What happened to the Occupy Movement?

We were supposed to be on the verge of a new epoch. A zealous grass roots operation hell bent upon massive wealth redistribution or death. I thought the warmer weather would have only inflamed the passions of the rebel inclined collective unconscious.


Unfortunately, it seems that the sheeple have been distracted by baseball season and barbecues. It's almost as if they never really believed in anything. The Occupy Movement was just full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Now what do I do? It looks like my dreams of soapbox demagoguery ending in a march into the NYSE and "pulling a Bane" have been lost forever, like tears in the rain.


It's time for me to go underground. I shall reradicalize the movement at a subterranean grass roots level. You guys shall be the first to see my first newsletter, which I will simply call "The Attack."

Drought has created a weed shortage and killed Occupy.

Also, to the FBI agents reading this: I would not like to subscribe to his newsletter.

Is your smarmy sarcasm somehow implying that Starbucks baristas somehow provide less value to society than banking parasites whose incompetence cost taxpayer's trillions in subsidized welfare payments? Give me ten million baby factory welfare queens over a couple dozen "Masters of the Universe" any day when it comes to positive expectations for society.

Re: What happended to the Occupy Movement?

They didn't come out of nowhere. They just bubbled out from the swell which remains. You can't sit out in front of buildings forever.

They got the country talking about wealth and income distribution when it wasn't before. The media paid attention. Politician's paid attention. I know damn well rich people paid attention. They got their message into the national media, which is like a default political arena. The movement was a success and will evolve into another form.

lol yeah. You can walk up to an occupier and spit in their face. They will wipe it off, ask you why you did that, and try to tell you a Buddhist parable relative to the situation.

They are not the material from which are made death squads.

Yeah, they're the biggest bunch of over-educated, pacifist, do-nothings since the Jacobins.

Re: What happended to the Occupy Movement?

Yeah it died out after the protests for NATO. I think they should take a page from the tea party types and start focusing on local stuff and primaries in heavily gerrymandered districts.
