Obama didn’t need to break the occupy wall street moment. That moment was so unorganized that it broke itself.
The media had their role in it too by setting a ‘tone’ for the whole thing by treating it like a joke from the start and being sure to always interview the kookiest of people whenever they’d visit one of the encampments. Alternatively, conservative outlets like Fox would paint the protestors like a bunch of entitled freeloaders who just wanted to cause problems.
That clip of the wall street tycoons drinking champagne and laughing at the protesters.
They weren’t Wall Street tycoons. They were just people attending a wedding.
Why does this misinformation keep spreading?
I think that’s because leftist movements with leaders get Fred Hampton’d.
The amount of figures within OWS and BLM that died under strange circumstances is pretty not comforting knowing the organizations who do things like that have near impunity and control of information.
Any sources on the many deaths under strange circumstances?
Feels like the false stories you hear about people that opened tutenchamuns grave.
Occupy had no central leadership and nobody on earth seems to be able to accept orgs like that. Seems we’ve been conditioned to believe that everything must be run in a hierarchy.
Absolutely. Decades of “heros journey” formatted TV and movies does that.
Yeah, sure, that’s why they had the police beat up protesters and journalists.
If they were organized enough you’d just have a pile of dead cops when it was over
