Movements

As a movement grows in popularity capitalist profiteers will move in for the purpsoses of pure profit. They will exploit the fashions, symbols, accrements and accessories for their own gain, and when profits diminish they will disapear faster than a 20 dollar bill lying in the street. Some of the profiteering will be for the purpose of, or will have the affect of political purposes, as a means of diluting the movement from content to superfical fashion, where content is in conflict and a threat to commercial and other establishment interests. It has become standard practice of the establishment, to co-opt movements, for their own purposes, such as by identification with or by embracing those leaders that are more superfical, in order to popularize and sell themselves for what profit they can gain, even though this may be anthema to them.

The size of the movement depends on the appeal and the broadness of the ideas and ideals, or of the superficial aspects. Generally the the greater popularity will accord to a greater degree of superificallity. The movement will also be affected by the degree to which it is in conflict with the establishment and the degree to which the establishment may want to and can stifle it. In this day of corporate media, to the extent that the movement is in conflict and is a threat to the establishment, to the greater extent it will be ignored by the media in general. If it becomes too popular to ignore, generally two tactics will be employed. The movement will be demonized, emphasizing as little as possible its content, but concentrating upon its superficial aspects, and making up complete and whole fabrications and lies. If some members of the movement or someone that can associated with it commits a crime, especially a serious one, the media will attempt to make these criminals symbols for the movement in general. The other tactic will be to capitalize and make a profit on it, by glorifying its superficial aspects and pushing that for economic purposes. Movements who use for leaders rich people, as muscians, successful writers and poets, not always but in general members of the upper classes, because they have the greatest means of promotion and influence, are doomed to failure. Money, success or security will almost always be their first loyality and not the movement.

When movements are political in nature these will be spied upon and infiltrated by various agencies of the establishment.
