    Don’t let it get co-opted by identity politics and agent provacteurs who only want to create division and destroy it.

      Let’s not take our analysis from ancaps please. They are not anarchists, not leftists, and the only problem they have with banks is that they’re too regulated.

      Also, they were ignorant enough to become ancaps, which should also disqualify them if their aims weren’t already so abhorrent.

        If you never listen to anyone outside your ideological bubble, you’re in for a dangerous time.

        I meant to link to the video inside that thread of an OWS rally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCwhlZtHhWs

          So one person said some stuff that sounds dumb without context. Wow, what a powerful illustration of how badly you want to blame identity politics.

            It wasn’t one person, it was the entire group, and everyone went along with it. That directive came from leadership.

              So great how your single video clearly demonstrates that all of that is true and also how it totally led to the failure of OWS. What an airtight argument.

                Unplug your eyes and ears comrade.

                  Let me know if you ever come up with an argument that’s more than “this person sounds dumb I reckon”. This was it. This was your chance to let me hear something outside my bubble, and you said almost nothing. So far I’ve found the experience to be deeply, tragically unconvincing.

      You linked to a subreddit that links to a 4chan image of someone explicitly saying women and minorities ruined OWS. Who even are you, dude?

        I think they would call themselves a “glowie” if they saw this behaviour from the other side, but they’re probably just a bigot. They argue like a bigot, like everything they say is self-evidently true, because that’s how their thinking process works. If it confirms their preconceptions, it must be true.
