You may have noticed a lot of my blog posts as of late pertain to the 99 percent’s movement to Occupy Everything, but it’s just so darn exciting! It’s the great awakening, come to North America! An uprising spanning the globe as the world’s people rise up against the few who hold power.
If that doesn’t completely capture your imagination, then what exactly is wrong with you?
Just take a look at this video showing a higher ranking police officer randomly clubbing a crowd of people:
Yes, the brutality is shocking, but notice what happens. The officer gets overwhelmed by a mob of camera wielding, mentally empowered people, and eventually retreats back behind the line despite firing pepper spray into the crowd.
What a beautiful analogy for the transition humankind is embarking upon. The 1 percent’s use of force will only work up to a certain point, after which the mob takes over, engulfing all that stands in it’s path.
And what’s even more inspiring from this clip is the people’s utter lack of violent retaliation. Despite police provocation, the protesters didn’t respond with anything more than chants and jeers. Yes! Stay classy, New York.
Even if these protests fade away – which I sincerely hope they don’t – the movement towards a more just civilization will keep growing stronger. Awareness of real issues, like the distribution of wealth and the military industrial complex, are at an all time high, and dissemination has never been easier.
Soon, really soon – within a decade or two – the uprising will reach a critical mass. The 1 percent’s wealth and power will prove no match for a united and empowered population, and they’ll have no choice but to give in to the demands of the people.
A brighter future for all is just around the corner.
