Occuppy Wall Street docs declassifed

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, in a groundbreaking scoop that should once more shame major US media outlets (why are nonprofits now some of the only entities in America left breaking major civil liberties news?), filed this request. The document – reproduced here in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council. And it reveals this merged entity to have one centrally planned, locally executed mission. The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens.

I feel like there could have been a lot of legitimate criticisms to make of wallstreet and income inequality and capitalism, but the occupy movement was wholly ineffective because of divisions internally, extreme leftism/feminism poisoning the movement, etc.

the right likes to use the term ``optics'' to describe protestor appearance and public perception of a movement

occupy wallstreet had very bad optics, and it was also subverted by SJWs

don't go to a protest if you're ugly or unable to speak well when someone asks you about your beliefs
don't go to a protest if you're not good at debate
