I wonder if anyone on the Titanic thought of mentioning to the Captain that the boat looked like it was awfully close to hitting a massive glacier but decided that it would be socially awkward because everyone seemed to be having such a good time. I mean, who wants to be a buzz kill, right? That kind of news can really put a damper on an otherwise wonderful evening and maybe if one doesn't think about it the glacier will go away. Or one can think happy thoughts, think of all the things that are good, how the band is playing and people are having so much fun and the champagne is just so intoxicating.
And why embarrass the Captain with such news. After all, he's our Captain right or wrong, right?
In the late nineties, James Cameron spent over $200 million dollars to make a massive block buster Hollywood film that was in fact as subversive as they come. He used the system to warn us about what was to come inevitably if we stayed on the course we are on. And here we are.
So where is the silver lining in all of this? I feel it is still not too late. Anyone who has the foresight to see what's coming and the courage to go ahead and bother the nice folks who are already comfortable in their chair, quite happy with the cozy view they already have from the deck of the Titanic, we can still gain critical mass and outnumber the arrogant captain and his crew.
For those who still don't understand what Occupy is, it's a mutiny on the Titanic during those critical moments right before it's too late. There are only enough lifeboats for the first class deck and those folks like to have room to stretch out their legs. Throwing them overboard and labeling them the "one percent" does not stop the trajectory we are on. It's going to take a lot more than that. Rather than fighting over lifeboats what we need to be doing is focusing on removing (metaphorically speaking) the arrogant captain from the wheel and taking command of our destiny, individually, collectively, immediately.
OCCUPY TOGETHER - OCCUPY WITHIN.
