General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Occupy Steubenville at noon today. I'll be there [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)...with which I disagree.
1)Who do you think "the 'Occupy' folks" are?
Do you really believe there is a central headquarters with an address and a Governing, Licensing, and Organizing Council?
2) The spontaneous associations with "Occupy" makes the grass-roots opposition to the entrenched oligarchy much stronger and more unified.
It also makes it impossible for TPTB to decapitate and marginalize the movement.
Instead of a bunch of smaller protests with different names with more limited agendas,
we now have an International Movement with multiple general goals which is much more difficult for the Media and our Politicians to ignore.
Like that damned Whack-a-Mole game,
OCCUPY keeps popping up all over the place!
Some people seem very unhappy about the persistence and longevity of this movement.
"Yes, Virginia.
The Natives are Restless,
and there is a whole big bunch of them everywhere."
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
