If the 99% are dumb enough to get all emo over this flag flap (pun)

27. You're laboring under the assumption

that Occupiers are primarily concerned with public relations so as to convert more people to their cause. While that may be true for a small contingent, the majority of protesters has far more exciting goals. In fact, those who are out on the streets in America now are sick to death of being manipulated by PR efforts of any kind and would rather get clobbered by mainstream tongue-waggers than use image control tactics to persuade more dummies believing what they're told by TV news.

From what I've seen and heard, the leading edge of the Occupy movement worldwide is keenly aware that they are the spearhead of a global cultural revolution, an uprising like no other ever seen before on this earth. Thanks to information technology and rapid disclosure of just how badly the people are being screwed out of a life that is worth living, these protesters realize that it is only a matter of time - a few months maybe in the case of America - before massive amounts of Indignados will join them out there in the streets, in abandoned buildings and in the parks that rightfully belong to all.
