You have empty rallies because talking about "toppling multinational corporations" is a stupid, economically destructive endeavor. The American left has failed to expand passed our own cultural ghetto? What the hell does that even mean? I suppose if you're talking about radical left-wing SDS bs, then yes, your message is a tough sell. But if you're talking about viable 'left' policies like fairer tax structure and increased social welfare programs-look around. Also, who the hell even reads adbusters and what do 'hipsters' have to do with anything? I think you're just as guilty as the hipsters you lament by using that word in the title of your post only to attract trendy bloggers to your dead end cause. This is absurd.
