If they can bail out the banks with billions of dollars, why can’t they bail me the measly $200 I’m going to lose on these t-shirts? This is why the system is so unfair. This is why there is so much anger right now. Can’t anyone see that?
− Dave, 23,
Occupy Wall St. protestor
The anger of the so-called 99% against the 1% has taken flight in recent months in the Occupy Wall St. movement. While the multitudes of protestors have rather ambiguous, undefined and perplexing goals, the common denominator seems to be their disdain for the wealthy. And nothing is more closely entwined with the wealthy than corporations.
In his hilarious and trenchant Stuff White People Like, Christian Lander explains:
One of the more popular white-person activities of the past fifteen years has been attempting to educate others on the evils of multinational corporations. White people love nothing more than explaining to you how Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, Microsoft, or Halliburton is destroying the Earth’s cultures and resources.
While the growth of multinational corporations can be attributed to a number of complex social, economic, and political factors, many white people prefer to take the word of two trusted sources: No Logo and AdBusters.
No Logo, published in 2000, has been responsible for more white-person “enlightenment” than any book since the burning of the library at Alexandria. By reading this one magic book, white people are able to get a full grasp on the evils of multinational corporations and then regurgitate them to friends and family.
Advanced white people will supplement No Logo with a subscription to AdBusters, where they will learn how to subvert corporate culture and return it to the masses. Specifically, this means taking ads and redoing them to create a negative message about a product. Apparently the belief is that when other people see this ad, they will be hit with an epiphany that their entire existence has been a Matrix-style manufactured universe.
If you plan to engage in lengthy conversations with white people it is recommended that you read No Logo or an issue of AdBusters. Failing that, it is acceptable to buy a copy to leave on your coffee table. When white people see it, they will recognize you as someone who can see through the advertising and has a proper perspective on life.
WARNING: When engaging in a conversation about corporate evils it is important to never, ever mention Apple computers, Target, or IKEA in the same breath as the companies mentioned earlier. White people prefer to hate corporations that don’t make stuff they like.
The Bible condemns greed (Col. 3:5). It also condemns envy (Gal. 5:21), laziness (Heb. 6:12) and rage (Col. 3:8).
Things worth thinking about whether you are the 1% or the 99%.
