Yet even with such unfocused goals, the OWS Movement (reportedly) has the support of the majority of Americans. I think that in the minds of many Americans, OWS has become representative of every evil that we associate with crooked bankers and corrupt politicians. Even more so, I think that somehow, the movement is the embodiment of the overwhelming vulnerability and powerlessness that Americans are feeling today for countless different reasons. Perhaps the success of OWS is BECAUSE of the fact that it has not been able to clearly state its goals. This allows an otherwise inchoate movement to take on the form of every ill and evil that each American senses in a nation that has begun to seem like a hostile environment since 2007.
