So you see less traditional grass roots political organizing and more ... movement I guess would be the most appropriate word.
I think that's hard to sustain without those traditional steps and structures that I mentioned, but on the other hand, this might be something new, where social media allows you to skip all that and lets ideas just sort of flow out like a wave.
I think that's exactly it.. a social media enhanced movement. because of social media it doesn't have to be 'traditional' with a 'grass-roots' organization.. it can't be organized anyway since everyone is there for different reasons, every 'occupy' has it's own agenda..
It's going to be very hard to sustain, but as long as FoxNews unfairly and inaccurately vilifies them, as long as newt disparages them, as long as the police pepper-spray the innocent.. it will only grow... and in the end, even if it OWS were to 'die' today, there would be another tomorrow.. like I said, look at the Walker-recall, John Kasich's loss.. the outrage for what these Govs did started their own massive protests.. this is the new world, massive protests in different states, different cities with different agendas... "Occupy" has only 'organized' those singular protests and made them more impressive.. so in a way, they have already organized, because just the name 'occupy' instill fear...
so yeah, it is our own 'Arab spring' if you will.
We'll know in a few months if these guys start knocking off Democratic incumbents for their own guys.
well they did 'mic check' Obama, but their goal isn't in get rid of leaders and install crazy fanatics like Joe Walsh.. it's to let those who are already elected know the whole world is watching..
