Almost all the pointless violence being perpetrated in the name of the “Occupy” movement is being perpetrated by fucking anarchists. Fuck those guys. Generally the Occupy movement is non-violent, but these assholes have to come in with their fucked up world view, young assholes who want to accomplish little more than feeding their own egos.
I don’t give a shit if they think they have some sort of philosophical basis for the fucked up attitudes, all they are is a bunch violent narcissists.
It’s floating around (check for example the The Young Turks youtube channel). Basically Occupy Oakland got violent the other night because of some anarchists breaking windows and starting fights. It makes me quite angry as well, because it brands the occupy movements in a light that was never intended; one that isn’t wanted by the vast majority of those involved. If this is used as justification to shut the movement down by the police, I will flip shit.
It’s interesting that the anarchists are showing us the kind of society they’re advocating, without a government to keep people in line. They’re setting a bad example for their own cause . . . actually a very accurate example of where their so-called philosophy would lead.
Actually, fuck the “Occupy” movement for encouraging any and all protesters, no matter what their cause was, to join in the festivities in an attempt to portray themselves as a great force.
If the police were *able *to “shut down the movement”, they would have done so by now.
And if you flip shit, no-one will care.
For once I agree with Czarcasm: the only discernible concrete cause espoused by this “movement” is to be very careful not to espouse any concrete causes. That way, there is nothing for anyone to push back against. Cynical and silly.
