发帖数: 29846 | 1 Former Proud Occupier Admits That Occupy Is A “Crime-Ridden Shanty-Town”
by Beth Connolly on April 9, 2012
Max Bean is no longer an Occupier.
Though he started out last fall filled with a “hope unleashed,” he says
that he is one of many who have left the movement recently.
Except it is impossible to “leave” the movement, which is so far-reaching
that it encompasses every single thing in the world. Yes, really: “Occupy
has no borders. It’s not an organization. It has no membership. It has no
mandatory events. The whole discussion of what is and what isn’t Occupy has
always been spurious. Occupy is everything that calls itself “Occupy” and
everything that someone else calls “Occupy,” which is, more or less,
everything.”
That being said, he is no longer “working actively on the movement.” Why?
It will take him many posts on the Huffington Post to properly explain that
(perhaps he will be able to do one post for each word in the sentence “Why
I Left Occupy”?) but for now, he satisfies his readers with a few vague
sentiments:
I came to think that the movement was not moving in a direction that I
wanted to go; that the internal problems I’d been struggling with since I
arrived (more on this soon) were getting worse, not better and that those
problems were not isolated or incidental but were in fact coded into the
cultural and ideological foundations of the movement. Second, I suddenly
lost all appetite and energy for the work I was doing on the movement; with
very little warning, I went from indefatigable to torpid.
Could it have been the constant inhaling of street food? |
