    Do you remember the 99% versus the 1% protests?

    Occupy Wall Street–2011 protest in New York against wealth inequality

    It is just a continuation, owner-class versus the working class.

      What’s interesting is that I remember, supported, and know folks who participated in those protests…

      None of them said what you say nor sounded as dumb as you do.

      It’s weird knowing and interacting with that element while hearing you say dumb shit like this…

      Like having an anarchists library on hand didn’t mean I had to deal with this level of dumb…

        Thanks for your insights and your nice words.

        People can be a part of something without aligning 100% with the movement, that is just being a follower, not a leader.

        I question your experiences, but I will not push back on them.

          I appreciate the civility. Though, I hope you eventually realize how much your own words are part of “the movement” against you.

          You can worry about my “experience” all you want but at some point you should understand how little your “experience” means. Other voices have a place… consider them!

              “Status quo” is in your head.

              “The point” on the other hand…

                I understand what you are point out.

                I will continue to learn and talk with those that do not agree with me and those that do.
