Some of you may be wondering: “what’s all this Occupy Wall Street god-damn hippy mumbo jumbo?! Is that the same as all those rowdy Tea partyers?  What in tarnation is going on in American politics? *gasp* Commies!!”

Well, you wouldn’t be the only one in the dark about these political movements.  From people I’ve talked to (granted, mostly college students) most don’t really have a clear idea of these movements’ specific purposes either.

Those who do, however, seem pretty riled up. Protesters come from a variety of different backgrounds and have an even wider variety of reasons propelling them.

Both of these movements have been widely criticized for their ambiguity.  So it isn’t purely the corruptness of the media that’s to blame for people’s ignorance of these issues…    [via]
