A year late, I thought of the perfect analogy to describe Occupy's impotence:
Occupy is the cargo cult of social movements. They're a functionless imitation built without any understanding of how the real thing works, like an airplane made of bamboo and palm fronds tied together with vines.
The good news is that they may have finally gotten their act together this year, in the few cities where they haven't given up completely. The bad news is that the public no longer cares.
