@St_Rev Does this happen with other political groups too? "Progs" seems awfully specific.

@ContentOfMedia It's a prog speciality. Stuff like the Oregon standoff is outnumberered 100x or more by sit-ins, demonstrations, etc. -
@ContentOfMedia And what's happening right now with internet media, open source, etc. is the left saying "nice place, we own it now". -
@St_Rev Well, that's certainly true. I wonder if there's a similar thing in some other context. Theology, maybe? -
@St_Rev If I say "freaks create, progs occupy", I signal a specific politics. If I say "freaks create, suits occupy" (for ex.) I don't. -
@St_Rev I'd like to critique the carpetbagging without turning off half my audience. -
@ContentOfMedia Sorry about that! -
@ContentOfMedia If you say "freaks create, suits occupy" you'll be acceptable, and also lying. Get a backbone. - 4 more replies

@St_Rev On the contrary a lot of progs work in creative industries. They certainly have the power to occupy but do still create themselves. -
@St_Rev I wanted to believe you but creativity isn't the domain of a single political faction. -
@nouswaves Freak isn't a political faction. -
@St_Rev But prog is. Look - I'm just saying it implied that freaks are the only creators and progs merely take. -
@nouswaves You're essentializing. There are prog freaks. Rare individuals create, mobs occupy. In the present, those mobs are prog. -
@St_Rev I was mostly thinking about how Hollywood and the rest of the media are both prog *and* creative. -
@St_Rev Unless that's merely occupation and nobody is doing any creating there... -
@St_Rev In London at least the "artier" somebody is the more likely it is they belong to progressive communities. - 3 more replies
