In reply to the discussion: OWS: "began in a particular place, sputtered and subsided, only to re-emerge elsewhere" [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)1. This matches a lot of my observations at Occupy San Diego
they are still around... but except for us silly independent media, mostly nobody mentions them.
Women Occupy San Diego is literally picking a fight with City Hall, over police oversight. I cover this shit, but it is amazing how much of the local media ignores them, even when they show up with their old tattered t-shirts.
Mark my words, they will do the same with BLM, or any other movement, that for a myriad of reasons, challenges the center.
Oh and the leftward turn is real.
Thanks

Occupy lives on. I love it. Ideals should outweigh labels and organization affiliations.

Your name-calling doesn't bother me at all. My party has looked down on me since 2003.
