Welcome to my blog, please come inside, take a seat, and make yourself at home, but not too much.

Connection numero tre: 0cCuPy W411 5tR33+

The occupy wall street movement, or as they would call it #OccupyWallStreet, suffers from strongly contrasting philosophies behind it, from communistic ideals to the quite epicurean hippies to the sociopathic and anarchistic Anonymous movement. The mainstream media seems to have a large problem with the array of ideals on display, albeit all with the goal of reforming corruption. The media can't seem to decide if its a communism movement(FOX "news" coughcough) or if its a cluster****. You have the marxists who are merely out there to try and save the proletariat from the capitalists while the hippies are running around talking on and on about how "the man is keeping them down", as well as just being there and preaching free love, drugs, and other epicurean crap.

Finally, Anonymous. The plague of the internet, a collective, a hive mind keeping itself ready to defend the rights of the people from any injustice, or just for the lulz, whichever anonymous we may see, we are guaranteed an interesting spectacle. Starting their reign as lord and master of the internet by taking down the likes of scientology, they quickly expanded in their strange ways. They seem to resemble a cthulian entity, driving insane those who view their true form as well as being a little insane themselves. Anonymous seems to function with not one head, but rather with many nodes of intelligence which each think differently. Its chaotic nature, its collective ways seem to be the ultimate expression of anarchy with the best idea immediately catapulting into the forefront of the hivemind.

Where #OWS will lead is only up to the protesters, until then, I wish you good night, and good luck.
