Ironic isn't it that the people that are most effected by financial polices - the working class and poor - usually don't come out to these kind of things.
But I wouldn't give up on it yet, a core seems to be prepared for long-term occupation and it could grow.
- yardie 15y agoThe working stiff has to go to work or lose hist job in a shitty economy. Besides he already noted that the number of protesters was larger during the weekend. But then Monday rolls around and it's back to work. Plus the audience wasn't that appealing. If there were more middle class people mixed in the protest than it might have broader appeal, if there was even a few that represented the group, clean shaven and able to eloquently speak that would go a long way. From the outside it just looks like a bunch of hippies.
- ddw 15y agoCertainly. But the hope is that if the core keeps some sort of energy going that other people can join in when they can. We'll have to see if it can gain any momentum at all.
- danssig 15y agoThis isn't ironic, it's completely expected. The people most effected can't afford to come out to something like this. Their boss (or bosses for those that work multiple jobs) aren't going to give them any more time off than they must. If they even heard that an employee went to something like this they would fire them for sure.
- ddw 15y agoOh I agree, probably should've stated as such in my post.
