you can't simultaneously say that the movement has no message while also saying that the message that the movement represents is full of extremist rhetoric.L

Do I honestly believe that all OWS protesters want the things in my initial post? No. Do some of them? Without question. It is impossible to definitively talk about what OWS really wants because OWS isn't a movement, it is an awareness campaign for literally hundreds of issues. This is the point.

Great, raise awareness, organize if you want to make a difference and stop 'occupying' streets, bridges, parks and talking about port shutdowns, revolutions, brainwashing, etc. if you have no real ability to define success or even clarify what you want changed.

If you have no message and no expectations, you can never define success and I can't relate to a 'movement' that is eternal and can't clarify what they are trying to do. What is the measure for 'corporate greed' being fixed? Etc.
