re: #128 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Indeed. But you bring up the German Autumn and I do fear such a movement. More to the point, I fear people who are facing the problems that OWS was meant to address feeling that OWS is doing nothing to address them and go off to seek more “active” methods of doing so.

The thing is: Bringing up ideas for solutions for positive change is a challenge to the whole of society, not just OWS. OWS so far mostly provided focus on the issues until a mishmash of their own incompetence, the media’s obsession with spectacle above sophistication, and a vicious RWNJ smear campaign made the focus about lice and poop instead of the country being choked.
