Honestly /b/, are any of you guys disgusted when you see that 90% of the 99% literally have no idea why they're protesting? My school just recently got a mass e-mail by some random kid proposing an occupy (school name) and the great majority attending are kids who couldn't point my city out on a map. Honestly I couldn't really care either way with this whole occupy movement but it really bugs me when these morons start protesting...tldr: sick of hipsters pretending occupy (wherever) is the thing to do
self-bump
>>358466063totally agree!I live in Sydney and saw an 'Occupy Sydney' poster today - it's like the Australian unemployment is currently at its lowest point in years, social mobility is high, which seems to be the main things that people are protesting in the states. From what I could get from the website this occupy sydney is more of a whinge about "corporations" without any concrete or specific concerns.
i'm disgusted when candy-asss post how ignorant they are on /b/
>>358466466btwAustralian unemployment <5%minimum wage AUD$15.51/hrunemployment benefit (with rent assistance) ~$280/week1 AUD = 1.0145 USD
>>358466466exactly, my school is now overrun with this bullshit. seriously, if you're going to protest, be able to tell me what you're doing.
this whole movement is just full of ignorant mongoloids.

>>358467485Let me guess he's also a government plant? gtfo. I agree OP. Christ I've barely been making rent for months, so I did my RSA (Responsible Service of Alchol, you need it for any bartending or decent waitressing job in Aus) and got myself 2 better jobs. These idiots protesting need to spend less time perfecting signs and more time perfecting their resume and interview skills.

>>358468053Achol? Let me guess how well you did.
>>358468090lol
>>3584682300/10Everybody knows that two jobs are good for cruise control
>>358467831that's the 99%
>>358468152That video have quite a bit of misinfo by the Brit guy, though.
>>358468230xD Hells nah!! No one should have to work any jobs!!!But seriously, I love working, I love my jobs, they may be tiring and take a bit of a toll on my social life/education but I'm still able to balance it out in the end and I appreciate going out on the weekends that I get off so much more. I reallllly hated not working, not just because I was broke but because I felt so lazy and I was SOOO bored :/
>>358466063They are called children, yes they maybe in their 20s but they have no experience of the real world, even a child of the most fucked up family on welfare has no idea of the real world, where you walk for miles for clean water, girls die in childbirth at 15 and getting banned from going on the internet is NOT considered child abuse. A bunch of dumb brain dead kiddies who don't even know who Guy Fawkes was
Your fortune: ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!>>358466063This whole thing is being instigated by wealthy Liberal pigs, but I can't prove it. Not even the FBI can, but maybe the NSA can.
>>358468496what is misinfo about that interview
>>358468496Elaborate.
>>358466739Your cost of living is much more expensive than much of the U.S., however.
>>358468496go on...
>>358468659Not really o.O We have a lower unemployment rate and a lower homeless rate than you. Our country is actually thriving pretty nicely at the moment. We're a seriously lucky country not only because we have a seriously beautiful land but because we have so much opportunity. People just don't know how to grab hold of that opportunity :/
>>358468728http://www.weather.com/weather/today/New+York+NY+USNY0996>Weather, now or later.
>>358468657The U.S. having the highest corporate tax rate in the world; Japan's is higher. Also, virtually every other country has many other forms of corporate taxes, notably corporate turnover, among others, which actually makes the U.S. quite a bit further down the list.Talking about income tax was also atleast - somewhat - misleading, if anyone would bother with the CBO's recent report on the upper income tax bracket(s), nevermind how absurdly low the taxation is on profits from the stock market.
>>358467831I will agree this protester guy is a fucking idiot.But heres my view on it, I believe that it is pretty bullshit how big corps. get all the fucking bail out/tax cuts because they are the "job creator group" BULL FUCKING SHIT. They are the "lets all be jews and hoard our money/outsource our jobs so we dont have to give back as much and hoard more money" group. I agree with the "main" purpose of this protest but there is alot ALOT of retards out there, just going out there because it is "something to do hurr hurr" and they are making the entire protest look pretty fucking bad. That does piss me off.

