God, are these useless wankers kicking up a fuss again on your side of the pond as well? When our 'occupiers' occupied the space outside St. Paul's cathedral in central London the press trained heat-seeking cameras at the tents pitched in the thoroughfare over night. Almost every single one of them failed to register a heat source i.e - they were left unoccupied, which was ruthlessly ironic. When this little irony was pointed out to them, most of them tried to sheepishly excuse their complete lack of backbone by citing the weather in defence: 'Well, it was really, really cold last night. So I popped home for a bath and a hot meal.' Duh, you fu***** dickheads, discomfort is what lends your protest integrity in the first place.
Thanks for the insight to what is going on there. These folks abhor work so much that they won't even endure the slightest sacrifice as they demand more from the real workers.
Was just watching a youtube video clip on The Guardian site--the Guardian is apparently trying to put together a youtube network re the Occupier groups. The young man talking gave a bunch of the typical vague talking points about a world in which everybody works together for the good of all and share everything etc., all noble Marxist concepts. And then he slipped in the line that seems to be a kernal of the developing ultimate goal: the current system is too broken to fix. It will have to be replaced. If it catches on, I think we can expect that to become the central theme.
