Re: LQD: "Tahrir Virus" comes to Europe (4.00 / 3)

The Spanish "15 May Movement" has been organised around the mottos "Real Democracy Already" (Democracia Real Ya) or "Get indignant" (Indígnate). There is a website: http://democraciarealya.es/

There are associated facebook groups in Paris, Berlin, Lisbon, Athens, Florence, and Budapest.

"Get indignant" (Indígnate)

I'm thinking that the (American) English would be get pissed, which is different (but not mutually exclusive) with the way that the British use the phrase.

I prefer "Get Fired Up" even if Obama has co-opted it. "Get Pissed" just seems too tea-party.

I prefer "get pissed". The problem with the tea party is not their anger, its in taking their marching orders from Big Oil and Fox News.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

http://democraciarealya.es/ gives me a blank page. But our ET posters who are fluent in Spanish could comment and provide appropriate links to ET diaries and comments for this site.
