the tea party was started by fox news and sarah palin, while the occupy thing is actually grassroots and doesnt want to be associated with celebrities or news organizations

the tea party is angry about taxes even though taxes have been the lowest for the majority of americans in decades. the occupy movement is based off of actually bad and broken things in our society ( moneyed interests crashing the economy for their benefit, a drug war that ruins the lives of nonviolent offenders, etc)

not only that but the occupy movement is composed of people from all ages, religions, and races while the tea party is overwhelmingly white, elderly, and conservative

also the occupy movement is so much larger than the tea party its not even comparable

The Occupy movement in general is a huge waste of time and just reeks of stupidity, generally associated with career protesters who will bitch and make signs at the drop of the hat, and the politically and economically ignorant, who tend to swarm in and become glorified bums.

In a way, this is just like the Tea Party movement, but unlike the TPM, there is no legitimate issue that they are bringing up, or if it is, it's mostly radical bullshit probably thought up by someone smoking a whole lot of drugs. Plus, they are actively scaring away the average man from joining in the protests, which makes it nothing more than butthurt rhetoric with no solutions and no appeal for them.

The reason why the Wisconsin protests and the Arab Spring is much more legit and more successful is because almost everyone got involved with it, and they had great reasoning why they would do it. This on the other hand, is simply nothing more than an overgrown protest led by hippies and the stupid.

I think nothing will come of it and it's filled in by hispters, conspiracy loving old people, and just lazy people.

I can't see anything coming out of it. It's just this generations, "hurr durr let's protest something!"

I'm not fighting anyone's war. I'm sitting here, at home, telling a 20 year old dullard how stupid him and his angsty ideas are.

Of course you are. You're just too stupid to realize it.

This movement reminds me of this Episode of South Park, Watch what the hippies do, then tell me if there is any difference!

It is so fucking pointless though, they aren't going to change a damn thing.

There's one planned for tomorrow where I live. It'll be interesting to see the news later that day to see the impact that they have.

They should remember something. They don't have money because they have wasted it on luxuries, and because they have wasted it the economy can holds and the rich are richer. Not inversely.

The Occupy Wallstreet movement is the left wing version of The Tea Party.

A bunch of stupid, uneducated fucks run around in retarded costumes waving ignorant, sometimes racist signs shouting unreasonable, inconsistent demands with no clear leader or goal in mind, embarrassing everyone around them.

All they need now is their own Glenn Beck, and it looks like Micheal Moore is shaping up to fill that position.

There's a fat joke in there somewhere.

It's the ultimate proof that your argument is completely irrelevant when the only way you can anyone to agree you is by threatening them.

"The moon is made out of cheese!"
"No, it isn't."
"It's yellow like cheese, therefore cheese."
"Not everything yellow is cheese, look at pee, pee isn't cheese."
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY YOU MEASLY FUCKING PISS ANT!"

Trust me, the only thing "at least a couple people getting hurt" is going to do is further delegitimize the movement, get tons of people arrested, and get Occupy Wallstreet labeled as a terrorist organization.

Life isn't a video game where you can just punch the first thing you designate as the final boss and win the game.

Everything those people are eating, sleeping on, wearing, using are all made by corporations. But they aren't protesting the use of products, or the improvement of business but rather quite the opposite they want to see the success of genuine, local, non-corrupt businesses.

They are demanding the downfall of corrupt corporations, and the serious problems in the current system that are so easily taken advantage of. They are protesting the true leaders of America and potentially a number of other countries because these corporations are buying the politicians through bribery and blackmail (lobbyists).

The occupy movement is about fixing the problem for long-term. Not some band-aid, and not avoiding the fact that their are criminals running that country both on Wall Street and in the government.

Watch this, you might be interested.

Meh. Smelly hippies and obnoxious/fractious college students have influenced policy before. I don't see why not now. Public support dropped out from underneath the Vietnam war, and the government had no choice but to bring the boys home.

There is a legitimate issue here. The legitimate issue is that the government should not be bailing out the banks here. The bailout was socialist, and the fact that these guys are getting 11.3 million dollar severance checks from the companies because "things didn't work out" while people are struggling to find jobs is ridiculous. Reform is needed in government to remove the excess bribery.

Congress already has what is probably the best health care plan in the world. Why do we need PACs and lobbyists showering alcohol, cash, cruises, vacations, and property on them to win their votes?

Irony for sure, but SO beside the point. It's like saying that the only way to protest the corporate entities is to reclude into the forest and avoid all civilization forever. It's just defeatist and, frankly, pig-headed.

Not saying that I assume that it's your opinion, just that so many people make that argument because they're simply defeatist and despondent about Everything and it's a convenient contradiction that they can use to convince themselves that nothing is worth doing.

Just a bunch of confused commie hippies who are intent on destroying small businesses that are being disrupted around the areas they are protesting. So ignorant.

I posted this in another thread but anyways I understand the movements in places like San Francisco where Wells Fargo is HQ'd and the PSE, and places like New York where Wall ST. is, but why Oakland, CA? Why Conway, AR? Why Billings, MT? No disrespect, but what can you accomplish in Oakland? What can you accomplish in fucking Billings, MT? I understand major cities, but why is it in the most random of places like Conway, AR? It went from people standing against Capitalism, to people who just want to protest something.

Majority of the website is adolescent children who can't vote, and definitely don't have the cash for donating to the candidates/causes they want to support.

The few adults here that do, well, many of them don't vote, and well. Zero donate cash. Sure, maybe "no one" is inaccurate, but a tiny minority are the only portion that are. So really, again, this forum and it's discussions are largely irrelevant.

It is true that most people here can not vote. However most young people here do work and have jobs and probably want to see some sort of change. Which is something I have yet to see the Occupy movement do except just protest against Wall Street. I'm still not entirely sure what they do want or how they want to go and accomplish this.

Also it is always important to get young people into politics because if they're misinformed at that young adult age then who knows where their vote will be cast. So telling young people "your opinion doesn't matter because you can't vote" is although true, but it is a cruel thing to say because I believe that our youth's opinions do matter, when it is well informed.

Also if this forums discussions are irrelevant, then why are you here? No that's not an insult it is a basic question, if you find this all irrelevant and not noteworthy then why are you here then?
