Say a person comes up with a great idea, makes some money, then starts a company producing this idea. He hasn't contributed anything to society?
No and god forbid he give himself a better wage than his employees too
I don't really think the issue is people having money. That's a fine incentive for people to work hard. Personally, the issue for me is people making money off of money. And i don't mean honest investments, i mean lobbying and all that bullshit that shapes american politics so that the wealthy can squeeze a few extra bucks in their pockets when it completely contradicts the well-being of the general public. I'm fine with capitalism so long as there are enough checks in place to keep the government working for the public and not the corporations

I note that you failed to provide support for either figure.
There are no reported numbers. I wonder why? Anyways it went down in over 400 cities across the globe. I'd say 300,000-400,000
Also you may not have "said it" but you sure seem to come across that it's for the best they don't cover it. If that's not the case why don't you actually shed some light on what you actually think instead of hiding behind a shroud of ambiguity??
What was ambiguous about "Perhaps the media is tired of reporting on anything so laughably called a "Million" anything when the numbers always fall so far short of a million. "? Seems clear to me.
The numbers I've seen make it clear that the turnout was embarrassing for the organizers.
300,000 to 400,000 is almost as funny as 1 million. To even hit 300,000 there would have to be the equivalent of 700 in each city. The reported numbers available show that to be a pipe dream. A crack pipe dream.
Organizers lol. There was simply a call to hit the streets. Everything was viral and word of mouth by people who care.
And leave the mayor of Toronto out of this. Anyways keep hiding bro. You are a waste of time at best around here.

i dont know, the million marijuana march fills the streets there
people probably dont like anonymous
or think that maybe its not for everyone and you have to be some sorta hacker to go
or dont want to affiliate with a group that openly encourages espionage and dos attacks against government and corporate entities and public service jobs such as police
or even the claimed hypocrisy of buying the masks and GMO laden fastfood and such
(ever since someone pointed out the mask thing it made me wonder why they just dont make their own Guy Fawkes mask, making mask isnt even that hard , i made a simple paper craft one for Halloween, i also found a great program called pepakura viewer, although its sorta complicated, i havnt successfully made a mask with it yet )
anyways in my opinion the thing that everyone claims is great - thier setup with no leader, is what i think causes a lot of their problems

Ah, so you have no argument so you want to make it about me.
Too funny. 
If "everything was viral and word of mouth by people who care", not many care.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

The masks don't really mean anything at it's not like it's a requirement. Also people have jobs and families and not every single person who supports this cause can participate. That's not realistic. It's not do or die for people yet of course.

all im saying is its ironic how the whole point of what this thread is about, is anon coming together to make a statement against corrupt government.
it's pretty difficult for your voice to be heard as an individual. much easier as a group. groups have their own challenges because sometimes authorities of the government like to behave violently against groups trying to make a statement.
sometimes groups lose their way and forget what their main cause was in the first place. sometimes parts of a group would stray from their original intent and start focusing on other things, like did anyone see the film "fight club"?
all this arguing and bickering on the shroomery is just a reflection of why people have yet to succeed in overthrowing corrupt government. no one can agree on one thing and so everyone ends up arguing over a million different things, nothing gets done, and government continues to profit off it and they remain in control because they're the only group that can actually work together and retain their power.

its fun to argue about this stuff, and play devils advocate
this protest baught a shit ton of food from the biggest chains, baught masks that the film industry gets royalties for, amped up police presence that day,giving overtime to potentially "corrupt" cops

Except the government can't work together either. They just use the peoples money to hire people to agree with them like military and police force.

Pretty much correct. It's just wildly frustrating that even people who know how fucked things are continue to mock and ridicule this kind of thing instead of having some kind of positive reinforcement or at least constructive criticism. Everything is a joke nothing is real here.

Constructive criticism? OK. They should stop using the term "million". It's laughable and does nothing other than make them appear buffoonish.

Many people do and many people don't wear them. I don't see what your point is. So what a movie company gets a few bucks that they get anyway. This is a non issue.
