Occupy Wall Street famously had no clear set of demands
No, that’s what billionaire owned media told people too ignorant to realize they weren’t on our side by 2011…

Just because you’re still ignorant of their goals 15 years later, doesn’t mean their goals didn’t exist.
Just that you’ve never even taken the two minutes to check…
That’s crossing the line into willfull ignorance

You don’t have to look far that same Wikipedia article to see an entire large section on the exact criticism I raised, coupled with a large body of evidence behind it? Check your own ignorance. Occupy had goals but they had like 50 of them and they were poorly coordinated in protests, slogans, and to the media - which is why they had very limited success enacting meaningful change.
