The One Percent

This is my contribution to the stupid pile of pictures with words on them springing from the Virtual Occupy Wall Street movement. I'm pretty sure the danger of using social networking for "revolution" is that by doing so, one is still speaking in the language of myth. I don't really know if we're going Marx, Barthes, or Foucault on this, but I'm gonna side with "there is no outside of power". I do think it's important to inspire discourse, but I don't see utopia emerging out of a shitty tent and drum circle any time soon. I say keep occupying though, and learn to think critically. And stop wearing fucking leggings as pants.
