Occupy Wall Street: Take a Hint

Take a hint, kids: no one pays attention to you when you throw a tantrum. Oh, they know you're there, all right. But they're doing their best to ignore you; because you look like an idiot.


If you wanted to gain sympathy from the public, you should have kept this nonviolent. If you wanted a base of ops, you should have taken better care of the public land you used for the purpose.

And now, if you want to rectify your public image, and sway people back in your favor, take a hint: the best form of protest is nonviolent resistance. Yes, it's hard to do, and it's certainly not as fun as getting to hit people; but you gain sympathy by appearing to be victimized. Gandhi did it; so can you. So would I, if I decided there was anything worth my time protesting.

If this movement is really being ran by shady politicos, they'd better get their shit together quickly. No matter what their endgame is.
