That shit was hilarious. Best reality show and best game of capture the flag that the world has ever seen

I still don't know what HWNDU was even about. All I remember was Shia Labeouf was involved.

Something about Trump, a camera, dividing "us" and a whole lotta of hilariously cringey irony between Shia and a squad of sad internet trolls.

I remember when a few investors dressed up as cliched fat cat millionaires, and stood on a Wall Street balcony with cigars and champagne doing stereotypical pompous country club laughter at them. That was hilarious.

Great idea, but it wasn't enough. There should have been a ton more civil disobedience and the like. The left needs to take a page from the right winger playbook and show up to these protests armed to the teeth.

After reading that story about the dude who fired 39 warning shots at an intruder and then needed his son to stab the intruder with a wrench I wonder how this would actually go

Americans are too spoiled to be uncomfortable for TOO long, lol. that shit was never gonna work. basically, only those with little to lose and everything to gain will put in real work, and others will just piggyback off the movement if it's successful in getting things done.

fake movements always make me laugh and sigh, though. like All Lives Matter. people of all ethnicities, genders, religions etc... were/are getting killed, abused, over prescribed, etc... but ALM ran out of sick days so had to call it quits before losing their dead end jobs, lmao. too much comfort to really give anything up.

I'm suddenly reminded of that Area 51 nonsense too, lolololol. I knew the vast majority of people who were talking the talk weren't even going to show, but a part of me wanted at least 1,000 to show up, lol. I had more people than that in my high school.

This. Occupy Wall Street needed to have actually occupied Wall Street.

Shittiest movement in the history of the US.

Now because the idea itself was bad, but because everyone that participated in it was USELESS.

They achieved fuck all.

is that when all of those unemployed losers trashed a ton of local businesses and paved the streets with trash and shit?

I remember the antisemitism from them.

Just like the 911 mosque, it only became a important discussion during election time and everyone forgot about it once that was over.

---

Should have stormed the Bastille instead of standing in the streets.
