There's a word for this kind of situation, can anyone tell me what it is?

I'm honestly not sure what to make of this movement. I'm very much against Wall Street (maybe even a bit anti-capitalism) so I can understand the general, non-specific complaints they have. But at the same time, the more general a protest is, the easier it is to be co-opted by every other cause. And once that happens, it'll never be taken seriously in politics. =/

Lookup Gini Coefficients. It has to do with the distribution of wealth in regard to a completely evenly distributed system of wealth. Kind of interesting stuff. Apparently Occupy Seattle was mediocre. Supposedly sold a lot of hot dogs though.

Most protests do. =/
Take the Tea Party. I'm actually not against the principles that started it (though the motivation is questionable) but it's so full of idiots now that it's hard to take seriously.

Goddammit Gunslinger.

Yeah Rik, I feel the same way about the Tea Party as well. Politcally I'm a moderate, but I can get behind their ideas. As soon as its in practice, DERP. No thanks. =\

Why can't a bunch of people get together and be more smarter instead of poopy dumb heads?
