I am obv. working because of my identification with the oppressor class but man Oakland is looking to get super-real about this, there's people with signs and police with riot gear and people with signs and police with motorcycles and people with signs and police with teargas guns and people with SIGNS.
Anyone else seen anything going on where they are, is this a thing in the New Yorks and the Seattles and the Washington Dark Carnivals?

Yeah, apparently in Portland, Oregon they're worried about that. There's usually a May Day protest in Portland, but this year they're expecting the Occupy folks to be there too. Don't know if there's anything like that going on near where I live. Hopefully not.

Literally too poor to get the train to May Day celebrations. The master plan of my opressors is revealed.

Lots of Germans over in the border cities of the Netherlands, celebrating their Labour Day by shopping here, while us Dutch folks are working hard.
Shameful, I say. Shameful! We should also have Labour Day here! (Let's just briefly ignore that April 30th is Queen's Day, which is generally also a day off for almost all people.)

Why the fuck would May Day involve riots?

Because its also associated with Unions and left-wing political movements in America for some reason. So people generally use it as an excuse to protest generally about labor and or wealth disparity issues.

It was declared international workers day by the second international in the late 19th century in the after two sets of riots that had occured on May 1. It's a day of stopping work, epressing voice as the proleteriat and brotherhood and union of workers across the world.
Like what the shit else is May Day? It's May so let's have a celebration? |
