Imperialism and war are the only symptoms of corporate government that kill massive amounts of people. It's very puzzling to me that there is so much talk about the economy with barely a mention of the GLOBAL war waged by the USA, especially given the fact that war machines consume such a vast amount of oil and tax dollars.
I have my own theories why OCCUPY doesn't address these issues, but I want to hear what you all think first.
It's a symptom of a bigger problem, not the problem itself. We're trying to figure out a singular, streamlined message to communicate here and we can't cover everything. We need to get to the root causative factors.
Please watch this video, I think it goes right along with what we're trying to do here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX1N3opw5eI
