(62,325 posts)arguing about it than it would have taken you to help someone stay in their home today.
I gave you information on a small example of one of the current activities OWS is now involved in, helping people stay in their homes, eg. You did not like my saying that you may not care about people, yet you say that a movement that is helping people fight illegal foreclosure, feeding the poor etc, is irrelevant to you.
No matter what it is to YOU, it is not irrelevant to those people who are being helped and could not get that help anywhere else. I'm surprised that you could not at least have acknowledged that much. Too difficult for you for some reason.
But, as you stated so clearly, it IS irrelevant to you. I thought so and wish you had not wasted so much time arguing over it. You are not in favor of helping people. I guess you think people should 'pull themselves up by their bootstraps' or whatever, again fine, but I despise that kind of thinking, sorry, I am a Democrat for a reason.
And that is what I mean about 'having it both ways'.
You can continue to claim the movement not growing, and ignore the sheer vastness of a movement, that, as far as a I know, nothing like it has ever existed on this global scale before, but that won't make it so. You're simply wrong. Your OPINIONS are irrelevant.
The only reason anyone would wish for a movement to fail would be because they really do not like the whole idea. And that's fine. A lot of people did not like the idea of the Civil Rights Movement either.
As I said before, a Democrat who wants to see a Social Justice Movement fail is very odd to me. I don't know any in RL, all of the Dems I know in RL are fully supportive of OWS, it just comes naturally to them. A Republican? It is par for the course for most of them, , it's in their DNA to hate Social Justice Movements.
I think you are fooling yourself, you do hate OWS, it's obvious in every comment you make. Lol, no one cares, really. They expected to be hated, by all the 'right' people and no one so far has been disappointed.
