The Collapse Of Occupy Wall Street
So what happened to the movement spreading across the globe like a plague known as Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Francisco, Australia, England, etc…?
Let’s take a simple look at the movement and the mistakes that has taken it from the spotlight or a rising star…to just a prop or nothing more than an extra on the big stage.
The idea of Occupy Wall Street was a great idea, but the biggest question became…what is the idea? While walking through a rally, it didn’t take long to realize that this organization had no organization. It’s like the whole world wanted to wrap there arms around it. They wanted nothing more than to believe in the cause, but the cause was never clear and thus the biggest downfall. Every sign had a different message and everyone you talked to had a different purpose, goal or out come they were hoping for. You can’t have a person shouting “down with corporate greed” next to someone holding a sign that says “save the rain forest”. It’s just too damn confusing.
I knew something was wrong when republicans running for office were allowed to call the occupiers basically thorns on society while referring to their bad hygiene without any backlash at all. I for one was pissed at first. The Republican Party saw through the smoke and mirrors from day one that this was an un coordinated effort and a meaningless speed bump in the road.
Here is the sad part. All the work, all that momentum and that passion is now fading to the wayside. 55% of America now looks at the Occupy Movement as annoying and yet at one time over 70% believed in it.
So here is the deal, yes..we need a new party. We need a party that honestly believes in the constitution and wants to bring our country back to the original mind set that it was founded on. Not a group of people like the current republican or democratic parties that insist on using it as a catch phrase just to get elected into office. We need a party that honestly and whole hardly agrees and is unified toward one common goal. If the goal is met, everything else will fall in to place simply because the base of our constitution would regulate or deregulates current laws that either should or shouldn’t be in place. In other words, things are constitutional or un constitutional. There is no gray area to this matter (or as they refer to it in congress, earmarks).
So where does the Occupy Wall street organization go from here? Good question. Now that they are viewed by millions as nothing more than the Tea Party of the left?
Let me put into perspective of the worlds view with 2 simple equations.
Tea Party = old yuppie hippies
Occupy Party = young dirty hippies
Don’t blame me, I didn’t invent the worlds views, the parties created them themselves and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) to die hard republican and democratic party followers, you are nothing more than party crashers dividing our country even farther.
What it all comes down to is two options, start a new movement that makes since and has a clear message the whole world can relate to or re invent your current movement into something the poor and middle class will grasp onto, not just people who were either at Woodstock or those who wish they could have been there.
