In many occupied countries, there are some people who do not like their occupiers, but meekly accept their subjugation and do whatever their oppressive/repressive PTB want them to do. They are afraid that they will get hurt, or become more materially uncomfortable if they resist.
There are those that actually support the occupiers as well, some because they are weak in character and will yield to any authority that subjugates them, and/or because they get privileges from their new masters for their betrayal of their country and their support of them.
In contrast, there are some that wish to be free and determine their own destinies to the greatest extent possible, and these folks take an active role in resisting occupation.
In our case, our country is occupied by Wall St/wealthy private interests. In principle, the occupation of our nation by Wall St/wealthy private interests is not really all that different from the fascist occupations of Europe and Africa, or the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe, the British occupation of the American Colonies, or the monarchal occupations of France and Russia befoe their respective struggles for independence. Wall St is just more insidious and subtle in most ways. Orwellian, you might say:
(Marcos wrote this in 1997 during the Zapatista uprising, and IMO, this is the essence of what we, and the other movements are struggling against:
"The global power of the financial centers is so great, that they can afford not to worry about the political tendency of those who hold power in a nation, if the economic program (in other words, the role that nation has in the global economic megaprogram) remains unaltered. The financial disciplines impose themselves upon the different colors of the world political spectrum in regards to the government of any nation. The great world power can tolerate a leftist government in any part of the world, as long as the government does not take measures that go against the needs of the world financial centers. But in no way will it tolerate that an alternative economic, political and social organization consolidate. For the megapolitics, the national politics are dwarfed and submit to the dictates of the financial centers. It will be this way until the dwarfs rebel . ."http://www.raptorial.com/Zine/Marcos/Marcos6.htmlIt takes all kinds to make a world. There will always be a pretty fair number of "Good Germans" or "Tories" in any occupied land.
It's frustrating, but it is what it is. Your passion is completely understandable, and eminently forgivable.
Thank you, coalition_unwilling, for your actions in trying to help free our country from the yoke of Wall St.
Peace and solidarity
