whatever they please. The small 1% control how things run, giving money to crooked politicians and then them returning the favor by changing laws, giving into special interest groups. In their lies the corruption and the ability to allow societies to turn into a dictatorship or rather an oligarchy.
When these things happen and the economy as a whole suffers, it is always put on the working class to try and pay for the problems caused by the government and the big businesses. Raise taxes, cut programs, dip into social security, let jobs go to foreign countries. And those problems exist everywhere. The title of this post refers to the Rich and Powerful pitting the poor against the poor. You may ask yourself, poor against poor? I'm not fighting with my neighnors. No, it's the working class who is pitted against the Law Enforcement and Miltary branches.
Believe it or not, just like us, they have a job to do and that is to uphold the law. Protesting is not illegal, but once you cross the lines then yes you have no right to be there and should be arrested. These men and women who serve as public defenders are trying to uphold the peace, but underneath the surface agreeing with your movement and stance on the subject. Once things get tense and riots start going it's the big business and government who are watching and laughing at the innocents lost in their huge leather chairs on the top story buildings.
Protest yes. But please respect the boundries given. In every union strike there is a line that neither police nor the union members cross. It's the mutual respect we have for one another as they are trying to keep peace while letting us show our disgust for the employers who want to take us for everything. I hope some occupy members read this and take that statement to heart. Stop trying to blame law enforcement for this, as they are not our enemies in this battle. It is the Big Business and the politicians and law makers restricting us and oppressing us back further and worse than the great depression. The only thing worse is with the global markets it just doesn't affect one country, but many.
So please, underdstand we are all on the same side, and the the Military Branches and Law Enforcement Agencies are still part of the 99%.
Together WE STAND UNITED; Divided we fall.
