To all that is wrong with the “Occupy” movement–A Cultural Occupy

For all that is wrong with the "hippy" generation (a group of people who ultimately fed the machine to its current girth) – there was something right…and its only a few words.

"Turn on, tune in, drop out"

Or, worded better for now: Learn and reject.

I think we need to do that again.

We live in a culture that is supportive of the ideals we reject. We buy from the hand that slaps us in the end, and we dont want to let go of the money that ultimately destroys us.

We cant expect to occupy anywhere if we cant occupy ourselves with things other than the idols of consumerism and capitalism.

We need a cultural occupation , and to just drop all the stuff that feeds the beast.

Im unsure if this makes much sense. I guess Im saying that once there was a great disconnect, and it failed…but also kind of worked, and we shouldnt discount even minor successes. And we should again try and disconnect more with the ties that currently bind us to this loose cannon of a society we live in.

You cant occupy a person thats already ocupied (by the wrong things). And thats us, thats others, thats the problem. We are still occupied as individuals, by the things we are trying to fight.

And we are acting blind to them possessing us every day. And yet we expect to advance….

We need to evict some awful shit.
