Fighting Hate With Love Vs. http://tempuspublishing.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=ournudism.com - Fighting Frustration With Hate:
Occupy Wall Street failed where others triumphed - WHY? Let me clarify why I believe it failed, the lessons which should be learned and the connections it might have to Fkk Portal in addition to other nudist organizations.
So what was Inhabit Wall Street? Basically it was an anarchist "leaderless" movement that, in other words, desired to stop capitalism. They offered up no real options to some of the issues but protested the things they didn't approve of in society today.
Their name says it all -
The Inhabit movement bears a striking similarity to Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin's "Awesome Left" movement of the late 60's and early 70's. Both the New Left and Inhabit movements attracted disappointed individuals who lost all confidence in the economic and political systems in the States. Both were out to shake up the status quo with the hopes of conducting a social revolution / social coup.
Neither were genuinely looking to solve the dilemmas and work within the current system. There were no established goals or standards for success and both were more revolutionaries than "evolutionaries." They both used negativity to bring focus to their attempts and getting detained on national TV was considered wonderful!
OWS March On The Brooklyn Bridge
In the case of Occupy Wall Street, the folks behind the scenes, pulling the strings, used lie and flat out lies to get attention. With the assistance of some reporters they put out fake statements to bring attention.
Their first big hoax was their statement that Radio Head (a popular music band) was going to preform when in fact, no such occasion was planned. People flocked by hundreds to see the band preform and once they got there, they were greeted by lots of Occupiers who started preaching. Naturally, many people were put off by this publicity stunt, but at the exact same time it gave OWS the chance to address hundreds of new potential supporters. Those that stayed must have immediately forgotten that they were lied to.
In marked comparison to the Awesome Left (and the OWS ideals) was the hippie movement. The hippie movement, which was part of the "Old Left," was out to address particular social issues and wanted to create something fresh rather than destroy the existing system. http://transformnation.info/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=ournudism.com desired to stop the war in Vietnam, they wanted equal rights, more endurance and used favorable messages to obtain support.
Each of the preceding movements appealed to very distinct demographics. The hippie movement of the late sixties triggered something within a particular demographic that believed in nonviolent ways to address issues. They attracted people from all over America and ignited something with artists such as Joan Baez, CCR, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and others who all dropped what they were doing and went to support the cause in a little known town in Awesome York called Woodstock.

The Occupy Wall Street movement, was about anarchy and completely shattering the status quo. Since they believed that lies and misinformation were okay ways to get attention, they appealed to those with quite different value systems (or the lack thereof) than those who supported the hippies.
The Awesome Left got its media attention when they protested at the 1968 democratic convention in Chicago. The 8 leaders / activists were arrested and put on trial in what's now widely referred to as the trial of the Chicago 8 (Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner and Bobby Seale).

Take Wall Street is going through the exact same thing. They set out to topple the status quo and have hardly any to show by way of positive impacts. The hippie movement disappeared over the years too, but they created a heritage that's felt and discussed to this very day. http://guitarcenterspo.net/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=voy-zone.com in areas of civil rights and the Vietnam War had a major impact on the United States. They also had a clear impact on the artwork in all its various facets. Their ideals are harking back to still today in music, art, and in regular life.
What I 'm basically trying to say is that while anger and rage are powerful motivators, Love has staying power. Young Naturists America isn't about taking away, it's about building on what presently exists and trying to correct much of the social problems that plague society today. We are not leeching away of others' success, we are building a subculture that is entirely independent and distinct.
