Targeting the 1%

Movements need distinct targets to galvanize & motivate supporters.

From the beginning, the Occupy Movement has aspired to represent the 99%, therefore the natural targets of the Movement are the members of the 1% & their lifestyles.

We should aim to disrupt & subvert their lives in proportion to the extent that their greed, selfishness & irresponsibility have disrupted & subverted the lives of members of the 99% (i.e. "An eye for an eye" or "You f*ck with us & we'll f*ck with you!").

As well as images & stats of poverty, destitution & homelessness, we need to bombard the 1% with images, stats, hard-hitting slogans, etc., relating to the environmental devastation, pollution, toxic waste, ill-health, deaths, etc., their greed has caused.

We must make it clear to the 1% (including their families) that we blame them for all the ills of the world, we're not going to take it any more, & we're not going to let them off the hook 'til they've paid to repair all the damage they've caused, & 'til the financial, economic, political, media, & social systems have been revamped to exclude & prevent bias.

Unless we take the protests to the 1% - right in their faces - they'll continue to push the US, the UK & the entire Western world towards the rapacious "Hong Kong" model (& even beyond, if they're not stopped!).

The West's 1% don't give a damn about encampments & protests in parks, squares & other public spaces (i.e. the 99%'s spaces) - they don't inhabit the 99%'s world. Unlike in Tunisia or Egypt, the West's 1% can move at will across the globe, so we've got to Occupy them wherever & whenever we find them!
