Occupy UC Davis: The Power of Words

Some people claim the occupiers repetitive chants do nothing, other than to lull the chanters into mindless obedience to a directionless movement.   I think these critics underestimate the power of words.

This clip shows occupiers controlling the police using nothing but repetitive phrases.  It's a technique I learned to use with students when I was a teacher.  It makes sense that the police would be highly susceptible to it, since they are so indoctrinated and brainwashed beyond individual thought, to begin with.

Another amazing victory for the movement...
