Adbusters tries to explain why they’re pushing forward with #HalloweenParty
This is how Adbusters responds to a friendly attempt by Sam and I to
explain why many in DC do not support their call for a #HalloweenParty
in DC…
Sara and Sam,
Two careerist occupiers devoid of ideas - except for the pitiful,
predictable, irrelevant Inauguration Day rally - should not prevent
others from floating memes. You are the same cynical, entrenched and
all-too-comfortable forces that Occupy had to jump over to launch this
movement. Of course, back then it was a different set of careerist
activists who said it would never work. They are gone now.
The world is in an endgame struggle: capitalism is in terminal crisis
and ecological catastrophe is underway… This is about catalyzing a
global revolution before it is too late and not about your individual
egos and small turf mentality. If you have nothing to contribute to the
revolution, then stand aside. Otherwise, we will keep on jumping right
over you.
The #HALLOWEENPARTY goes forward.
for the wild,
Kalle and Micah
That is exactly what Adbusters does, “float memes”- not do any real
organizing. For the wildly idiotic.
For some background here is what they first said to try to sell us on
the idea of the #halloweenparty
Hi Sam,
Yes the beauty of the Halloween Party is that it is easy. No GAs, no
planning, no logistics, no encampments necessary - we just show up and
poke fun at the election spectacle days before the vote. A chance for
Occupy to shift the mood of the nation at a delicate political moment.
I think the Occupy movement as a whole would appreciate any help that
ODC can provide in spreading the word and getting people to show up on
Halloween. It could be one of those unexpected moments of truth…
for the wild,
Micah
And this was our
