Occupy Nothing At All

To divide and conquer is how you defeat your enemy. The Occupy Wall Street movement can now be conquered quite easily, for it has divided itself.

Since many of the round-the-clock encampments have been disbanded, the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators have been fragmented and splintered, according to Amy Westfeldt of the Associated Press. Instead of speaking with one voice, the protesters have had their tongues confounded by being split into different groups and diverted to working on different issues. According to Westfeldt's article, several protesters say the smaller factions are getting in the way of the larger message about reversing the economic inequality that persists in the United States. The movement has become very democratic in addressing concerns about issues but very ineffective in getting anything accomplished.

"Are they all on the same page?" union organizer Mario Rodriguez asks rhetorically. "In terms of strategy and tactics, I don't think they are."

They're roadkill for the right.

And so the Occupy Wall Street movement has ended before it's begun, And life goes on. And no one cares.
