Dartmouth student explains OWS psychology (hint, it involves monkeys)
We don’t know if Will Duncan at Dartmouth is a Psych Major, but he seems to have nailed this one:
I know that the Occupy Wall Street issue is about as relevant to the country as President Kim’s presence on campus is relative to student life, but this video sheds light on an Occupier’s thinking. Despite the fact that “those at the 34th percentile of income in the United States are at the 90th percentile globally,” Occupy members ignore this reasoning and instead behave like these monkeys.
Although this clip helps practical people understand the thought process of typical Occupy hipster, it certainly does not justify their actions….

I hope this Will Duncan has both a sense of humor and pretty thick skin; he’s about to get called nineteen different kinds of racist for saying the OWS mentality can be analogized by monkeys…
Not that it makes him wrong.
I wonder what he may have said following his comment. It’s not clear to me if he is being critical or not. For example, could his point be that the monkeys understand that for performing the same task their rewards should be equal? That certainly has an OWS feeling to it.
But certainly the irate reaction from the cucumber monkey is a hoot.
Correction. It is “speciesist” to compare OWS and monkeys.
And I expect the author to visit the nearist zoo and apologize to the monkeys.
They forgot to mention that monkeys routinely throw their feces — and also seem to have forgotten that Elizabeth Warren’s #Occupy monkeys have routinely done the same.
