Multi-millionaires aren’t going to have a change of heart and give up their behaviors because a few thousand people chose to hold hands and sing kumbaya for a couple of months. The radical change people want for isn’t something you get by asking, it’s something you get by busting a nigga upside his head until he sees things your way.
I know people will point to the civil rights movement, which was a non-violent affair, but that movement had a few things that OWS doesn’t.
1. It was well organized
2. It had a charismatic leader who articulated demands.
3. They hit companies where it hurt by boycotting and affecting their bottom line.Occupy Wall Street had none of that, so the next best option was busting a nigga in the head. America responds to violence.
And they didn’t do that.
