Occupy

[Cain]

You just knew Moore was going to stick his oar in.  Ask yourself this...when was the last time Moore was involved in a successful political campaign or protest group?

You really wanna follow his advice?

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

He is a complete douchebag, and you're right Cain, his involvement will hurt the OWS movement more than anything.

Where are all the bleeding heart celebrities who come out of the woodwork for other stuff, do they not realize that the 99% is 99% of their fans?

Same with politicians, where are their brains on this?  Why has not one of them gotten the ah-hahs yet?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Get that fat fuck out of my fucking people's movement.

I hate that asshole.

Is this for real?

Possibly not

Wow, I'm sorry, but that reporter is a complete fucking cockbag. Can you imagine some douche penny-ante weekly paper "journalist" grilling you for details and medical records for your miscarriage? What a complete and utter shitfucking rectumshower.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Actually, I'm not sorry at all. I would like to kick that shitlicker in the face with dirty boots.

Buddy Roemer has been a big supporter of Occupy so far.  Moreso than some other politicians who have said "I understand what these people are saying" and not much more.  he's shown up at Occupy DC and has been talking about the movement quite a lot.  he's running for president as a Republican and was previously governor of Louisiana, he doesn't look like he has much of a chance for the presidential bid though.

I think I fell asleep halfway through Michael Moore's snorefest social-democratic manifesto of fail.

This is what the Occupy message should be

Your avatar makes me laugh, mostly because it isn't funny.

I'm gonna have to argue that.

I was wracking my brains to think of recent protests in the united states that were successful by some standard, and I couldn't think of any. I'm wondering what the success rate is for nonviolent protests, and if anybody has done a proper analysis of what tactics were used &c.

Gut feeling is that the Situationist techniques stopped working as intended sometime prior to 1970 and nobody took notice.

[Cain]

In the US, there aren't many, and for that I directly blame Literary Theory majors and the likes of Michael Moore and their ultimately spineless social democratic wonk-fests.

However, if you look around the rest of the planet, you can find a few examples.  I understand some of the Tahrir Square organisers have held talks with the former Zucotti Park occupiers, though the overall level of influence remains to be seen (and, indeed, the Egyptian revolution still remains in doubt and fragile).

[Triple Zero]

On the news yesterday I saw some Egyptian man "on the street" complain about how all this revolution was hurting their tourism income because significantly less people came there (it's a popular sunny Christmas destination), "but don't you want freedom?", "yes yes we want freedom, but not all at once, take it easy" ... he was sort of arguing for a slower democratic process instead of all this revolution and violence.

this guy however appeared to be your typical tourist salesman, the type I've seen in Turkey where you get street upon street of similar small shops selling fake-brand clothes and trinkets where tourists are supposed to bleed money. I suspect he must have been doing reasonably well under the old regime and "well yeah I suppose what they're doing is bad and it should stop but not if it's hurting my business".

That's very similar to the "UnOccupy" people in Portland that don't want to be inconvenienced in the slightest by the protests.

Only it's, "Well yeah, I suppose Wall Street is bad and it should stop but not if I it makes me late to work."

That said, the cream of Occupy Seattle's crop and the organizers of this townhall have done some significant damage:

Why wouldn't people acting like children just get thrown the fuck out? I don't understand. Oh, and speaking of overgrown children:
