OCCUPY WALLSTREET!

[Jinzo]

I am a lurker. First time RnF post for me! be gentle!

The past 9 pages of this thread make my eyes bleed.

OWS isn't just in wall-street it is in in 951 cities in 82 countries. This protest is MASSIVE.

The global economy is failing. Its that easy. NOW WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO DO?!?!?!?!?

The greed of the past 2 generations (WORLD WIDE) has fucked most people because in about 10 or so years we will hit a global depression if we do not fix shit.That is not really a disputed fact among leading economists.

So now its not some much overthrow the government more so OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO. much like when your parents find an ounce of weed in your room.

The protest is a little lacking in terms of message but i think it has done a good job on drawing attention to the issue.

What is the issue? The general 'shit is fucked up' sentiment? I think there are a lot of lists of issues out there from various OWS groups but they are all different and constantly changing?

Clearly, I'm not a protester but how do you know when you have influenced change and when do you pack up your things and go home? Just when 'shit is no longer fucked up'?

Of course the 'movement' is going to draw a large interest when the 'what are we protesting' is really every single participants individual gripes and complaints coupled with well meaning ideas. Obviously however, this isn't reasonable or scalable. Couple this with pages and pages of rants and complains and people using terminology like 'overthrow' 'restart' etc. and I have to ask... what is the end game here? What are you actually hoping to achieve?

Is it too much to expect a movement that has received considerable national media attention and are occupying the nations parks, streets and bridges to solidify on what they are trying to actually accomplish more than just 'fix shit'?

What they're protesting is clear, and their end-game is well defined. It's very reasonable. It's very scalable. It just doesn't match your opinion on the subject, so you try to discredit the entire purpose. Keep believing everything you read in the free press; you're obviously just another tool.

The protests are against social and economic inequality, high unemployment, greed, as well as corruption, and the undue influence of corporations—particularly that of the financial services sector—on government.

No? Wonderful.

Would you like to see them fixed?

Yes? Us, too.

Welcome to the 99%.

It would seem that way.

So what is the fix? What are you looking to achieve?
