Civil war of right vs left will achieve nothing but bloodshed, but the 99% vs the 1% has legs.
Violence is not necessary. Occupy wall street was surprisingly effective. The Hong Kong umbrella movement was derailed more by covid than anything else.
...what change did Occupy effect?
Powered by youthful exuberance, Occupy not only roused a spirit of protest, but also helped create a template for peaceful resistance that could include equal measures of social media and old-fashioned physical presence.
In my opinion, it exposed an achilles heel in the current power structure. The 1% do not like being the scapegoat for public anger.
Occupy made Tim pool a lot of money anyways.