>>358469168At least they're getting out and doing something instead of just waiting behind that wall of yours, candy-ass.
>>358469168OP here, I'll totally agree with you on that. I'm 100% in support of educated people with a goal in sight trying to get their point across, but when your entire protests are filled with these morons, it really tarnishes your entire movement
Unemployment rate climbing...illuminati laughing....children starving.....bankers imbibing.....houses taken, no place to rest....wall street sleeps soundly on it's bed of invisible dollars....srsly, is this real life guys...are there still people that think the system is working just fine ie:>>358466814>>358466943>>358467151>>etc etc etcfucking idiots

It's stupid. They don't have a real cause.. I mean, they have a cause, but they don't have a solution. They say now that they want the rich to be taxed.. that's great and all, but why propose this to the bankers on wall street? Propose this to the president, show up on HIS doorstep and occupy that.Still.. it's better than how it was before.. no one doing ANYTHING and pretending to be ignorant.
>>358469651copied from one of their posts actuallythey seem like rednecks (meaning not very smart)
Oh woe is me HOW FAR HAS ANON FALLEN?WE USED TO BE FIRED UP ABOUT OVERTHROWING THE GOV'T...now were overrun by this repuglican spookfest....GROW SOME BALLS AGAIN ANON...we started this shit and it's time to follow through oct 15, find /b/retheren and voice your opinion on corporate greed and the failure of our bought congress.......
>>358469515>implying a huge chunk don't pay payroll taxes, and aren't protesting for a job to be able to do so
Everyone already knows what the problem is. We are divided over the solution, so we're stuck with corporatism as a "compromise"
Occupy Wall Street:A group of activists believing that by yelling some slogans loudly enough that they don't fully understand about some economic concepts they don't even begin to comprehend, they can change an economic situation they don't really like into a better one that they haven't quite defined yet.
>>358468728Who says they're hoarding? A ton of the people think the rich spend thing money influencing the political process.
>>358470001better than doing what you're doing.......nothing
>>358469515completely ignores all taxes other than income taxtypical paid liar

