It's not as simple as you think.

I'm well aware of how complicated it is. I'm an accountant for a bank holding company with a masters in this and more than a passing interest in business history. There are a ton of specific, actionable and legistlatable things the movement could be pushing for. Unfortunately, the streets are full of people protesting what banks do who can't even explain the volcker rule.

The volcker rule was a gutted version of glass-steagall that got removed anyways by lobbyists during the "reform" of 09-10.

If you haven't been to a General Assembly, and you are speaking about what Occupy is or is not, or what their message is, or what they want, you're an idiot.

Its one big bitch session without regard or respect for the foundation this country was built on so that they CAN even bitch about how much their lives suck.

I think we need to go to Iraq/Afghanistan and round up the native population and put them all on reservations. Then come back and get the 99% club and make them into settlers giving away FREE LAND in Iraq/Afghanistan.

There is your opprotunity!

Then stop calling yourselves the 99%. If you only are speaking on behalf of the people that have been to a GA, then call yourselves the .005%.

You're the only person who said that.

What I said is this:

If you haven't been there when the process is happening, you're ignorant of what the movement is about.

There is no way to understand Occupy without participating. It is organized that way on purpose. People who say there is no message and that it is a rag tag group of hippies have obviously not participated, because that is blatantly untrue. These statements will become self-evident as time goes on, and I see no point in arguing this further.

People who aren't pissed off are asleep. People who don't understand that the original message of the Tea Party (before that movement was co-opted by the talk show pundits) was nearly identical to Occupy are blind. This movement is for all of you, whether you know it or not, and none of us honestly care if you care or not. There are enough who do. More will rise up.

They said that the revolution will not be televised. It is not being televised. Find live streams and u streams if you want to know what is really going on.

Dear the rest of you:

There is a huge action planned for tomorrow, as well as everything that is going on today. Feel free to contact me if you want to get hooked up with more information.

Have some fail in your fellow man, hippy. We are clear about the "message" (Get money out of politics) Its not fucking hard.

People have a problem with when people are raped, murdered, complain about shitty courses they have, squatting on PRIVATE property and list over other bullshit going on during this movement.

See, in reality, people will listen to your message when its presented properly and coherently. Not when you are acting like a fucking retard.

I would be very very surprised if someone did a real study on crime incidences at occupy sites before and during occupy, and didn't find that there has been less crime in these areas because of occupy. The fact that the media is portraying crimes at occupy, as if we didn't have crime in this society - in these areas - is propaganda, pure and simple.

The murder in Oakland went down like this (I was there, that's how I know): Two Oakland men were starting to fight about something completely unrelated to Occupy. A sometimes-camper at O.O. tried to break up the fight because he knew it would bring negative press. One of the men who was originally fighting shot the camper who was trying to stop the fight.

Complaining about shitty courses? Are you really trying to insinuate that our education system is fine, and that students are whining?

There's this funny thing called evidence, which leads people capable of critical thinking to identify facts.

As far as "private property" goes, we're not shy about saying straight out that we are seizing that property from the banks. They are criminals, regardless of legal technicality, and we'll not allow them to hold UNUSED SPACE which they've legally stolen away from people who SLEEP OUTSIDE.

Fuck your private property.

There are enough who disagree with you to change society with or without your participation, and whether you know it or not, this movement is for you too. But thanks for your opinion.

I just like to quote stupid things people say on the internet. Nothing to see here.
