Tea Party became MAGA.

Occupy Wall Street became AntiFa, Bend the Arc, and DEI hires for corporate America (ranging from Lockheed Martin to JP Morgan) besides the typical career path like campaign staff for RFK junior and Birdbrain Biden.

Benz doesn’t mention it, but Occupy Wall Street was probably the establishment’s first ‘oh shit’ moment regarding the politically disruptive potential of social media. It came out of nowhere, within no time at all it was everywhere, and it brought together a broad spectrum of malcontents across traditional ideological boundaries. Occupy is left-coded now, so people forget that in its gestational phase tankies and anarcho-syndicalists were marching alongside End-the-Fed Ron Paulists and techno-libertarians, all of them united against the extractive criminality of Wall Street and its cozy, too-big-to-fail relationship with FedGov. The Regime put the uprising down in short order, and then opportunistically hijacked the movement’s cultural momentum to inject Woke into the everyone’s veins. That said, it should not be ruled out that Occupy was not spontaneous: it’s possible that it was a 5GW op from the beginning, intended to harness popular outrage against the bailouts following the real estate implosions, and direct it towards popularization of the race communism that took over the West over the past decade.

Yep. Basically Mykeru's law. The moment the public saw pictures of camps dominated by Drum circles, Anarcho-Feminist Teach Ins, Hackey Sack kicking, and signs supporting the Revolutionary Committee for the Spartacus League, they lost all interest.

That's why the "news" media showed those pictures, exclusively.

If they didn't exist naturally, they would have been hired by the intelligence agencies for photo shoots of them being there. Every movement is infiltrated and our "news" system is part of that infiltration.

Don't you realize our media is just propaganda? "Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy!" "300,000 dead from coronavirus, stay home and stay safe. Get your vaccine". "Putin invaded Ukraine for no reason at all" "Assad is gassing his own people" Qaddafi is about to cause a humanitarian crisis". "Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation".

It's been this way forever. They tried to stop the anti-war movement of Vietnam by associating it with a bunch of stinking, drug addled hippies. They weren't trying to help, but sentiment against that stupid war was so large, it was embraced instead. Nobody really liked the hippies, saw them as stupid worthless kids, mostly low level criminals and scum - still the war was worse.
