    Was Occupy Wall Street the most successful op of the 21st century? Took all the anger from people losing their homes, jobs and the global economy being crashed, and channeled it into a bunch of stuff like this.

        Yep. If I bring up that occupy 2.0 in 2024 would be functionally identical to 1.0 in 2008 you get a bunch of street protester types saying “no it’s much different now we learned lessons”.

        doubt

        Unless you have formed a Marxist vanguard you haven’t “learned lessons” enough

          Historically proven by over century of succdems making the exact same mistakes and ignoring all the previous succdems making the same mistakes. It’s almost like they are some kind of judas goats leading baby leftists to imperialist slaughter.

      You can tell it wasn’t an op because rich people legit threw champagne on the protesters like it was the French Revolution or some shit. You know, like how they actually want to behave. Yeah lots of libs, but I’m sure it radicalized many.
