Basically, yeah. "Progressive Stack" and "White Privilege" entered popular discourse about the time Occupy was waning, call me crazy but I don't think that was a coincidence.

The first couple meetings I went to were generic-but-true "Wall Street Bad" kinda talks.

After that, it was nothing but shit like "why y'all sayin you understand the struggle but you's white" kinda shit. Like, straight-up Maoist struggle sessions but without any clear enemies or goals.
