“What Do Protesters Even Want?” – The Mainstream Media
Ideas are beginning to scatter about what the Occupy Wall Street Movement really means. Well in simple context, the Occupy Wall Street Movement was really intended to be a peaceful protest against corporate greed on wall street, but has translated in to a global mess of perspectives, revolving around a general theme of socialism.
Essentially 1 percent of the United States nation income is owned by two-thirds of the countries wealth. Protesters no longer want to choose between two necessities in life, and are tired of a political system that is content with selling out its citizens. The occupiers draft manifesto, which includes wants of “an end to the exploitation of the poor by the rich”, has many interpretations and nearly 4 months later is only being carried out by squatters rather than the protesters themselves.
This protest on Wall Street, though not effecting the market in any drastic way, has effected the worlds perspective on the United States government, and culture itself for it is this super power which takes the heaviest hit of blame. The spread of this movement has reaches thousands of communities among tens of countries and continues to grow. Setting up in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery resides the Vancouver chapter of this movement which is actively protesting in rather unconventional ways on a daily basis.
