The revolution will not come from any OWS bullshit, or civil discussion and debate, or celebrities getting on their soapbox.
The revolution will come the way all true revolutions manifest; in ugly, irrational, violent ways where the majority of the population reaches a tipping point in their dissatisfaction and disgust with their political leaders. The U.S. has done an incredible job of maintaining a police and prison state to ward off peasant uprisings and disgruntled military servicemen and this is no accident. As we move towards a totalitarian state, it doesn't necessarily mean that a true revolution is impossible, but it will be very fucking ugly.
