Everybody needs a place for their For those who do not follow my twitter feed (which for your sake hopefully means you, in this instance), the previous post was in response to the #OWS discussion going on there today.
I still support & root for OWS as much as ever, but sometimes these discussions of its inclusiveness remind me of Chris Rock’s lament about hip-hop: “I love it, but some of y’all make it hard to defend it.”
Addendum: The guy’s response to the MLK quote is “so you think I’m against direct action??” You can’t make this stuff up.

Trying to wade through your feed for a good starting point on the discussion when I stumbled upon that guy telling you to “keep up.” Can we ban that phrase from internet debates forever, please?

there is nothing wrong with agreeing with the basic ideals of the OWS movement while still being critical of it. however, some people have an “all or nothing” approach. things don’t work that way.
