This guy is really angry at the economic violence perpetuated by capitalism and the failure of governments to protect it's most vulnerable citizens from poverty and exploitation enabled by the corrupt system we all live under or whatever. Mainly he's mad at the system that forces him to spend $40 on a baseball cap.
"Like, isn't there some way we can bring down the price of vitally important branded merchandise without lowering the wages of the children that make them in the global south? I mean, clearly I'm willing to pay way more than I should for merchandise that carries certain cultural significance to the point where I don't remove labels so that other people don't have to wonder, 'wait a minute, that hat is on and all, but is it a NEW ERA 59FIFTY hat? Oh yeah it is, there's the sticker that proves it'. It just makes me so mad that I could spit, or at least patch together some kind of bizarre incongruous punk aesthetic where I've got a t-shirt that rails against 'the man', matched with a non-ratty jean vest to show how non-conformist and pissed I am at these global injustices or whatever."
There were 2,000 protestors at this protest and many of them were documenting the courageous rising up of 'the people' who were chanted the "whole world is watching" which brought tears to many eyes. They tried out the chant "1,999 photo bloggers are watching!" but it wasn't as catchy.
