(55,981 posts)If we can learn from history, when the gap between the wealth of the ruling class grows beyond a certain level, when most of the masses live in poverty, the masses object and things can get messy. Occupy is not the movement but might be a spark. The horrendous brutality that is used is terrorism. It's intended, not to move people out of a park, it's intended just like all terrorism, to frighten the masses into subjugation.
Some of the masses choose the cool-aide and pray that the 1% will be nice to them, while others are willing to fight for freedom and liberty.
Those in the masses that hate Occupy are like the Tory Loyalists before our first American Revolution, they didnt like the dirty hippies throwing their Master's tea into the bay.
"If all OWS wants to do is 'occupy' parcels of land, I don't see how they will ever be effective." Plezz. Your insinuation that all Occupy wants is to occupy parcels of land is absurd. They as most of us, want freedom and liberty. Although the Tories want the comfort of Big Brother authoritarianism.
And if you watch the brutality and say nothing, you enable it.
