Who gives a shit? Do it! Go on your hunger strike and die off, nobody will care. I promise. In fact, a lot of us will be cheering you on!
They will go on a hunger strike, but they won’t see it through. They will cheat by consuming something, and/or they will get hungry enough and quit. But the bottom line is the question I asked in the beginning of this post. Who really gives a shit? It would be great news for us, I could easily live with a few less Democrat voters!
If permission is not granted to protest on Lincoln Center plaza by Thursday evening, some members of Occupy Wall Street will enact a hunger strike. They will not end this strike until their demands are met, starting with the demand that Lincoln Center and the City of New York guarantee the freedoms of speech and assembly on the city-owned plazas and walkways of Lincoln Center. Occupy Museums stand in solidarity with these hunger strikers and offer support for this courageous form of protest.
The symbolic opening of this space for protest stands for the spaces all over the city and country that we vow to liberate from the control of the 1% for the full use of the public.
Brenda J. Elliott brought up an excellent point:
Sorry, OWS, you’ve left out a few details:
Where will this hunger strike take place?
Will cameras be rolling?
Will news reporters cover every feebly-uttered word?Are taxpayers AGAIN going to be picking up the tab as you’re hauled off to the emergency room?
Will anybody care?
Well I can answer the last question. NO! Nobody will care.
