It seems to me that the elite are learning more from 1984 than the masses. And that won't be good for the masses...

It is extremely close to this book honestly and it's shocking how little of the "common" public seems to realize it. The biggest problem I see with the Occupy movements is that no matter how much they picket, protest, and "occupy" multiple locations, the people who need to be educated - the American public - do not care. They may be directly affected by all the things you are shouting, or none, but they will not rally to your cause.
So, in my opinion, it's a waste of time.
