So this is the beginning of the end
Good grief! They sounded like a cult at the beginning of the video.
😊😮🎉❤
Remember when the Dems weren't complete shills for international corporations?
😂😂
Liberals have been saying the "whose streets, our streets"chant since the 90s? 😂😂
Trump is in FILES!!!!
Thanks,
and Clinton signed WTO and in 2001, WTO included china. Between 2001 to 2016 56,000 factories shut down and decimated tens of thousands of jobs and the small cities thar depended on the tax revenue caused those cities goverment to collapse.
The immigrants have taken over the few manufacturing jobs left in the US. That and they are buying up property like crazy and are slum lords, just like their home country
So much NPC energy in this doc.
This is straight up bullshit. Think people. Your brains are free until you decide to enslave yourself to a movement based on fear and false hope.
once they got a taste of fake house prices, they soon went quiet……

ألمانيا أنا بوذا لم يريدنني ان أذهب تركيا لأنهم وجدوا الجنس هنا في المغرب هاهاهاه
So where are these young protesters 26 years later? Hopefully they have grown up.
The pigs have not changed a bit.

No offense..but no democracy in the USA..first zionist “israel” controls everything from the president to ur elected senators
Second they tell u u got democracy but actualy u got 2 parties..so u either vote left or right..but in the end both parties r controled by the deep state..so its the alure of democracy only. And americans know tht. Deep down they know it and they dont trust their fed gov.
America should have a Revolution!!
Best cameraman
Making this documentary they thought they were so cool. 16 years later people are just making fun of them, and rightfully so.😂
AMAZING!! I am soo proud of The People!! We ARE Seattle, and We WILL Fight Again!!
Same place different time😕
what happened in seattle 1999, and has is rreall war criminals done business with microsoft in seattle. The anti-globalization efforts did not stop globalization and business from skull people.
1999, what else happened . Looking down on the ground, from up above tiny tragedy every ware. 😢
Liberals used to be pretty based.
hempfest went world-wide
Demoncratic party con artists couldn't make it more obvious, these are earlier actors just like Hollyweird whom they're following on their television screens, they are inciting falsehoods to stipulate manipulate and regulate just to justify the cruel force.
The irony is that they were rioting for FAIR trade, including large tariffs because companies were exploiting third world slave labor, child labor, lack of environmental regulations and protections, etc that also prevented lower classes of people to work here. Now the left is rioting FOR massive corporations to exploit the third world so we can have six aisles of chew toys for our Labradoodles, encouraging environmental destruction and a dearth of jobs here (they also riot to make sure there's always millions of illegals to keep those jobs CHEAP). The "No Kings" displays were funded by Arabella Advisers, through their global billionaire clients. The hypocrisy and blindness is off the charts for the current left.
Seattle is disgusting! Poop on the streets, needles everywhere all just how the wack job communists like it.
