Isn’t it fascinating that so many on the “left” and “right” both see the same thing?

I often said if you ignored the media characterization of idiots in the streets that most people here on FR agreed with the premise of Occupy Wall Street. Same thing for the TEA party which was quickly marginalized and dismissed by the elites.

They were both roots of the same tree that the globalist quickly chopped down.

__________

Not for nothing, but the deep staters/globalists took their sweet, sweet time laying their axe to the root of that particular tree, leaving distinctly open and reasonable the potential inference that, in that instance at least, the protesters were doing the bidding of the deep staters/globalists, rather than opposing their designs

Not this guy. At its core, Occupy Wall Street was fundamentally anti-capitalist. That was the one unifying principle it had. They wanted a more powerful government that would seize assets and redistribute them to people or causes they deemed worthy. And there's no way in hell I was anywhere close to being in agreement with that.

Yes, it’s interesting that lefties like Tulsi Gabbard, Glenn Greenwald, and others (Brand?) see this threat, as do conservatives and libertarians, but the Establishment neocons and progressives somehow don’t.
