What do people think of them?
I think people are generally stupid. Citizens have the collective power to peacefully dismantle a bank, a corporation, a retailer, and an oil company. Instead of pissing and shitting themselves in the streets and setting trashcans on fire, if these so-called "occupiers" would collect themselves, organize, form a council and identify a shit-list of companies, they could logically select the most egregious offender in each category. Then, they could set about strategically withholding commerce from their little shit-list.
Being mad at everyone serves no purpose. Identify the most egregious offenders and shit-list them hard, collectively!
Imagine if 20 million people refused to shop at Wal-Mart, or buy a GM vehicle, or purchase fuel from BP, or bank with Chase. Imagine if they stuck by their pledge. The problem is that each time this is tried, it fails miserably, which brings us right back to my original comment that people are generally stupid (and disorganized). Ergo, they deserve what they get.
Bottom line: The occupiers are a joke. |
