even though i am invested in meme stocks, there is no politics or systemic change being put forward yet, so it's nothing like OWS. i see some people on YT and reddit get close to making some kind of point about capitalism but ultimately they never go anywhere with it because they are very likely 20 year old political neophytes or middle aged libertarians

What was the largest sustained organized protest in recent memory before Occupy though?

While it didn't directly change anything materially, I don't see how people can view it as a total failure. I'd argue the 2018 midterms and string of freshmen congress members owe some of the momentum of the Blue Wave to Occupy.

The left still isn’t strong, but it definitely is more alive than before Occupy. You don’t get Bernard’s presidential runs without Occupy.

Biden out here talking about raising taxes on the wealthy don’t happen if not that day, and you got people demanding changes to the financial order.

But obviously more work needs to be done. Occupy is just a foundation.
The left is wild p*ssy.

the right got no shame with their bullshyt and push for what they want(and get it). While the left worries about offending the right.

The left gets infiltrated and destroyed by the FBI and while the right can storm the US Capitol and face little consequences.

It just shows that America is a right wing country by nature. In its history there has never been any left movements as robust and rigorous as the ones outside of America. The Civil War was prolly the closest thing to a left leaning revolution in America and it was an incomplete one by the standard metric.
