ACTIVISM, by Pipes on Mar 24, 2014 0:19:21 GMT 1, This is an interesting BBC documentary about the growth of mass-consumerism.
"It focuses on how the work of Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, and Edward Bernays influenced the way corporations and governments have analyzed, dealt with, and controlled people."

ACTIVISM, by Dr Plip on May 20, 2014 7:25:52 GMT 1, Chilean Activist Destroys Student Debt Papers Worth $500m.
An activist in Chile has burnt documents representing $500 million (£300 million) worth of student debt during a protest at Universidad del Mar.
Francisco Tapia, who is also known as “Papas Fritas”, claimed that he had “freed” the students by setting fire to the debt papers or “pagarés”.
Mr Tapia has justified his actions in a video he posted on YouTube on Monday 12 May, which has since gone viral and garnered over 55,000 views.
In the five-minute video the artist and activist, translated by the Chilean news site Santiago Times, he passionately says: “You don’t have to pay another peso [of your student loan debt]. We have to lose our fear, our fear of being thought of as criminals because we’re poor. I am just like you, living a s**tty life, and I live it day by day — this is my act of love for you.”
He confessed he destroyed the papers without the knowledge of the students during a takeover at the university demanding free higher education.

‘Democracia real ya!’, meaning ‘real democracy now’, is an exciting exhibition of street art by Rosario Martínez Llaguno Roberto Vega Jiménez, who are members of the Mexican art collective Lapiztola Stencil. We need your help to bring the artists to the UK and create a series of original works at the Rich Mix venue in East London. The exhibition will celebrate the fight for economic justice that the artists are involved with in Oaxaca and Mexico as a whole.
We have a proud history of working with organisations around the world that fight for social and economic justice. With your help, we can tell the story of social movements in Mexico through the exhibition. ‘Democracia Real Ya’ will mark the relaunch of the World Development Movement as Global Justice Now in early 2015.
Please make a donation today to help reach our target of £7,000. You can help us put on a powerful, educative and exciting exhibition bringing together our own activism in the UK with the fight for social justice in Mexico and the work of an exciting group of street artists.
In early 2015, social justice campaigning organisation the World Development Movement will become Global Justice Now. It’s an exciting time for us. We’re adopting a name that better reflects who we are, whilst continuing to work with organisations around the world that fight for economic and social justice and fight against a system designed for the few at the expense of the many.
