[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651766, member: 1550"] nlj, sure it is, but there is not a strong presence in the U.S. It only was in certain big cities anyway. In the U.S., Occupy has no chance. They are in the minority and the country is in a huge conservative swing. I'll bet a lot of kids don't even know what Occupy is. I know Jumper and Sonic wouldn't have a clue...probably Princess either. Bart may know, but scoff at them. We haven't had much going on with Occupy for a long, long time. It never got anywhere. Nothing has changed and the politcians are not paying attention to them. They do not equal enough votes and they will antagonize conservatives if they pay any attention to them. I am well awre that yong people in Europe are far more world-wise than in the U.S. and that our country is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy more conservative. And apathetic. And insular. Heck, when only half the population chooses to vote in a presidential election, you KNOW our country basically is not all that engaged in the affairs of things. Having said that, I have no doubt that the smaller amount of people in the U.S. who DO care use the internet to continue communicating their wishes and to connect with others who think as they do. They won't get anywhere, at least not in the U.S. Our state of Wisconsin just went "Right to Work" because of our uber-conservative govenor. That means the death of unions in a once very pro-union state. Trust me, things are changing here, but not Occupy's way. The rich and powerful have more power here than they ever had before in my lifetime. [/QUOTE]
