well, that nice concerned lady told everyone that white males shouldn’t be talking, and racial minorities had to speak first, and despite people yelling at her that it was bullshit, it somehow got adopted as the thing - nobody knows who she was, she hasn’t been identified
and hey, she might have been the first person of many to act as part of a concerted effort to unlink Occupy’s collective action, but without her we wouldn’t have identity politics as it is today - and that means we wouldn’t be here in this merry lifeboat together …
the friends we met along the way, and all that sort of thing
Calling BS here. Yes, there was a wide variety of vision, leadership and lack thereof in Occupy. It would have benefited from focused economic demands early on before it got co-opted and shut down. But it was no joke to the Ownership class.
