A republic is the ideal form of government.
If everyone was really educated or had a backbone we wouldn't be dealing with this tyranny of the ruling class, fuck.
Laugh at occupy all you want, but hear this warning, when they take your internet away, or other things you want, and you go to protest that will be your fate. Or we can push to imprison the police(state thugs) who mace your fellow citizens for gathering, which is our right.
Support occupy, otherwise the police state will grow to outrageous levels (which it already is in some peoples minds.) The European riots will come here, but we have guns and explosives.
Laugh, mock, whatever. But if you support the oppression of your equals that will be you.

The people who laugh/mock/whatever will start to get their own rude awakening over the next few years. For those of us who are already educated to the state of things globally and here at home in the US, most have already begun protecting themselves for the coming crisis.
An interesting chart -

An interesting fact - in 2009 the Credit Default Swap market (analogous to an individual purchasing insurance on his neighbors home) was valued at $31.5T, current US GDP is $14.5T (which is about to be passed by US Debt, frightening) and current global GDP is $63T.
If you don't find anything completely terrifying in the fact that the market for the most dangerous financial instrument conceived is worth half of global GDP, and that protesting against a current system that promotes that kind of harmful risk taking - aka the growing Occupy protests - is dumb then you've got a world of pain coming your way.
