Occupy Wall Street was largely a failure, forgotten by history.

It wasn't forgotten by the banksters.

They immediately created "identity politics" to divide and conquer the unified pubic.

Prior to this, it was uncommon for people to say retarded statements like, "As a _______, I blah blah blah."

It's still stupid. Identifying as a political group is foolish. Everyone is an individual.

Act in your own ethical self interest, and things will average out.

Exactly the comment I was expecting. People don't realize identity politics was largely driven by occupy.

Now the banksters wave the gay flag and have all the support from the useful idiots they could ever want

You are wrong about occupy being driven by identity polotics. It was destroyed by identity politics. That was the subversion strategy wallstreet used to divide and conquer them. It wasn't until well into the protest that it started to creep in. That is when people started getting on the megaphones and preached social justice and demanded "reparations" and special considerations for their opressed group.

So you're saying I shouldn't hate trannies and gays who shove their lifestyle down my throat just because it's a purposely divisive tactic the banksters or whoever-the-fuck created?
