The focus of the protests will probably become more clear as it progresses but the way I see it is that people are pointing out that what we're doing is totally unsustainable in a number of ways here.
Most of the people who want everything handed to them are largely at home collecting government checks probably hoping this all blows over. |
To me they're making a message -- like you say, waking people out of complacency; a message that things need to change, they're not sustainable, they're not right like this.
The message is very generalised and focused on a thousand different things, but that's the underlying meaning that comes through.
And I think that's a message worth spreading. I think it's very important that this is happening right now.
