I learned a new internet term recently: "concern troll". This kind of troll is opposed to you but pretends that their opposition comes out of wanting to help you. Sounds like all the advice the occupy movement has been getting from establishment liberals to me:
SocialistWorker.org: The strange logic of Jean Quan (http://socialistworker.org/2011/11/17/strange-logic-of-jean-quan)
"We know that we may have to remove the encampments again," she states. "This is an international movement, this is their tactic, and we want the movement to move on, literally to something different than encampments."
Why thank you for the support:rolleyes:
And then this bizzare logic from the local liberal weekly, the East Bay Express:
In that sense, last Tuesday's raid and protests may have been the best thing that could have happened to the movement — which is ironic, not least of all because, according to sources within city hall, the original raid on Occupy Oakland was motivated in part by Quan's concern that deteriorating conditions at the site might delegitimize the movement at large. In trying to protect Occupy, Quan gave it its first, biggest, and highest-profile challenge from above, which in turn imbued the movement with more power than it had before. The whole world really is watching now.So attacking the camp was part of a ploy to strengthen it!? They destroyed our village in order to save it, eh?
