I have something new to display, because it's just so cool...



I just got this tattoo of "We Are The 99%", an unassailable slogan originated by the Occupy movement. It's an amateur tat, but it's permanent. Most tattoos are. Permanent as can be.

Isn't this cool?

I don't obsess over this tattoo, but a few people have, because it was just so cool. I sort of forgot it was there, until people brang it up yesterday.

But it's cool for many more reasons.

Anyone who, without an ounce of irony, uses the term "99%" is not a genuine leftist*.


*Of course I mean of the more radical variety, left-liberals and soc-dems are safe from this criticism

I'm an alt-left populist.

if you're going to get something put on your body that'll be there until you die, at least make sure that it looks good...

It looks better in person. Plus, it hadn't fully healed yet in that photo.

Given it's permanent nature, does this mean you are admitting defeat?

"We Are The 99%" will always be a relevant slogan - as long as the 1% hoards wealth. If economic inequality is abolished, I'm proud to have this slogan as a lasting sign of my work.

Not a fan of tattoos.  So I give you points for being able to cover it up with a long sleeved shirt.

That said.. it's something you wanted to help express who you are.. so congratulations! 

Now just don't go covering yourself from head to toe.

In Arkansas, the 1% is anyone making >$100,000 a year. That means that the average D. C. income would be in the top 1% in our state.

Pic doesn't show to me.

Last year, my bro told me he wanted to make the classical anarchy tatoo, ironically enough this will came to him after he just been dropped to big enough job responsibilities, so I told him, nah, that's over done and inherently seen as a cute teenie thing now at best, he rather agreed, then we tried to give it an update, a kind of spontaneous brainstorming took place during a part of the night and it led us to go again through stuffs we sometimes wonder about with my 2 bros, that are new forms of democracy and of realistic constructive forms of anarchy, or stuffs like that, and within that brainstorming, maybe kinda naturally came to my mind the formule 'Democratic Anarchy', I first quite enjoyed the appearing paradoxe going on with the fact that it could be theorically and concretely defended, he was kinda f**king pleased of the word too, then the brainstorming went into trying to update the classical anarchy tatoo that way, we tried several things and, in the end, few days later, he posted me that pic:


Greek letters to remind the Greek etymology of each word, which matters.

I had set something that showed more like a D so that it isn't taken for the classical anarchy stuff, but it was his buisness between him and tatooer.
