Renewed Occupy movement?

Honestly it seems that they just try to shoehorn as many social issues into their movement in the hopes that some group somewhere will agree with them. It is really ridiculous. I went down to Occupy Philadelphia the whole thing seemed very disunited. Here you would have the, "down with the capitalist crones" group, then the environmentalists, then the, "women are oppressed" group.

I did not find a single goal or strategy to face these so called problems they list on the site. Once again everything boiled down to "The corporations maaan, the rich are opresssing us maaan." I also love how every problem has "they" in front of it. Who is "they"? All corporations? All rich people? The illuminati?

Some of the problems on that list do exist(not all of them, believe it or not the army has yet to take away our freedom of press), but they have offered no strategies to tackle any of these issues, and istead make vague protests about corruption and how "they" are keeping us down.

Duh.

They are behind everything, we are mere pieces in their grand chess game.

The new Occupy Picture:

The Occupy movement and the left overs of it did nothing to change our society. Instead of going to Wal Street, the real place where they needed to go was the Federal Reserve.

The problem is not capitalism, is corporatism. They have reasons to be mad, but they have the wrong target.

Even if we actually had capitalism in the West there'd still be clear problems, especially without regulation if that's what you're proposing.

Yes, let´s just ignore the fact that economy got bad when certain people decided to get more regulation (like with the New Deal, which didn´worked in reality).

I don't understand. The economy "got bad when certain people decided to get more regulation"? So there's a correlation between increasing regulation and failing economies? How do you explain the Great Depression and the 2008 Financial Crisis?

Magic

This post is so full of fail. You know the New Deal didnt plunge us into the Great Depression right? It was what helped us get out of the Great Depression.

... Well, thats totally not the oldest saying in the book.

The occupy movement is the most disunited thing I've ever seen. Its like a kaleidoscope of ideologies.

Still not sure whether to take you seriously...

I agree. They're worse than Kony 2012

That's what a lot of people do....I don't know about the majority...but that's exactly what most adults I know do.

Regulation... like he just said. It isn't a trick question, and there is no secret answer.

Roosevelt didn't get us out of the depression, Hitler did.

Prove it wrong. Because I don't think you can.

Fourteen year old implies he thinks he's smarter than most adults. You're hilarious, bro.

1.) I'm 15
2.) Your 16, stop acting as if age has any effect on this conversation at all
3.) I never implied as such. In fact, I do the same thing. These forums are a manifestation of that. We are all sitting around and complaining about it, and because of some reason or another none of us are doing anything about what we complain about. And even if I didn't sit around and complain, how would that make me smarter than most adults? It would make me look like a retard. Imagine a 15 year old trying to go to a major political event. Lol.

I also don't look down on people deserving of my respect.

The way you worded made it to seem as such.

Neither do I. Well figuratively.

Sorry for that, I didn't mean it that way.

Unemployment was under 1% 13 months before America entered World War 2. When FDR took office in 1933, unemployment was at 24%.

Have you got any statistics to back that up? I highly doubt the under 1% part.
