(2,770 posts)I do not pretend to speak for the 99% - which Occupy invariably does. I am part of the 99%, and I can assure you they don't speak for me.
I feel neither threatened nor educated by OWS. To depict anyone who finds it irrelevant as frightened or ill-informed is a classic RW tactic - just as those who don't buy into Intelligent Design or the idea that "gays can be cured" is often profferred as demonstrative of people who feel 'threatened' by the Biblical account of things.
I don't have access to Fox News - so it would seem obvious that how it portrays OWS has no impact on my thoughts.
But you are right in one respect: I am lost as to what this movement is all about, or where it is going. And I came to that conclusion by reading OWS's own statements - which are often nebulous, as well as contradictory. Which leads directly into my opinion that what this movement is all about is irrelevant.
