@ the picture they use

“I’m tired of this,” he said, as the clock neared midnight.

“I’m tired of them,” he said, pointing to the remaining contingent of Occupiers in the park.

“I’m tired of them,” he said, pointing to the NYPD.

“I’m tired of this whole fucking thing.”

certainly can relate to that

A self proclaimed "chief organizer". just one of many.

@ the picture they use

Just a guy getting arrested,, There were a lot of folks that supported Ron,, and Protested the FED and Corporatism.

It was not all Adbusters folks. (though they co-opted)

For those who don't want to give it trafic.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

I've been tired of this [bowel] "movement" for a long time.

Also, that picture isn't necessarily something we want to give traffic to, no.

 

[dannno]

There were a lot of End the Fed and RP supporters at the OWS protests I went to, so I don't think it is unfair to use that picture at all.

That cop is getting ready to shove his hand down that guys' pants.

 

[dannno]

Wow, this is great news, Occupy will be SOOO much better off without this guy!!

Black openly expressed his support for Barack Obama, even insisting that occupiers did not really want to protest against the president.

To anarchist insiders who hate both political parties, he represents the Democratic Party’s co-opting of Occupy Wall Street.

This sounds like Occupy is rejecting the establishmenting of the movement as happened to the Tea Party. Good for them!

I'd be more inclined to occupy our local municipal or county seats, and demand independence. Wallowing about in a park, doesn't solve shit. You think if any great Civil Disobedience movement did what Occupy did they would have any success? Pitch some tents in a fucking park? WEAK.

Libertarians don't "Occupy" public space just for the sake of clogging things up on Wall Street. The very idea of "occupy wall street" is not liberty-oriented because I'm sure people here can think of something better to do than stand around in a street and participate in general mayhem for no other reason than to express their disdain, even though they wouldn't do this if they weren't part of a collective. Occupy was a collective movement, and I say was because, hopefully, it is in its death throes now. I really am sick of it and want it to disappear. It is not productive and has nothing to do with liberty. Some liberty-minded people may go there to talk to people, but the origins of this movement clearly had nothing to do with liberty.

They're free even though they depend on the collective to express it. Yeah, right. What a joke.

My sentiments exactly. Occupy is such a stupid, absurd idea.

Yeah, that's a good point. If you're going to protest, do it peacefully and don't destroy private property or make things difficult for private citizens just because you "hate the system".

I hate even the name of the movement "Occupy".

What do you know of it's origin?

The bullshit that was pushed by Beck and Faux?

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Damn... Daily Caller is bringing back the 60s-70s Hippy-Peacenicks with that pic.

It sucks that dumbass America will look at this picture and play right into GOP/RNC/corporate Fascist Propaganda world, that Ron Paul supporters are all POT SMOKERS/Druggies-troublemakers.

There's nothing un-libertarian about stopping a crime in progress.

No, I know because occupying public space just for the sake of clogging things up (they really don't say why they find "occupying" to be an effective method of protest, so I tend to think it's not) is not productive and has nothing to do with liberty. It is not something that liberty-minded people do. It is not a movement that libertarians would dream up. If it's already there, they may go and talk, but no libertarian is going to propose an idea to simply stand around in a park as a form of protest and have thousands of people get on board with it as if it were actually an appealing liberty-oriented solution to anything.

I also know because it is inherently collective. Nobody would do this if they didn't have the group mentality to hide behind. Occupy is very quick to say "We support this and not this", regardless of what any individual may believe. The whole idea of occupy relies on the collective, so I don't believe there's any facet of its origins that was liberty-oriented.
