Hahah, the best OWS video yet.
I just don’t know what to say, other than I am now more sure than ever that my previous comment that these people represent the bottom decile of the intelligence curve is dead fucking nuts right.
Enjoy, for you late Friday afternoon viewing pleasure.
Keep it Real
Hahahahah

Another article on the internal breakdown of OWS camps.

It’s ironic that this movement, which embraces socialism, is revealing in real-time, through the actions of the participants, how socialism and communalism fails in the real world.
The truth is that without the 1%, these 99% would never make it in society on their own, as they simply don’t have enough intelligence and common sense to survive.
Can’t wait for tempers to flare when the temps start dropping.
I like this line:
As the communal sleeping bag argument between Lauren Digion and Sage Roberts threatened to get out of hand, a facilitator in a red hat walked by, brow furrowed. “Remember? You’re not allowed to do any more interviews,” he said to Digion. She nodded and went back to work. But when Roberts shouted, “Don’t tell me what to do!” Digion couldn’t hold back.
“Someone has to be told what to do," she said. "Someone needs to give orders. There’s no sense of order in this fucking place.”
At first it bothered me that the cities were letting them break the law and take over public spaces. Now I’ve changed my mind. By failing to give them a common enemy, we force them to face their own bankrupt Marxist selves.
They created this hell. Let them live it for a while.

Exactly man, its fascinating, it reminds of the story of the blogger who saw a waiter with a Obama t-shirt and they told him he was giving his tip to the homeless guy outside.
"Imposing structure and order seems to fly against everything the protests are about. The entitlement mentality is suddenly at odds with the concept of personal property - occupiers’ possessions are being collected for “the greater good,” and that isn’t sitting well with those who are losing their property."
"Another argument broke out next to the pile of appropriated belongings, growing taller by the minute. A man named Sage Roberts desperately rifled through the pile, looking for a sleeping bag. **“They’ve taken my stuff,” he muttered. Lauren Digion, the sanitation group leader, broke in: “This isn’t your stuff. You got all this stuff from comfort . It belongs to comfort.” **
Yet, even through this, these people are still too far down the road of subversion, that they will never chang their warped view of the world.
I can imagine these are the exact kind of situations that arose in the first year when the pilgrims landed and tried to live in a purely communal/socialist system (they nearly starved the first year because of it, until changes were made):
Bradford:
“The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense.”
After the pilgrims failed with socialism they went to a more capitalist system, where each family was given what they needed for the year and was obligated to raise and trade their own crops:
“This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content.”
SOmehow, I doubt that these OWS are as smart and wise as the Pilgrims.
I like your pilgrims’ analogy.
After reading that article, I wonder whether some of the participants might actually learn something from this experience…
…Nah. 
Yet another story about the collapse of OWS.
This story is from Charlotte:
All occupiers are equal, but some are more equal than others…
No cohesive ideology, no passion, no discipline, organization, strategy, no weapons, no defined enemy or common goal/end result, no willingness to sacrifiece for the cause or willingness to take up arms to further the cause makes the OWS folks a bunch of pussies.
The rubber hits the road when they take up arms…but since these OWS pussies are afraid of armed conflict, there’s not much to worry about.
The show is over.
CUTE!!!
