The Occupy Wall Street movement has been at large for several months now, but has recently become more violent as police forces in occupied cities move in on protesters, like recently shown in University of California at Davis. Amidst all of this newfound violence, one might ask himself what is this all for? Is there a common cause that all protesters rally behind, which makes all of this justifiable? Nathan’s earlier blog post on the matter and the movements webpage both suggests that it is the political injustice and improper distribution of wealth in America that is the main issue of the movement.
However, recently I have stumbled upon videos and photos of people who have ridiculous demands, and are protesting only for the sake of protesting. The video posted with this post shows one of these people demanding the “top 1%” to pay his collage tuition, which could not be further away from the proposed goals of the movement. Now seeing this makes you wonder what is really being fought for in the streets of New York and so many other cities around North America.
