An open space for global conversation
I would like to know what other area's are doing in regards to 'smaller groups' (75 or less) as far as group dynamics and educating the group on those issues? We have had a bit of a disturbance in that some of the members want to break off on their own, people being uncivil to each other but no 'one' to call them out on that because then the 'leaderless' aspect comes in to play. Obviously, "You're not the boss of me" type attitude. Also, drug usage among people "camping". Has anyone had to deal with how to accept or reject that behavior?
I have noticed the ages of the cooler heads but the younger people see the older of the 99% as part of the problem. They want change as much as we do but you have to give them credit on the issues of Occupy not being an organization but an organic movement (an organism if you will). They don't see facilitators and moderators as needing experience of age to be effective, but they can't see the A.D.D. from the inside looking out. My opinon. They/We/All need direction on how to do this not based on any prior knowledge of how to do this! And please don't use civil disobedience in a reply....it's annoying to me to have a set of 'rules' of how to be disobedient, I do believe in being non-violent, using diplomacy, and having some tact.
