These people are unorganized, aimless, and will fail because they have a faceless nemesis and are unclear about their goals.
Pictures like this are complete potshots.
If you were to cut all corporate consumerism out of your life you'd be naked, alone, and hungry. Its here to stay, the problem is there's not regulation.
I think the fact they're using the phone made by a large corporation to send messages on a social network owned by a large corporation to spread the word is brilliant. Use their own against them.
The other problem with these protests is intermingled with the truly down trodden and broken youth are a lot of stupid ass kids who fucked up their own lives.
I've got no solace for an unwed single mother who's 22. She's a dumb cunt who wasn't on the pill, probably didn't use a condom, and let the guy nut inside her anyways. She deserves the shit she's been handed.
Same with pot smoking burnouts who bitch because the only job they can get is fast food, yet they disregard the fact they cant get a better one because they couldn't pass a piss test.
These people make easy targets for those that oppose the protests and the message they send.
I'm among the "99%" as a young guy who was basically strong armed into college by family, teachers, and other adults I "Looked up to" when I was young. What pisses me off the most is that those same people who basically shoved me into the debt mill only have one answer when I tell them my woes, "thats life" or "life isn't fair"
I've been watching a lot of this as well and what I cant believe is how much NO ONE is really talking about this. There are major protests going on in almost all major cities in this country, and all I hear people talk about at work or on the street is the same old bull shit about TV or celebrities.
Personally I dont think this "wait em out" hippy approach will work. Sitting in a drum circle isn't going to get shit changed.
Its gonna take a stand in the face of certain failure to get results, and in America most are to afraid still. Even the "99%" still have a good amount to lose. Once that last little bit is taken from them though, thats when I think shit will hit the fan.
