Occupy leader now works for Google, wants to crowdfund private militia
- presorted 13y agoLink bait. Way down in the article you finally learn that this occupy leader is suggesting a non-violent militia, or really, protesters.
- elsherbini 13y agoWell, she did use the language "fodder for the NYPD." She might not be planning to arm the paid protesters, but she does seem to expect them to at last be on the receiving end of violence.
- justizin 13y agoThe word she's looking for is: union.

- Oletros 13y agoOh, another Yasha Levine "article" about how evil is Google. Shocking.
- ecocentrik 13y agoMore interesting than the bit about the militia is where she is described as arguing ""poverty was not a political problem but “an engineering problem” and told politicians to “get out of the way."" Edit: My interest here is in the reference to hacking social issues, even one as monolithic as poverty.
- cscurmudgeon 13y agoThe government should get out of the way so Google and others can happily collude on keeping salaries down and work merrily on other shenanigans (privacy?, lol).

- hawkharris 13y agoI stopped reading the post because it was extremely opinionated and the author seemed to have a personal axe to grind against his or her subject, making me question the integrity of the information.
- sickntired 13y agoThe sad reality about invoking "Google" for click-bait puposes is that it works. Ad hominem attacks and using an imaginary feud to promote your previous posts is a new low.
- cwisecarver 13y agoMy biggest problem is that on her twitter account she suggested forming a "non-violent militia" which is an oxymoron. Also, pando seems to consistently write articles that's main purpose is to stir shit. read: linkbait.
