OWS was constructed very differently from the Anti-war movement. And the PTBs are determined to crush this movement because it was far more effective and did put a voice to what a majority of people were already thinking. That was a huge threat to the status quo. But unless things change, like all other movements, it will not go away.

Not impressed. It may be sustainable, but it isn't effective. Lionessa Jun 2012 #1

Yes, it is effective. It is a tiny part of a world wide movement and even one person sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #5

Your explanation is grand, but incorrect. Lionessa Jun 2012 #7

You are making the mistake of assuming a Social Justice Movement as world wide as sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #8

I said it has become ineffective, not dead. Lionessa Jun 2012 #9

I know what you said and I said you are incorrect. sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #10

Well we'll see, there's no evidence to really support your claim. Lionessa Jun 2012 #11

Circumstances will determine the need for the movement to grow or not. sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #13

I am humored by your naive hopefulness. Hats off if you turn out to be correct. Lionessa Jun 2012 #14

...and why are you on this forum? U4ikLefty Jun 2012 #16

Opining, just like everyone else. You? Lionessa Jun 2012 #19

Much like Trump opines about Obama's birthplace. U4ikLefty Jun 2012 #20

I guess everyone has their opinions, but neither Trump nor Obama are being discussed here. Lionessa Jun 2012 #21

I guess everyone likes to smear a movement with no real experience U4ikLefty Jun 2012 #23
