What Happened to Occupy Wallstreet?

[Zoranon]

Broadway and Wall.

So in short, instead of apologising for the nonsense you typed out, you chose to continue to lie? How sad.

You insult all those who were slaves and those who still are today in the third world by your ridiculous claims.

[Elba]

They proved that peaceful protests don't accomplish anything against a corrupt system.

Want to truly change Wall Street? Have a mob of 5000 people storm the banks and stock markets, drag the bankers and brokers outside and go French revolution on them.

They won't be exploiting labor anymore after that, I tell you that.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Broadway and Wall is a real place, dude.

You claim that Broadway and Wallstreet are slave markets. Which is clearly a lie.

Is it not a home to a market in which a relatively small number of persons exploit the labor of others? Huh. Could haven fooled me.

Often I hear things about BLM protests, organized Pride events, Feminist rallies, and more, but Occupy Wall Street seems to have vanished. When I searched YouTube on the topic, the only recent uploads were seemingly old videos of Ben Shapiro and topless women protesters. Their website hasn't even posted any news since February. I often wonder if "divide and conquer" tactics were used to separate the supposed "99%" into smaller groups based on gender, sex, sexuality, race, etc for easier control by the government. Is that no more than a conspiracy or did the Occupy Wall Street just disperse because it wasn't effective or because people opted to focus in on issues that affected them more as individuals?

What do you guys think happened to Occupy Wall Street and what are your opinions of it in hindsight?

Same with most others, they realized it was pointless. They looked stupid. It got cold. They went home.

No, you are confused.

And slavery isn't a synonym with exploitation - slavery are when people are owned by others and forced to work.

Oh I see, you lie out of ignorance. Slavery means you own other humans, like property or cattle.

And leave the tired old cliche of murderers from wall street exploiting the workers in the dustbin of history where this ridiculous though belongs.

[GrinningMan]

They were harassed too; by police, people that thought it was cute, random douche bags.

Not possible. Given an equally default position, no person would choose not eating over another person eating excessively.

Just having money is already a problem. So it is not fine and dandy at all. Wealth is already predicated on exploitation. There can be no such thing as profit were it not so.

Come back from your banning, it's now! 10:38PM, 7/7/17.

Broadway and Wall.

'exploitation'. Yeah, and you'll be a card carrying member that everyone loves and hugs in the street, right?

Get a job, hippy.

[Cebel]

It was ridiculed by the big media and only documentary makers ever really did something with it. There where no real leaders of the group that is true, but it never really had a chance to begin with.

To the people who think that it is just a bunch of people wanting other peoples money i will say this. It has been proven that "trickle down economics" is as much a fantasy as Santa Claus. It wasn't about people having more money and total wealth distribution, i do not think anyone is claiming that everyone should be payed equally. But this is a strawman that is always there and people actually believe it to be the truth.
Part of the definition of slavery is a condition of having to work very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation, so by this measure anything that isn't a livable wage is slavery.

It was about lazy fucking bums not wanting to work for their money. Lets not sugar coat it. The reason they had no livable wages was they didnt work hard enough. 4 hours at cracker barrel a week isnt working hard.

Theyre fucking bums.

Lmao. Spend less time posting on these forums and you might have time to make enough money. Seems simple enough to me.

You disgust me, and I hope many others. Trying to compare wallstreet to slavery is heinous. Its like comparing trump to the nazi's. Get a fucking grip. So I can go to broadway and wall and buy this guy:


Keep spewing shit on the forums. How your garbage hasnt been banned is mind blowing. Oh yea cuz it fits mmo-champions idea of the liberal echo chamber.

Given that it's not liberal media that's the fake news, that's not surprising. I assume from your comment that you did not actually read the link you posted, though.



Anyway, the whole thing with Occupy Wall Street was that it got taken over by whiny college kids crying about how their degree in a useless field didn't magically land them a job. Yeah, there were still plenty of people protesting the real issues, but it was the most vocal group - the whiners - that started to become the brand of the movement. After that, it was easy for the billionaire class to systematically discredit and starve out the whole lot.

Plus, it was doomed to failure from the beginning. America is now built on the things Occupy was protesting - both left and right media outlets, every television network, every ISP, every publisher, every retailer, every grocery store, all of it filters down to those people. To a degree, they have more power than anyone in Washington, but only because Washington has given it to them. Protesting on Wall Street isn't David fighting Goliath, it's David fighting a black hole. Protesting on the National Mall is the only way anything is going to change.

You, sir, have swallowed an alarming amount of conservative spin. I can almost hear Fox and Friends when I read your post. I can picture Steve Doocy's furrowed brow and small nods.

For profit prison labor. Sweatshops. Exploitation through threat of starvation. Capitalism (wallstreet) is slavery.

That's the direction that things are slowly going in.
Too slow...I think things need to get out of hand sooner than later.

[Elba]

I'm trying to think of a more false statement....and it just doesn't exist. Bravo.

Explain how I am wrong.

[downnola]

Explain how I am wrong.

For starters, slavery is non-negotiable and the things you listed are. Stick with using terms like exploitation; it actually has a basis in reality.

Right, people who work 40+ hours a week should not be able to have a normal life, because, fuck them, right!? Clueless people are clueless.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

Then they got mad at the democratic party over Bernie and voted for Trump. Which pretty much means they cant show each other their own faces anymore out of disgust.

How exactly is slavery "non negotiable" and the things he listed aren't? And how exactly is this? Why is slavery non negotiable?

It seems to me that slavery is negotiable, you are able to buy your freedom if you have the money. Prison is something that actually is none negotiable.

When the fuck has that ever been the case?
The ignorance in this thread is so thick...
