There is more to the Occupy __________ "movement" than garbage, rape, drugs, robbery, public defecation, arson, inane slogans, Guy Fawkes masks, and general incoherence.

As the cleanup (funded by taxpayers) continues, so does the analysis.  NRO has a very interesting post on this subject, starting with in-depth analysis of the movement of Frontier Labs.  Distilled down to its essence, that most occupoopers are socially isolated people who want to be a part of something larger than themselves.

What did Frontier Lab discover? First, that many of the rank-and-file occupiers feel isolated in their lives, and appear to lack basic community ties such as are provided by participation in clubs, churches, and strong families.

Despite social media tools, the internet, pervasive media, and ubiquitous data connectivity;  these kiddos lack real social interaction with others.  This isolation from reality shows itself in how these protesters were easily manipulated by the organizers and leaders of this "spontaneous" movement.  Go back in the archives or visit YouTube for examples of how clueless these children are.

They have have education, technology, electronic connectivity, media, and capital (shhh, keep that on the down low!) but are not grounded in the reality the actual 99% of us live in.

It goes to show that Astroturf® campaigns like this lack the soul and conviction that genuine mass political movements have.  That's why Occupy __________ will be remembered as a dirty farce rather than a serious force.
