Capitalism is Killing Itself

When I arrived to the United States in 2011 my friend told me he had been at the Occupy Wallstreet demonstrations the previous week, I thought he was crazy.

“We’re new to this Country dude, why would you go there and risk your Visa like that?” - Me

“I care about this sort of stuff dude, it’s important that we stand up for what’s right” - Him

Deep down I knew that he was right, but I was too scared of The Empire to do anything like that, instead for the next few years I put my head down, worked 9-6 in New York City, paid a tonne on Money on rent, and booze, and other things, and dealt with the crushing knowledge that I was making $100,000 a year, and someone was making a $1,000,000 or more off of my back.
