Not too timely, but pretty cognizant set of points…


Edit- Inadvertently swiped from drjim who posted this last month…

You Might Be An Occupier, If:

1. You moved to a tent in Zucotti Park because you always wanted a nicer place to live.

2. You quit your job to attend the protests, but your mother continues your allowance and now does the dishes herself.

3. You are confused that you can’t find the Wal-Mart on Wall Street.

4. You are enraged that the taxpayers had to bail out Wall Street even though youve 
never paid taxes or know anyone who has.

5. You hate capitalism but expect a capitalist to provide you a good paying job with great 
benefits.

6. You think Socialism has something to do with Facebook, and Capitalism has to do with Washington, DC.

7. You demand a job, forgetting that you were fired for not doing the one you had.

8. You despise the rich even though they pay your share of taxes.

9. You’re a little behind in your rent because your drug dealer insisted on cash.

10. You are very clear in your protest objectives:

    “Screw the USA”
    “Save the ______ (fill in the blanks) whales, spotted owls, sturgeon)”
    “Self-realization is the first step toward self-actualization”
    “Down with uh everything!”


11. You think 99 weeks of unemployment is the least the government should give you for the 3 months you put in at McDonalds.

12. You drove a Toyota to the protest, you’re plugged in to a Sony Walkman, talk over a Samsung phone, and play a Yamaha keyboard in a punk band, but you are incensed over jobs being outsourced to other countries.

13. You demand your rights, but can’t quite recall where they are enumerated.

14. You believe you have a right to every penny earned, but the rich do not, and you base your claim on equality.

15. You believe a man is greedy if he worked his way up to CEO on 16-hour days, runs a company employing thousands, and made $10 million last year, but is not greedy if he made $50 million last year for making two motion pictures or shooting a ball through a hoop.

16. You are convinced the system is holding you back from gaining wealth, status, and position. Dropping out of high school, dulling your mind with crack and MJ, a few arrests on your record, and stealing from your employer had nothing to do with it.

17. You left behind trash, feces, urine-soaked sod, discarded clothing, and used condoms after your Save the Environment protest.

18. You know you’re not a Socialist because you stick pretty much to yourself at parties.

19. You want to improve the environment and you have the tattoos and piercings to prove it.

20. You don’t pay taxes, but somehow that’s more than your fair share.

21. You hate the rich, but hope you win the lottery.

22. You haven’t bathed in over a month, but demand to be taken seriously.

23. From the looks of it, “greening” the environment means starting with your teeth.

24. You know your cause is just – because Nancy Pelosi admires you.


Sigh… And THEY are the generation that we’re supposed to turn over to??? I don’t think so…

  1. “You believe you have a right to every penny earned, but the rich do not, and you base your claim on equality.”

    I can’t wait to use that in a political argument.

  2. I’m hoping that the old adage that a Republican is a Democrat that’s been mugged comes true for these kids before they start to become a real political force.

  3. A) I bet this fits a LOT of the folks claiming to be ‘The 99%’, and the irony is deep and cutting.

    b) I suspect it doesn’t apply to my little cities ‘Occupy’ people. Their protest signs read like a Tea Party rally.

  4. 18. You know you’re not a Socialist because you stick pretty much to yourself at parties.

    Well that’s a relief to know 😀

    Pax

  5. I posted this a month or so ago, and got a really snide reply from an ‘anon’.
    Wonder if the same anonymous coward will slam Old_NFO??

  6. 25. You wear a mask to the protests because someday you may be applying for a job at one of the evil corporations you are protesting against. The last thing you need is to have your face plastered all over the internet.

    It’s occupocrisy!

  7. I want to know what the big draw is for having sex at a political protest. >.< I swear, I’m far from rich, but I’m certainly not part of their 99% and I’d slap the ever-loving shit out of any one of those cretins that said I was.

  8. Excellent post!!

    I am hopeful that they will not be the the generation that takes over from us. the occupiers is 20 years of liberal policy and feel good crap.

  9. WSF- Good question, I asked my daughters that since they are closer in age to them, and THEY couldn’t tell me (other than they’re idiots)

    PAX- 🙂

    drjim- Sorry didn’t mean to steal your post…

    BP- Thx

    Mrs. C- Love it!

    Mudbug- They probably GET an allowance for condoms…

    Snigs- Don’t sugar coat it 🙂

    Mr G- Yeahbut… Who else is coming up???

  10. Oh, I certainly don’t mind. Just go read through the comments I received. I think it was the last one, where the moron replied to most of the points and then said something like it wasn’t worth responding to the rest.
    Obviously a moonbat….
