Revolutions start with the 10% that will be more actively involved, even if that only means retweeting right now. But I believe polls have already showed that most Americans /support agree with the OWS protests.
- mseebach 15y agoI would be wary reading too much into polled support for OWS. As the movement has no defined goals or means, it's an abstract concept that it's easy to, at least, not be against. Also, for that same reason, it's very easy to construct poll questions that give you the exact response you're looking for (not that it was difficult to begin with). Also, FWIW, I don't think there's really enough data to say anything meaningful about the impact of re-tweeting on revolutions. Rather, "clicktivism" is often ridiculed for not contributing anything at all towards political means.
