And I am positive that you would turn me over to the Thought Police if you could. However, this not the point. The point is that Chowder went down to a very legitimate protest against very insidious legislation, and deliberately antagonized the protesters, whom he knew to be rightfully livid about legislation which he and the neofascist propaganda machine he represents had deliberately misinformed the American people. Chowder willfully picked a fight so that the neofascists who employ him could portray the union supporters as violent and criminal, thereby attempting to turn public opinion against organized labor.
Understand that RTW is not a mere cognitive matter. It is an attack upon the protesters means of making a living and surviving in the world. And whether you recognize it or not, it is an issue which informed middle class citizens should be expected to fight against, physically, as it is a literal declaration of war against, not only organized labor, but the American Dream.
I am NOT interested in the legalities of the issue. The sort of civil unrest which RTW will manifest in the fullness of time will be entirely outside the bounds of civil and criminal law. Of this, you can be certain. There will be blood in the streets, just as there was during the formative years of organized labor; so get this through your head right now: a mere punch in the face to some ass-clown talking-head is nothing compared to what is sure to come in the not too distant future. I am not saying this prescriptively---that would be redundant considering what we already know about the history of organized labor in conflict with wealthy upper class plutocrats. However, I am saying it descriptively. In the fullness of time, Chowder, and all such mouthpieces for a neofascist plutocracy, will be inclined to say their prayers every time they start their car engine, or even step outside their own front door to pick up the mail. Labor unions are ultimately a street thing since the struggles entailed with obtaining a decent wage and decent working conditions are invariably taken to the streets when representative government merely represents the interests of an uber-wealthy upper class minority (as happens every time RTW legislation is passed).
