America hates biotches. It’s in our blood I think. We don’t
like to see whiney kids, we hate that guy in front of us complaining because he
was shorted 2 pennies, we cringe when Kobe goes up and comes down sobbing about
someone breathing on his neck, when our kids get hurt we tell them to rub some
dirt on it (or leaves when it’s in the eye region)…the bottom line is that by
and large we don’t like people complaining, crying or biotching. We are a
nation of “doers” and go getters.
Watch this, Quick test.
You see a guy on the side of the street, he’s asking for
money. He’s just standing there. Next to him there’s a guy asking for money, he
has a bottle of windex and a squeegee…which guy are you giving your buck to?
Most are going to help the guy trying to work. That’s us.
Now with those “work-colored” eyes let talk about Occupy
Wall Street. It’s been about a year since they first steam rolled into a
political capital near you. At first with the noble cause of representing 99% in a place where only the 1% was being heard.
SO wtf happened then? Where are they now and why does it look like the 1% is
still the only group being heard?
I have a couple of theories.
Why Occupy Wall Street Failed Theory 1…
As it turns out you can’t just biotch about your problems,
see the first sentence of this post, and if the 99% did nothing at all they
biotched a good heap. The sad thing is they were actually biotching over
important things and as it turns out their message (I’m going to go high level
hear and stick with “things are fukked up and need to change”) is 100% valid
and was representative of what most people felt and still feel…”things are
fukked up and need to change.”
Why Occupy Wall Street Failed Theory 2
THIS IS NOT YOU
.
Nor is this
Or this.
Or is it?
Imagine you’re at work. Your boss comes in calls a meeting
of your department and tells you that your whole department is having a salary
reduction of 50%, you’ll be required to work weekends and you’ll not be paid
overtime. You’re most likely pissed, as is everyone in your department, but
hey, you have a mortgage to pay and kids to feed. You grin and bear it, you don’t
say shyt. You know who doesn’t grin and bear it? The pink haired new guy with
the way to tight jeans and gaping holes in his ears. He speaks up. In fact he’s
pissed. He says something. You don’t say
shyt. You think it. You silently nod, but you don’t say shyt. He starts to try
to organize a meeting, you don’t say shyt. He posts meeting times in the break
room, you don’t say shyt. He meets with the boss, then gets fired... You don’t
say shyt.
Why, because he didn’t look like you? Forget the fact that you
agreed with him 100% he didn’t look like you so when it came time to join up
you couldn’t because he wasn’t you…or so you though. Truth is he’s EXACTLY you
(minus the hair, jeans and holes). He has a family, he has a mortgage, he even
shared the same job as you. The difference was he wasn’t a biotch, re-read the
first sentence of this post again. Now you may be asking, “if he wasn’t a
bitoch and America doesn’t like biotches, AND he still failed then what’s the
problem?”
The answer: “you’re a little biotch”. The problem wasn’t
him, he did the right thing. The problem was you. YOU. YOU saw what was going on,
YOU had every opportunity to help change things, YOU didn’t…because you’re a
biotch...
Now multiply this on a national level and well it turns out
America is full of biotches, approximately 98%.
1% - A group of go getters viciously screwing over the other
99%
1% - A group of go getters trying to fight that other 1%
98% - A group of biotches.
I have another theory but seriously theory 2 has me thinking
that it’s more or less the right theory, Occupy Wall Street didn’t fail,
Americans failed.
I mean just look at our country, literally 1% owns damn near
everything. And the rest sit idly by and we, yes we, don’t do or say a damn
thing.
Your goal then should NOT be to become a 99%er, the majority
of that group is full of biotches, you
should aspire to be a 1%er.
To recap.
-
Occupy Wall Street was/is a good cause
-
It represented you
-
You’re a biotch.
I suggest changing that last one.
