Occupy

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

How about "follow a banker/CEO/hedge fund manager home"?

Say, 200 people walk to the guy's house, and just stand on the sidewalk staring at the place?

That could work. And it would beat sleeping in a tent in AZ in the summer.

Hell yeah, but they have done this:

http://occupyourhomes.org/blog/2012/mar/15/m14-mn-march-on-us-bank/

I'd definitely like to see more of those sorts of protests.

I also think the camping can be worthwhile if it's done to make foreclosing on people's homes a massive hassle for the banks or results in a shutdown of a bank branch.

The media hasn't reported on the Occupy Your Homes project but as far as I can tell it is alive and kicking.

I'd recommend getting involved with your local Occupy and making suggestions for events you'd like to see happen. From the looks of Occupy Tuscon's events page, they could use your input. Even if you don't get consensus and whatnot as an Occupy supported event, there's usually a number of people that will join you if you put the word out.

Occupy Tucson is as dead as yesterday's fish sammich.  It's basically become a hippie commune that celebrates poor personal hygiene and doing "bath salts".

Christ. We have that element, but also many normal people to balance things out.

You're sure a little rage and SCIENCE! couldn't rouse them to action?

Not until summer.  The vets are mostly university students now, and while they WANT to get involved, they really can't.  Also, they won't be going back to Occupy, so we'll have to figure something else out.

My takeway is that the 24/7 occupation was a huge mistake.  Business hours would have done just fine.

Having to retake the space every day would have been more difficult than just trying to hold it. I dunno what's next, but I hope it involves more of the awesome people and less of the self-important professional protesters putting their own causes ahead of the group's.

Retaking it every day would have been more recognizable as an implied threat.

Annnnnnnnnnnd then the revolution was cancelled on account of sloth.

It was on account of "whiny bitches" up here...

My point was:

1.  Occupying each day:  Pain in the ass, but disruptive as hell...AND menacing without being illegal, versus

2.  Having the movement eventually morph into a filthy Hooverville full of drones.

This is a very good point.

We need more professional cultural provocateurs

That explains why he hasn't returned, anyway.
