Quote Our movement is living through a painful rebirth… “There has been a unfortunate consolidation of power in #OWS,” writes one founding Zuccotti. “This translates into ideological dominance and recurring lines of thought. We are facing a nauseating poverty of ideas.” Burned out, out of money, out of ideas… seduced by salaries, comfy offices, book deals, old lefty cash and minor celebrity status, some of the most prominent early heroes of our leaderless uprising are losing the edge that catalyzed last year’s one thousand encampments. Bit by bit, Occupy’s first generation is succumbing to an insidious institutionalization and ossification that could be fatal to our young spiritual insurrection unless we leap over it right now. Putting our movement back on track will take nothing short of a revolution within Occupy. Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: cbeast on June 08, 2012, 07:11:45 PM you mean to say that bitcoin is the dark side of the force? :o Indeed. Bitcoin will be the force that chokes the monetary sytem, but not before it is used to further subjugate the poor. It will be decades (or 3 more movies) before Bitcoin fulfills its true Destiny to bring balance to the economy.Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: herzmeister on June 08, 2012, 07:30:04 PM How can it "further subjugate the poor" to then "bring balance to the economy"? ???
Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: cbeast on June 08, 2012, 10:33:35 PM How can it "further subjugate the poor" to then "bring balance to the economy"? ??? If Bitcoin becomes controlled by the evil Banksters, then for awhile the rebel forces will be on the defensive until they convince Bitcoin users to turn the power of Bitcoin against the evil empire. Bitcoin is itself neither good nor evil, but the design does favor the good side if the good side is vigilant.Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: Red Emerald on June 08, 2012, 10:37:47 PM How can it "further subjugate the poor" to then "bring balance to the economy"? ???

Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: cbeast on June 09, 2012, 02:20:02 PM It might only subjugate the poor because it cant be taxed and therefore cant fund social welfare programs. I was thinking more along the lines that it can't be printed by a government to fund social welfare programs. I do think Bitcoin was created with egalitarian intentions, but those won't be fully realized until the current social-monetary power structure finally erodes into more evenly balanced economic system. Er.. I mean, the Evil Empire will be overthrown.Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: ryu-fk on June 09, 2012, 06:38:16 PM It was a stupid cause to begin with, we shouldn't blame "banksters". You should be more worried about the government taking away your rights. The guys who occupied wallstreet are just a bunch of socialist hippies.

No. There were socialist hippies in the mix, but there are all kinds there. Fiscal conservatives, market anarchists, libertarians, the homeless and the confused. They had no clear direction, no leader and therefore a muted agenda.

Where have you been? lolSure. The government is the power broker; selling their power to initiate force. It absolutely must be eliminated. The Banks are just one of their best customers. OWS just wants the force to be applied differently, hence direct their anger at the banks. Title: Re: The death of Occupy Post by: kibblesnbits on June 16, 2012, 12:55:36 AM I've been to both Zuccotti Park and Tea Party rallies, not as a protestor but a casual observer. Both sets of participants were equally cordial and willing to speak their minds.
"Why are you here, what do you want" Tea Party: "Less government, lower taxes, less regulations" Occupy: "more taxes (for the rich)" "reparations for African-Americans" "stop fracking" "animal rights" "jail all of the bankers" (didn't really get this one) "legalize marijuana" "force FDA to regulate genetically modified food" My take-away was that the Tea Party spoke with a unified voice. The Occupy folks were all over the place, typically blogging with $500+ iPads, $1,000+ MacBooks and playing in drum circles. |
