1) They have the concept of decentralized anonymous organizing down to a science, in a way their hippie grandparents could have only dreamed about.
I mean, the non-leaders have even retained onsite legal council to bail people out of jail - yet no one knows who's in charge. It's fucking brilliant.
2) they are the first generation in at least a century to understand the true meaning of anarchism/collectivism.
Individually, they are by and large cluless, idealistic dipshits. But as a whole, they have a unity of purpose that the Koch Bros could have only DREAMD abotu for the tea party.
This may be reaching a bit, but I think were seeing the birth of a new political power structure.

@OP > This may be reaching a bit, but I think were seeing the birth of a new political power structure.
I certainly hope so, but I don't want any sort of extremists no matter what party they are in. Everything in moderation, as long as something decent happens in Washington I'll pretty much be satisfied. Clinton was the only decent president in my lifetime... Obama has the right ideas, but it just doesn't seem to be working out for him.

and I can't vote for 7 years or more. Oh the way America's legal system works.
I was just told that all of the car dealerships that the government bailed out and forced them close, were owned by Republicans(or Democrats, I can't remember, lol politics.)

The claim is the closed dealerships were disproportionately repug owned.

The whole system is corrupt. A lot of the bailout money went right into people's pockets. We don't even know where a lot of it went. No one knows. How is that possible?
I wouldn't be shocked if someone were to suggest we drag all the politicians out to the streets and rape them, then find anyone who looks rich and rape them. It's unfortunate, but I personally must admit there doesn't seem to be any other option.

That would include moderation of moderation. So everything in moderation, as was originally said.

I was pleased to only see a few Guy Fawkes masks, today. Most people wearing them were just being playful and sitting around or joking with friends. One person wore the mask while trying to tape up Astrobrite (lol not recyclable) flyers about the protest. The flyers didn't really say much, either.

It's all symbolic to get attention from middle America. They're not in a position to topple the companies. This isn't Fight Club.

I can respect a good protest. This is just mindless.
Will be interesting to see who will most successfully hijack the 'movement' or whatever, though. Without a clear message or any goals, it's pretty ripe for a takeover. MoveOn.org is in a pretty good position for this...
