So, let’s talk about the Occupy movement, that protest movement speaking against the social and economic inequalities. Here, the people speak against the rich, saying that the system is based on finances and power, which favors the greed of the few, to the dismay of the many in need. It’s the 99% rising up against the mighty 1%, and you’re part of that 99%.
This is a global day of actions for our rights as citizen. Our freedom is at stake, and we all need to unite and rise up against the corrupted government that finances the greedy and wars. Now’s the time to claim our rights promised in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We are the 99%, we won’t let this happen.
Or so that’s what they pretend to be defending, the protestors aren’t all fighting the good fight in there. Most occupiers don’t even know exactly what they’re protesting about, and there have been cases of drug consumption leading to overdoses and death, and even sexual harassments. For example, 23-year-old Ashlie Gough of Victoria , who died of an overdose in Vancouver
While most of them are surely fighting the good fight in there, some others are mainly opportunists, or just randoms who go with the flow and don't stand up for themselves.
Anyway, of course there are a majority who fights for the real justice in there, but still, everyone has their own point of view in the matter. (Mine is, damn hippies arguing 'bout "Hurr-durr we're 99% we's so opressed, tax the rich!")
What a funny interpretation of the article! Realistic and true though... I agree with the fact that it's bad to see sexual or drug problems in the protestations... It doesn't need to be... And of course the medias are showing it everywhere and trying to destroy the movement... But we got to stand tall and express ourselves about our rights to live in a free and equal world! We must boycott corporations buying from China to make better profits by enjoying slavery and children work! And we must fight to get a better balance between riches and poor people!
