Forum Post: OWS's opposition is on the offensive

OWS has been around long enough for its opposition to think of strategies. Like slanderous youtube videos and media campaigns. They seem to have moved past provoking violence and telling us the movement is dead.

No reason to be paranoid, just be aware. OWS is an idea, not a cult, and the majority of supporters are on the internet.

I like Anonymous! Let us face it, if this were a movie, would I be rooting for the vigilante, like Batman or rooting for the Joker and the crooked politicians, in the back pocket of the Joker? I mean, here are good guy hackers doing something other than mod video games or steal credit card numbers. I am supposed to hate them or something? They are awesome! So long as the USA has Joker types and crooked politicians, what is wrong with having a few Batman types, too? We can't have everyone arming Mexican drug lords with assault rifles....

"I'm anxiously waiting for OWS: The Movie"

-Just as long as there are no sparkling I-Bankers...I am sick of the super feminine male vampire angle. Jerry Dandridge, in Fright Night 2011, now there is a freaking vampire Sean Connery can hang out with! [nod]

See I have a problem with every time anyone says anything bad about OWS, they are labeled as an infiltrator, a provocateur and such.

It never occurs to people that OWS does really have factions that hate this Nation and our way of life and want to destroy her to remake her in their image.

Certainly not all, but those folks are well represented and blaming other people for them is not constructive.

It fits with the narrative of OWS being anti-violent saying it was the other dude that did it, (the ODDIT defense) but also gives ammunition to detractors when they can point to real life actions and posts from OWS that are violent and threatening.

You mean every news outlet :-)

I'm not sure how successful their fox news takedown was. I didn't hear anything about it.
