This hypermasculinity, I expect, is its primary appeal. It taps into the lust that lurks within us to destroy, not only things but human beings. It offers the godlike power that comes with mob violence. Marching as a uniformed mass, all dressed in black to become part of an anonymous bloc, faces covered, temporarily overcomes alienation, feelings of inadequacy, powerlessness and loneliness<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Funny, but of all of the pictures I&#8217;ve seen from OWS protesters confronting the police, crapping on police cars, crapping on sidewalks, throwing bricks at cops, defacing public and private property, none of them have been dressed in black. Like <a href=\"http:\/\/galleries.statesman.com\/gallery\/occupy-austin-eviction-020312\/\">the picture above<\/a> of Austin police trying to apprehend a female protester when they tossed out Occupy protesters in the Texas capital. Look at the people who are getting in the faces of police in the video of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28629\">the cleanup in McPherson Square in DC<\/a> this weekend. How many of them are wearing the black uniform of the Black Bloc?<\/p>\n<p>Um, none-to-few. The cancer in the occupy movement is the intellectual vacuum of the entire movement which attracts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28611\">criminals and liars<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28550\">the score<\/a>.
