You seem clueless.

It's about protesting the excessive concentration of wealth.

How so? How is building a tent city with its own library, kitchen, yoga center and bongo drum circles have anything to do with protesting concentration of wealth.

Ows says they are leaderless and have no demands as well.

The purpose of ows seems more about protesting for protesting sake and of course spending lots of time and energy fighting over a spot of land to put down tents and set up a library and drum circles.

Why do you think they're called hippies, man. I mean, they're fighting the man,man.
Had you ever actually looked at more than the 3% of the pictures that matched your delusions, you might have noticed that OWS is far more than hippies. It is a broad cross section of all ages and social statuses, and I'll bet most of them have better hygiene than you do. (Certainly they have less caked foam on their lips.) Now this inconvenient fact won't dissuade you from your lunacy, but everyone else who's been parroting that talking point might want to think twice. Are you really comfortable being lumped in with the Spidey's of the world in being in such total denial of reality?

Food for thought.

These talking points have been punctured repeatedly throughout the thread, but heaven forbid you should actually read anything. I strongly suspect you're not interested in understanding in any case.

Pretty much true, some of the #Occupy have now started to #Occupy Universities and Colleges, nothing at all to do with concentration of wealth. Instead it's all self interest in getting cheaper tuition and avoiding having to actually pay back loans. The #Occupy movement is faltering if not dieing, some groups are only #Occupying during the day, they're going home at night.

Wait, there are still OWS people? I thought this ended awhile ago when they realized no one cared.

There are and always will be #Occupy protesters. They will become part of the perennial political protesters that never really go away. Once or twice a year they'll bring out their Guy Fawkes masks and now embarrassingly tight grubby old T-shirts and they will gather for Earth Day or some other occasion. Then they'll go home and bore their kids with their old protest stories about how "the man" sprayed them with pepper spray, back in the day.

That would have been the case if police weren't being filmed beating and pepper spraying people all the time.

That's certainly true, yet for some reason it is overwhelmingly the righties who attack OWS and implicitly support a corrupt status quo. Granted those on the left may not recognize Democrats are a huge part of the problem too, but they still largely support OWS' desire to end the corruption and greed embodied in "Wall Street".

Look at that! 1 Republican and 14 Democrats. Business as usual for the left.

*sigh*

It's not a republican vs democrat thing. They own both parties equally. You are obviously ignorant of that since you posted what you did.

True, yet an evern dwingling number of people still support the corrupt and hypocritical OWS crowd.

I dunno....it appears they own the DNC 14 times more than they own the GOP. Equal would be something like 7 and 8...or 14 and 14.

Those of us on the right recognize the Occupiers as another corrupt system, one demanding free stuff and an end to capitalism.

Confronted with two corrupt memes, we prefer the one that doesn't want to destroy the underpinnings of our society and our wealth. (Not to mention the one regularly bathing and NOT living in it's mommy's basement.)

The problem with OWS is they fall into the trustafarian cliche.



This picture says 1000 words.



As the working stiff pass by these protesters, they only get a few seconds maybe a a minute of exposure to them. What message do you think the working stiff gets out of it when they pass by that crowd?

How is any of this effective in conveying any message?

Confronted with a threat to pervasive corruption, we prefer the one that is destroying the underpinnings of our society and our wealth. (Not to mention that I can parrot infantile talking points with the dumbest of them.)
FTFY

I can understand and even in many cases agree with those who criticize OWS for being disorganized, lacking cohesive direction, or not doing enough to manage their violent fringe. Those are legitimate issues for criticism. You lose me completely and discredit yourself, however, when you make asinine comments like OWS wants "to destroy the underpinnings of our society and our wealth." Comments like that come from delusions or willful dishonesty. Presumably you've joined Spidey in ignoring the 97% in favor of the 3% that match your RNC propaganda points.
