Quote:Tell that to the people in Wall Street, LA and SF that they're "fringe groups" and that they're not the 99% despite losing home, being crushed with debt and angry at Too-Big-To-Fail.Well, I really wonder if this is actually a middle-class uprising, since it would have a true economic and social impact if it were as such.
Debt is something that even the rich owe to someone, as a clever businessman would never invest his own money into anything, and has to take up loans to do things, while not risking his own money outright.
But for the poorer pockets of society, I agree that debt can be a real problem. However, I don't know what the government, or the rich fucks in wall street are supposed to do about it.
The banks loan out credits to anyone who desires it(and can provide something that can amount for it, in case it does not return).
Quote:OWS is playing a dangerous game, as is the establishment. OWS hopes that eventually, the establishment will use police to do some truly monstrous things, ending in the deaths of several people. They're hoping that will galvanize others into demanding change.Monstrous things? Like what? Like you mean in the "arab spring"? The people in OWS are not even experiencing anything near what the people in Tunisia have experienced, or those in Egypt...Like it's fun sitting around, doing nothing, holding up signs and all....But in truth, it does not amount to anything.
It's only a matter of time before OWS is blown into obscurity on it's own.
Quote:And it causes me sadness to think that if OWS is to succeed, even at instituting anti-corruption and anti-lobbyist laws, then a bunch of people for OWS must die in some manner that enrages the fearful public to act.I doubt that this will result into the deaths of any protestors, unless the protestors decide to resort to acts of violence themselves, and not even then, they'll only get beaten over the head with batons and spread with tear gas, just like in athens.
For laws, as I said, the correct adress is in Washington, not in NY.
Quote:The biggest joke of it all, is that if the civic leaders of said cities were to engage in a dialogue (talk is cheap), they'd be able to whittle away and while down the OWS protestors.Dialogue for what? Who are they to negotiate anything, really?
