    Occupy died because of “terminally online bullshit”? I guess that terminally online bullshit is either more effective than what you’re suggesting or your analysis sucks.

      One whole paragraph followed by a comment like that implies someone is usually talking about the whole episode going on and not just the keywords you singled out.

        I still don’t get why you think occupy died, but regardless it wasn’t because of online shit or coopted lingo.

        I’ve bumped into a bunch of you online socialists before and every one of you thinks your efforts made some profound difference when in reality socialism is still a nothing nowhere movement in the US and we get more fascist every election cycle.

          And whose fault is that? When you give your vote away for free you get rightward drift. Make the fuckers earn it instead of leaving the switch on Vote Blue No Matter Who like the good little liberal you are.