>>358469880summerfag trying to act like an oldfag. old /b/ would not have supported a bunch of hippy college kids with no direction in their protest with no proposed solution. instead we would have trolled these morons.
>>358469880Yeah, we were into that a few years ago, but we've settled down now, gotten married. We have kids to take care of now. Overthrowing the government is a young chan's game.
>>358469425>Illuminati NOPE.AVI
do you REALLY want to know what the protests are about??see this link:http://www.businessinsider.com/what-wall-street-protesters-are-so-angry-about-2011-10?op=1>e.g. average wages haven't increased since 1964 in the USA
Truth, like it or not, this is like most other protests. Although I can't help but notice how much more unruly these are than the tea party protests, it's probably because they were attended by a larger percentage of middle aged people who have a greater sense of responsibility (it comes with age, I'm not judging).Truth is there are people in this movement that are really hurting and have a message that needs to be heard. What is also truth is that their voice is being drowned out by selfish, ignorant college students who think that they're the first people in the history of the world to read a book and that their over-simplified economic strategies they came up with one night while hitting the bong are the answer to all of life's problems.I feel for those hurting, but fuck those losers who are standing in front of them drowning out their voice.
these people are more focused on screaming at cops and getting them to mace them then crying over it than their actual objective
You don't PROTEST for a job, you APPLY for a job!
>>358470266>Oh look bullshit massaged out of context maths. Yeah Ok. Standardo of living says you are a fucking moron.
>>358470299That's why they're not going away whether we like it or not, whether we're right or wrong.
you bitchs are just looking for something to cry about. im part of occupy detroit and it is nothing but people WITH jobs that are sick and fucking tired of being shit on by the government and the banks. ive got 2 jobs and im a leader of our movement so quit bitching and do something out the hippocracy that weve created by letting fear run our lives for the past 10 years.stand up for yourselves you bunch of pansies and ignore the tailgaters that get their pictures taken
>>358470604>HDI index says USA is #12you're a fucking moronsome 45 million people cant get health care in the USA (2x the population of Australia)... nice standard of living Norway 0.876 () Australia 0.864 () Sweden 0.824 ( 6) Netherlands 0.818 ( 3) Germany 0.814 ( 5) Switzerland 0.813 ( 7) Ireland 0.813 ( 2) Canada 0.812 () Iceland 0.811 ( 8) Denmark 0.810 ( 9) Finland 0.806 ( 5) United States 0.799 ( 8)
>>358470850Bullshit, they aren't. Protests in the US only motivate a political base, they don't get SHIT done.HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people marched through the streets for weeks all across the country to protest the war in Iraq. we know how that went.THIS WILL HAVE THE SAME RESULT NIGGER
>>358470975THIS
>>358471081this is only the beginning
>>358471003actually virtually everyone can get healthcare in the US.... it's practically free with that dumb roody-poo president's subsidization
>>358470975SAME FAGGING THAT
>>358470299Basically this. I'm starting to suspect that I hate protests in general, and not in the sense that I oppose social change. Protests are the means to expanded social awareness, but they're certainly not the form of it. The sheer scale of utter dumbassery is an embarrassment to the ideals that are being pursued. More power to them if they can effect change in a positive way, but I hate ignorant assholes on a soapbox even more than social injustice.
>>358471194you are fucking kidding even with the "healthcare" plan passed its a joke please go apply for it. its nonexistant like your god damn soul our entire government is a joke and we all know it
>>358471355I already got it you dumb fat bulldyke
>>358471144lol, AND?What do you expect to accomplish that the biggest protests in world history weren't able to?
>>358471288you sir are my new poster child i wish i could do something for you but im in the same boat minus the full blown cancer. its in my brain just hasnt gotten aggressive yet... goodluck to you sir i wish you the best
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception. The term—a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock—originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of an internet community who spoke to, or about, himself while pretending to be another person.[1] The term now includes other uses of misleading online identities, such as those created to praise, defend or support a third party or organization.[2] A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym[3] and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as a independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer.
>>358471558that's....sad :|
>>358471194Your a fool in thinking healthcare is free. If so I would like you to tell me in great detail how you get free healthcare. Unless you have a child you are not qualified to get any sort of government healthcare assistance.
>>358471558This bulldyke is a fucking liar. Propangada much?
white house responce to occupy wall st."We Understand"what a bunch of crap, if they trully understood they woudn't have needed the protest in the first place. And Secondly after the protests the white house could have started drafting legislation that reflects the issues of the 99%. I hate to say it, but I believe little or nothing will improve except by offereing handouts to some elite lefties, while continuing to stomp on the 99%. Sad part is they'll take it too and consider themselves lucky
>>358471685>implying i claimed it was free, and you aren't a stupid dumbass hippie marxist

I had a recruiter call but didn't tell me where she got my phone number. So I played along and asked her what company and where..she didn't have any answers but told me she would email me that information. I grilled her and she said the job was in North Carolina but still wouldn't give me a job title. I told her I do not have time for recruiter games. She fumbled her words and I hung up. Recruiters, aka lying candy-asss.

It's an awareness movement. If you want anything done, ever, you can't do it with just intellectuals, you need to rally the retards, because that's what the masses consists of.

>>358472273Coverage that you speak of costs more than a brand new car payment with a approximate total of $700.00 a month.

>>358472273>herpaderpderpderpdeeeerpaherpderpderpValid argument, but I fail to see how your herp was properly incorporated in your argument. Without it, what's herping and what's derping are merely semantics.
>>358472454It wouldnt if the fucking illegals were not driving up the costs by not paying for a damn thing.\When someone goes in that dosent pay for treatment but can well afford it if they didnt have their fucking IPHONE the medical services and Insurance companies have to make up the diffence. And that is the cost passed onto the consumer. Insurance companies only have a profit margin of 5% if they are lucky.

>>358467320>Australia is more socialist.No they aren't, actually.The Australian economy is freer both of corporate regulation and social command of the money supply.Yes, they have a higher minimum wage and some form of universal health care. But, OVERALL, the Australian economy is more Capitalist than the U.S.A. economy.People always love to think of the U.S.A. as the poster child of laissez-faire economics, when there are about ten countries with much more liberal (in the classical sense) economic structures than it.Canada, Denmark, Singapore, and New Zealand are also less burdened by social command than the U.S.
>>358472396Agreed. Thats what the right wing has done for the last 13 years.
