Well you two are not the only ones who've called OWS as America's Arab Spring, but the Arab Spring was a response to oppressive regimes. Our current "regime" is exactly the one that you, ekg, and probably most of the OWS protesters, voted for.
So the government is neither a tyranny nor even your political opposition. Instead, it's exactly what you've voted for. So trying to identify it as a tyranny just like the Arab governments that were replaced seems ridiculous to me. Protesting against student loans, a poor job economy, and Wall Street corruption hardly seem to rise to that level.
Ahhh....so you still don't get it!
