I've said from a start that a large majority of the people involved in this are either students or former students that have read way too much Marx and way to much other weird books about failed political systems combined with reading too much Roddenberry, combined with blindingly insane people who carry around crumpled up pamphlets from radical conspiracy theory nuts to be healthy.
They are spouting jingo's that they don't understand, making demands that make no sense in the real world, and latching onto catch phrases that sound cool over a cup of coffee at Starbucks to be anything but unhealthy stupid.
Are there legitimate beefs, more in the States then this country but there are legitimate beefs, but they involve the homeless and desparate and sick, the people that these occupyers tried to screw out of low cost housing through their rants, or people who clearly need a break, something that some of these idiots tried to ignore because they're focused on some vague bigger picture strategy of bringing down a system that they don't have a clue about, or castigate business practices that they don't understand.
If they want to truly occupy, go down to the States and support your occupy brothers and sisters instead of making the movement look like a big joke.
