Occupy Peeps: Tell Me, what do you want?!

I just had to ask. What is it that you want?

Pics disclaimer: random occupy protest signs from all over the net

(Note that: These signs don't even make much sense. And, I loved V for Vendetta, now this movement has tainted the memory of this mask for me!)

In the earlier days of the Occupy coverage, random protesters were asked by news crews as to what is it that they're really rallying for? Some people could not give the news crew a clear answer and those who gave answers, gave different answers.

Yet still, without a particular unified cause, the movement lives on.

So, I don’t know if these people realize that if they don’t stand for something or anything and they don’t tell us (or the MAN) what they want, even if we (or the MAN) wanted to appease them… No one would really know how to.

So... Dear US Occupiers, Obama is not a genie in a bottle (out to make everyone's dreams come true).

Since I'm pretty sure your movement was somehow inspired by the recent happenings around the globe. Let us look to these events for some guidance, for ex:

Egypt protesters: "We want Mubarak out" = Ok, Mubarak goes away to his resort / sick bed.

Gadhafi protesters: "We want Gadhafi out" = Ok, Sarkozy supports, NATO comes in, Gadhafi is killed by Libyan rebels somewhere near his hometown. Mission accomplished.

Italians disapprove of Berlusconi’s handling of the Italian economy = Berlusconi commits to go and then he resigns.

In comparison, this Occupy Movement does not give the world a clear message of what they want to happen.

According to occupywallst.org: "Occupy Wall Street is a people-powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty Square in Manhattan’s Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #ows is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations. The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people are writing the rules of an unfair global economy that is foreclosing on our future."

Ok, noted. I ask again: What is it that you want now?

According to its Wikipedia entry, that according to the Washington Post, that the movement, which has been described as a “democratic awakening” by Cornel West, is difficult to distill to a few demands.

Ok, so no demand list. Not even a list of who you want to demand whatever it is you guys are rallying about from? So, how will this work out?

The thing is... In protest movement, it seems it is best to keep it simple.

Look at Egypt... Tahrir square (2.0), just now has succeeded in ending the people's love affair with the military, they've rallied to make them step down.

See, send a clear message. Rally on. Message is subsequently received. The MAN yields - well that is the cabinet resigns, not the military heads. But the people power wins, sort of (for now).

But without a clear unified cause, it seems to me the Occupy people are just full of angst, behaving like anarchist, raging on, and for what, really?

I can't make it out amidst all the bruhaha that's going on.

So Occupy people, make it easy for whatever it is that you want to happen, to happen: JUST SPELL IT OUT.
