I cant listen to your live stream when the group chanting begins, it feels like group-think and it seems like subtle brain washing. Its got to be maddening to be there and listen to that for more than a minute. Cant you get some type of PA system?
ah ok. Thanks
I'm the first to admit it's weird and new, but love finds a way, not much else gets me out of bed in the morning.
Very clever PA system. Yes, annoying to watch online...but effective for those on the ground. Rock on, 99%!!!
It's not that at all. Regulations in the park forbid PA systems. The police interpret that as no megaphones. The human microphone is a solution. It's not cultish. The people shouting out the words don't necessarily believe or endorse them, they are just acting as a P.A. system where one is prohibited. And it's fun, and it's unique to the movement. That's all it is.
No. PA system is illegal, the chanting is a workaround.
