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.
I don’t think it was an op. I think it was genuine. It was ultimately violently suppressed after all.
TrueAnon 324 deals with this explicitly. What was missing from occupy was leadership, specifically, a vanguard with a plan. If it were to happen again today I am not sure the outcome would be any different.

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”.
Unless you have formed a Marxist vanguard you haven’t “learned lessons” enough
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.
If it was we opped ourselves by having giant leaderless meetings that went nowhere and insisting on “horizontal structure” everywhere
nah this is literally just some guy affixing labels to himself
Porque no los dos?
