So, what are your plans since the glorious revolution is not coming?

36. Probably a bad choice of words, but used more for shock value

but it does seem to go with the reverent tones and narrative that is often seen here. I frequently see talk of violence, cheering for societal collapse and idealized talk of ending capitalism here. I see that as unrealistic and off target -- and I am entitled to voice that opinion, even here.

I am neither young or here to bash Occupy. I have said repeatedly in this thread and other places here that I think change is necessary, people are getting screwed and the current system is unsustainable. But, even a whiff of criticism of Occupy's strategy brings personal attacks, accusations and a huge over-reaction. It appears to be all-out peer pressure to get people from stop posting even anything remotely critical of Occupy. Attack the poster, but refuse to respond with anything of substance.

I commute daily to Chicago. The people who I talk to daily didn't have a clue about what was going on this week. All they saw was their commute screwed up and a bunch of out-of-towners messing up their daily activities. Yesterday's march seemed to wander aimlessly for hours on end. What did that accomplish?

I am serious about what's next. But, I guess I won't find any answers here.
