You gotta wonder if there ever going to be point where all of this blows up.

I don't know, I think they shoot themselves in the foot by not not having a leadership and some form of define platform.


So you're saying they're suffering from a lack of...community organization?

It pains me to say it but,  I was looking at the Occupy London's web presence at it looks like their combined forum is no bigger than that Languish !

Welcome to our newest member, Bill-K

In some ways it's smaller than languish, we probably have more active members than a mass movement.  :hmm:

Maybe languish should go and occupy the occupy forum  :hmm: ?

You're not interested in the possible breadmaking workshop?

Yeah, right. They have some good points, or I should say some of them do, just like any political movement. But they so far haven't had the organization to turn it into something more tangible, like the Tea Party has done.

We could liven it up. Heck, we haven't done an invasion in a long time.

I'm not sure they would notice. Their forum is pathetic rather than irritating............sigh  :(

Well maybe Brits just are not as outraged by the evils of Wall Street and government bailouts of the rich being so far away from it.

Try the American forum:

if anything it might be more inactive than the British one.

We've our own of all of that. 

I don't think they're massively based online because they're occupying a physical space.  The arguments are happening there.  I get Occupy London SX's tweets and they're mostly retweets of praise, or messages of who's coming to lecture at the tent university etc.

I've got some friends up there at the moment, I'm popping up there at the weekend and shall relay a 'progress report'.

The commie one was entertaining, though I didn't actively participate.

I see great things ahead for the Occupy movement.
PDH!
