As far as I know I'm the only person to do a human-subjects approved ethnography of an #Occupy camp in the US. I spent a month researching the two camps in Portland, Oregon, the largest and longest running outside of NYC.
I can tell you right now this is different.

Americans are furious over health care. Is this an Occupy Wall Street moment?
The public outrage unleashed by the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO echoes the anti-banking fury after the financial crisis and comes as populist economic fatigue helped re-elect Donald Trump.

Some people will tell you it's "too radical" or "too extreme" to say capitalism relies on hurting workers.
But what about when a millionaire CEO says it?
That's exactly what Tim Gurner said when he advocated for more unemployment and more economic pain.

Today's newsletter has a simple message: Elon Musk is a dangerous nation-state-level actor using his massive wealth and power to influence elections, wars, and markets. We must nationalize SpaceX and Starlink and put a stop to billionaire despots.

I hate this headline, because it dishonestly portrays the subject as having changed, when what really happened was reporters & editors went along with a heroic self-mythology rather than performing scrutiny and now realize what a mistake that was, w/o owning up to it.
