Dumb people take to the streets! The movement is calling you. Get your tents and sleeping bags out, dust them off, and polish them up with all your disenfranchised vigor. Tell all your neighbors that you are going to protest corporate America and all the evils that it has committed. Tell them that you are sick and tired of the lies, the thievery, and the greed. When they look at you like you are stupid, just ignore them. They are not your people. Your people can be found at the local protest, practicing yoga and trying to convince the world that capitalism is to blame. After all, Michael Moore has said so. How could he be wrong?
Make sure that when you go down to the protests you bring plenty of tools necessary for a successful protest. Make large signs with clever sayings espousing your views. Bring food, water, and warm clothes. Of course, don’t forget your camera. You’ll need it to record your arrest.
When you get down there set up your little enclave and make it nice and cozy. You are going to be there for at least a day or two. Get your laptop powered up and your camera at the ready so you can make videos and live broadcasts of the ongoing events. Make sure you prove to the world that you were there and that you tried to make a difference.
Bring good pants too. You will need them. They will pad your backside as you sit and repeat whatever rhetoric your fellow hipster is spouting. They will also help when the police are kicking you in the ass.
A good protestor also knows what items to leave at home. This is actually the most important part of the Occupy movement, so don’t bring a gun to defend yourself, any form of education, or a free-thinking mind. These are not welcome and will only lead to positive results.
