I didn't interpret those messages from these protests. I took it as people demanding better care and control over the public money. Like a physical protest with the documentary
Inside Job in mind. Less lobbying influence and more responsibility/human interests involved in running a country.
But really, what's the big deal? Complaining about their protest either on a forum or at the bar with your friends is just a form of holding your own protest to theirs in a similar manner. The best possible scenerio for this thing is the people responsible for this recent economic disaster get some sort of punishment, and potential reforms to the current system. The worst case (barring a violent riot) is that a bunch of people give up and go home.
Why is challenging the status quo bad? Because it's happening in a first world country, or because you don't agree with the method?
