Why did we go from OCCUPY WALL STREET to TRANSDISTURBIA.?

Remember that period 2011 to 2015?

Who else thinks this was all planned? The movement of economic reckoning was overwhelmed by identity politics, which leads to the mess we have today.

The identity movements effectively divided the Left, which in turn dispersed the power of unity against the Actual Enemy: corporate and governmental abusers of power.

It was indeed intentional.

Omg — I remember participating in Occupy with a friend from work.

We both got interviewed by local reporters & actually ended up on TV.

Made all kinds of cool, new friends.

So much fun.

Thanks for bringing it up, OP. It was good to be alive & I’m glad I experienced it.

We could compare it to how the civil rights movements was at least partially if not chiefly brought down by drugs and sex/rock and roll.

All this dumb bullshit that scrambles your thoughts is the product of Right Wing PsyOps and it was definitely put out into social media for the purpose of breaking up the opposition. Now rather than opposing the tyrannical billionaires and predatory corporations, we’re defending Drag Queen story time and the extreme TIQUA+ with 759 different gender categories, fighting about straight men in lipstick and wigs using girls’ restrooms, and attending PRIDE events that could give two fucks about gay men but are sponsored by mega corporations with their logo as rainbow flag.

Most younger Americans have huge egos and believe they’ll brilliantly, easily become billionaires.

Exactly OP!!!

It was planned, OP. Billionaires and multimillionaires (straight and white gay men) are behind it.

Because Americans are the dumbest cunts on the planet.

TPTB could see people wanted something to be pissed, they didn’t want it to be them so they provided ancillary fodder.

American don't care. All they care about is their cell phones.

That would be a fine question for your court-ordered therapist, OP.
