24. I agree that's how they want it, all of us, fighting amongst ourselves. But the reason they are

WORRIED is that the young are not so invested in that. The Left and Right and everything in between is joining forces AGAINST THEM. THAT is why they are worried.

OWS was the warning sign that people will no longer remain blind to what is really going on. People of all political affiliations were able to join forces on issues that affect ALL OF US.

See how desperate they are to try to discredit anyone who speaks out about the corruption that is destroying democratic principles all over the world. See how they try to label people, for the Right, it is 'Liberals are EVIL', and for the Left it is 'Libertarians are EVIL'. But the younger generation are ignoring their formerly successful divisive tactics. THEY are immune to the 'labels'. Which is why they cracked down so hard on that peaceful movement.

It won't work, because young people are not invested in the OLD WAYS, and so far they have not come with a way to use partisanship to control the dissatisfaction with the 'way things are' other than the use of violence against them, which only unites people, now across the globe.

The old ways are no longer working. You can see how desperate they are when they resort to the old 'commie' talking points, which has zero impact on today's generation.

They ARE afraid, and they should be. They are dinosaurs in a world that views their 'policies' as harmful to children and all living things and a world that is rejecting their divisive tactics, once effective but not any more.
