After the war ended, these foreigners left, and so did all of their goodies. Not wanting to interrupt this gravy train, the natives would ape the behaviors of those foreigners in hopes of making the magic planes arrive again. They would build bamboo 'control towers,' clear rudimentary, crude 'landing strips' out of the jungle, and talk into crude 'microphones', hoping that this behavior would entice the goodies to reappear, but in reality they had absolutely no understanding of the actual nature of where all these goodies came from. They had to assume it came from out of the sky, (presumably from the 'gods' ). These cults persisted in mimicking these behaviors for years and in some cases decades after the shipments ended.
And the ‘Occupy’ fools are stupidly doing the exact same thing as these ignorant Pacific island natives: they are completely devoid of any understanding of how the Tea Party resonated with voters. Specifically, the Occupy mobs are unaware that the Tea Party had rock solid principles that it rallied around: less government spending, less confiscatory taxation, smaller government and adherence to the Constitution of the United States.
The occupy mobs have only their ‘rock solid’ principles of: lay in bed until noon, smoke marijuana until their throats are sore, and demand that money be provided to them in perpetuity to further their slovenly lifestyles. These are principles that are held by only a small handful of stupid hippies, of whom all pay homage to their spiritual leaders Cheech and Chong, and this worst type of sloth will never, ever gain any support from the voting public whatsoever.And yet these idiots continue to ape the Tea Party, and expect the same manner of change, but it will never come. Just like those cargo cult Pacific Islanders continue to wait by their crude landing strips and man their bamboo control towers, hoping that their efforts will entice the goodies from the skies to appear again, as it did in the good old days.

Great post!
It is also a great comparison that was put into words better than I ever could have.
Admiral:
The concept was actually first applied to my knowledge in 2004 by Dan Jacoby when he referred to G.W. Bush as a 'Cargo Cult President,' aping Reagan, but I thought this concept is spot on with this mob as well.
I think they are actually aping the 60's protests, which were aping really important protests against real fascism in Europe and Latin America.
I guess the OWS leftists are just apes...
Silver:
OWS and apes: I suppose if you blindfold me and put an OWS hippie and an ape in front of me, I couldn't smell the difference...;-)
