"Just in my lifetime I've seen so many major protest movements: pro-Palestine, BLM, the pussy hat thing, Cop City, kids protests against climate change and gun violence, occupy wallstreet, Ferguson protests, anti-Iraq war, anti-2000s election steal.... Not a single one did *anything*."
"Millennials stormed Wall Street and started a global movement demanding economic justice. Gen Z is apparently dominated by bootlickers of billionaires, whose idea of transgression is saying naughty words and having kids."
"Not just wishful thinking. The outrage is everywhere teeming below the surface. When the conditions are bad enough the fire will erupt one way or the other."
"Occupy wall street: didnt do shit"
"Like all the broke millenials I know really just made retarted decisions about what to major in. Girls wouldn't look twice at you if you were doing engineering or finance (aftermath of Occupy Wallstreet, etc...) GenZ seems to be way better about this though."
"When was the last protests you remember that accomplished anything? Occupy? Could've been the biggest political movement of the 21st century but is now so distant it seems like it might as well have happened in 1911 instead of 2011."
"The NYPD evicted me on November 15th, 2011, along with the entirety of Occupy Wall Street. After spending the night on a Manhattan sidewalk surrounded by cops, I went to several other protests that day before talking to other Occupiers to find a place to crash that night."
"Occupy Wall Street was ideologically poisoned from the beginning, and everyone who pretends it was a class movement is looking back through rose-colored glasses."

"Just seemed like a more successful Occupy Wall Street at the end."
