I just don't think you get to 2025 in the US with people openly and nakedly questioning capitalism with 2/3 of younger Americans supporting socialism without occupy. I'm also aware Occupy didnt come out of a vacuum but it was an inflection point.

I've listened to several podcasts and read several articles on why people are souring on capitalism and they all don't mention Occupy which is weird to me because of nothing else they mainstreamed a lot of the language we use today. And it was a genuinely big deal at the time.

I originally wrote that one man also resigned from MIT faculty because of Epstein but I was wrong: he was forced to resign *because he defended Epstein.*

Perhaps black voters remembered this stunt.
