Day of FAIL: Nationwide anti-capitalist revolution flops
September 18, 2011 - 3:06 pm - by Zombie
September 17 was supposed to be the Day of Rage, the starting point of an anti-capitalist revolution that (in theory) was going to sweep the country coast-to-coast. As I noted yesterday, The plan is to protest in state capitals and major cities across the nation, but the focus of the revolution will be in New York, where a hoped-for 20,000 anti-capitalists will occupy Wall Street.
I dutifully sent my operatives out to cover what were to be three of the largest Day of Rage protests in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles so humanity would have a full record of this pivotal moment in history.
Really, I should have learned my lesson by now: The bigger the build-up to a protest, and the more grandiose the promises, the louder the sound of the bellyflop onto the dustbin of irrelevancy.
In other words: Day of Rage was a massive FAIL.
This photo essay includes photos from all three protest sites (NY, SF and LA) integrated together, to give you the feel of the fizzled revolution as a whole.
The photographs in this essay are by: Urban Infidel (New York); Ringo (Los Angeles); and Chicken Kiev, juklux, and zombie (San Francisco). All credit goes to them.
There are way too many pictures to post here so just click on the link....
