Dunno why I was surprised to see such a massive concerted effort to shut this thing down recently. There was the 18 cities conspiring together to "protect the protestors" by tearing up and throwing away their ****. But the thing that really surprised me was the echo-chamber on the left and the right attacking with all the means at their disposal. The memes launched in the face of OWS was truly awe-inspiring and disgusting. I suppose it could be said that all sides smelled the end was near after the coordinated attack that took place, but the sinister side of me suspects it to be evidence that blue and red, left and right, the political machine operates at the behest of a very privileged few.
There has been everything in the meme department from #occupybandname to spouters from both slants talking about how this movement could have been different/better.
And what happened? WE DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE! We're not going to go anywhere. We're not going to stop connecting. We are building a grand and new dream for this nation, and yes, we do presume to speak for you. It's simple though, if you disagree with something, just come down to your local GA and add your voice to the cacophony that's currently sounding the end of subjugation. We appreciate your opinion.
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." - FDR
He said that because fear drives people to do things they don't think about. It drives people to hate and rage at the things they don't understand. What America is beginning to understand is that we don't have a way out. There is no modern-day emperor coming to lead us from the ordeal of being. We must find a better way to be because the old way is dying, and threatening to take us with it.
You can't just lump us all together as "hippies" or "druggies" or "whatever-ies" and cast us out of your group. We are you. Just like you. And we need your help!
