Do you think Occupy Wall Street movement is a success or failure?
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
they were "new york poor".
remember that sohh thread of the dude who was getting jacked by well dressed thugs wearing jordans and thought he was in the middle of a video or prank...
white ppls' breaking point is still way above black ppls'.
------
it appears that it's the hipsters displacing black ppl in new york but it's really the elite doing it and using politicians to clean house.

ows was a movement by poor white ppl who thought they'd had enough. same feeling black ppl have been feeling for a while. instead of poor ppl uniting they are easily and quickly played against each other. the elite/establishment keeps poor ppl divided by race and party using the media.
and also keeps them stupid by influencing education and what we learn in school. to them we should be talking about homosexuality than put the wall street criminals in jail. the wall street criminals just pay fines using our money and walk free. and they are the biggest problem in america and the world.
they trolled us into bailing them and european banks out.
Can you blame them? In this world you are on your own. Ows never acomplished its goal of bringing in awareness, because I don't think they realized that was the end game.

obvious failure. Money talks in this country
to bring awareness the media or some form of communication has to be used. instead the media ridiculed them.
music can't be used because the zionists run the entertainment industry. so they'd rather promote miley and gangsta rap and gas pedal instead of conscious music.
MSNBC was almost openly cheerleading them for a while especially when it first started
i don't believe it when msnbc has that wall street jewish plant Cramer lyin to the ppl everytime he's on.
it's just like the tea party started out fine then they figured how to break them down..
you tell a random person about increased wealth gaps, now ... they are like, "yeah the 1% blah blah dude."
Pre movement , lol people looked at u like
So in that way it was a success. Was never realistic that it wouldn't have been infiltrated. - A LEADER would have simply made it easier to infiltrate.

People calling ows a failure haven't been paying close attention to the shifting tide in our nation's economic discourse. Elizabeth Warren won because of OWS. Larry Summers' fleeting nomination for Fed chairman was thwarted because of the same spirit behind OWS. There is a growing tide of populism in our country on behalf of the poor and middle class, a sentiment that would not be at the level it presently is without the awareness resulting from the OWS protests.
What we saw was just the beginning and it is far too soon to call it a failure.

You mean cnbc. Totally different entities.
Complete utter failure.
At its height it shut down the streets on the Financial District in New York. Had strong rally's in dozens of cities across the nation.
It really looked like the birth of a revolution.
But it had no leadership, coupled that with the fact way too much energy was wasted.
They were out there every day. The average person cannot do that every day, so it just turned into the jobless hipsters who were out there, therefore the movement dissipated quickly.
Excuse my language but IMO it was a major movement that was fukked up royally.

No leader+no clear and concise agenda to carry out+hipsters=failure
The concerns and complaints by OWS are nothing new to black people in this country. Black people have been speaking out on the injustices of the government for years but everyone turned
a blind eye to the situation because the problems weren't as systemic in their own communities then. Now that this country has turned on those poor masses they welcomed here under the
banner of "give me your poor, tired, and hungry" they want to start a movement and ask for everyone to unite. It was disingenuous from it's inception and it's no surprise that it didn't last.

what's that say about blacks' ability to create movements though?ows was a movement by poor white ppl who thought they'd had enough. same feeling black ppl have been feeling for a while. instead of poor ppl uniting they are easily and quickly played against each other. the elite/establishment keeps poor ppl divided by race and party using the media.

I will say the movement helped raise awareness for the time being. Can't deny that press.
Their lack of actual aims hurt them.
The sheer media campaign against them though...

Utterly stupid and small-minded post. You're no different than right wingers chastising Noam Chomsky for the "hypocrisy" of being a far left radical while living in the wealthy neighborhood of Lexington, Massachusetts, as if one must be poor to sympathize and actively work to improve the condition of those living in poverty. So what if many of the people participating came from upper middle class backgrounds? They should be commended for taking a stand on befall of the voiceless. Many of the most successful pioneers of the 60s era came from similar upper middle class backgrounds, too.
