Tell me about it! Sorry, there are so many anonymi it's hard to know who's who.
So what on the blog is not credible? What have you read? Just curious. What I find I get on the blog a lot is people who demand hard evidence of the problems we are talking about and when I provide it... they never come back.
Honestly. People complain that this movement doesn't represent the real 99% but I'm having the same problem with the 99% that they have with occupy; They don't make any sense. They yell at me for being squatter then call me a hypocrite when I say I don't camp! They agree that the government isn't working in the interests of the people, that they feel really ripped off by the TransAlta scam, that we pay too much for gas in a province that produces it and then say I live in the greatest city of the greatest province of the greatest country in the world and I should shut my mouth and not complain.
I think what people are really mad at the movement for, myself included honestly, is that it hasn't been effective. Because it kind of gave some of us hope for a minute there, didn't it? That we could rethink debt-based consumer culture and begin demanding fairness and justice. Us, ourselves! Without waiting for someone else to do it for us!
So they left it up to a handful of campers in a park and are disappointed with the results?
