Why Occupy Wall Street Failed 10 Years Ago | Rise And Fall
Occupy Wallstreet died because the attention was shifted from rich vs poor to racism
One hundred percent true.
Nobody sees it but a few people and it's madness to me. Ive been going nuts for since the bailout.
They manipulated the population to attack each other instead of their real oppressors. It was so easy it’s sad.
That’s not true. It died because the people had no agenda, no leadership and didn’t shift effectively into politics and policy. Bernie Sanders losing in a rigged election also killed the movement.
and to prove this even in this very own video 4:25 they trying to highlight the race instead the issue that hangs above everyone.
This serves as a lesson that successful causes or organizations need a consolidated strategy and form of leadership. In the end, it became just a bigger form of public ranting.
Actually it was only one event in a much bigger project that I started in 2003 after I looked up why pot was illegal and was horrified by what I discovered. I have had a long string of successes and setbacks. For example I coached the TEA Party into existence only to see the Koch brothers take it away from me. I spent most of 2005 talking the BDS protesters into becoming the BDS movement then I moved on to the Arab Spring. I told everyone I had a plan to end war globally. It was based on the freedom of religion and the First amendment. A lot of people over the years have taken me seriously. Anyway, Occupy Wall Street wouldn't have happened without my leadership. I do know how to do events.
@@kindGSL thank you for your bravery and for your service! Passive viewers have no idea the towering powers dedicated to crush movements like this! “Lack of leadership” is a cheap way to ignore the unrelenting power the 1% has acquired in the past 50 years! If they want to see what happens to public leaders of movements just ask Martin Luther king, Fred Hampton and Malcom-X! I hope there are more ppl like you and I hope we don’t lose hope. If I can ask you a question, do you feel like we’re at a tipping point right now?
Leadership means an easy way to kill a movement. Kill a leader, the organization devolves.
@@warweasel2832 thats why there are things called hierarchies so that if the leader goes there is a chain of succession
Which is why America needs a vanguard party
Don’t expect the “Business Insider” to tell the truth about those protesting business as usual.
Agreed 1000%.
Yeah well, BI definitely has an interest in controlling the narrative. And don't they wrap the whole matter of those pesky Occupy protests in a nice bow at the end. "There will always be an Occupy Movement." Yeah but...
@@TTM9691 I cannot believe these f ers have the gaul to blame the vulnerable for the disruption of the movement. They show literal police brutality and then say "They weren't organized properly" . These people follow a morality of might = right. Money = right. Why not look at the evil of the fed rather than condescend against the protest.
well said, pls keep saying it
Why don’t you call up Robert Reich and make your own video about it, then
I remember this happening the year I graduated high school, It's only gotten worse since that time.
It's because of identity politics were being introduced to the masses so the elite stopped being the center of attention. Really smart move if you ask me.
Same with me. Just as I started Uni. I remember it clearly. And all those who said "in ten years there will be no middle class"
@@jesseleeward2359 And they were right
The thing was, the protestors were very clear about what they were against, but there was no message about what they were for. I suspect even their leadership was divided about what they would like to see replace the U.S. system of government and business. Was it a gentler alternative like in Canada, Australia and most northern and western European countries, or a more Marxist oriented system, or something different to either of those? Nobody knew what they were advocating and without even a rough outline of policies, ordinary people just saw the protestors as a bunch of spoilt and entitled urban kids from well off families disrespecting the authorities that made their country safe.
They were clear as f about the policies even had them on signs. Removing corporate lobbying from politics, higher "effective" corporate tax rate, environmental protectionism and god knows how many others that would reduce the rate at which wealth inequality and pollution is bringing us towards a socially stratified society comparable to neo feudalism.
The issues were as addressed in the video, no allies in institutions capable of working upon the on the ground activism, disorganisation in leadership roles and minimal outspread of activism outside the area in Wall Street.
@@lyca0n535 that was exactly the problem too many "wants" they couldn't stick to one demand and make it happen that's the issue, and that's why it's as easy to dismiss, for the gov to make a change you need unified public opinion a one clear message or it's won't work the masses are easy to distract and crumble when you have many voices at once
@@drissalaoui103 Hi, thanks for your concern, since the event was my idea I can address it. The event was modeled after a Girl Scout Junior Jamboree, it was meant to be an activist training event. At the time this was happening Ralph Nader made your exact argument. He wanted EVERYONE to march on DC and demand [I think] a higher minimum wage.
My event was a smashing success, his never happened. Why do you think that is? I can tell you why, because at my event everyone was told to protest what THEY felt most strongly about. This was a deliberate ploy on my part in order to get people personally involved and empowered. You don't realize how empowering protesting is is until you experience it. Doing what the self ordained leader tells you to do is not empowering.
We could not pick one demand because we do not have one demand and that was not the point anyway. The point was for us to figure out what we all wanted and do it together. That is not going to happen in one meeting or one weekend or even one year. It is a big, long term project.
@@lyca0n535 neofeudalism ? Careful with the words you throw around, gives the impression that you dont know anything about history.
@@lyca0n535 Neo feudalism? Will the neo-nobility mobilize the neo-peasantry to wage neo-war on the state of neo-Bohemia? Will a class of neo-merchants undermine the morals of the neo-medieval era by committing neo-usury to the great dismay of the Neo-Pope? Will Neo-Chivalric orders bring devestation to the countryside as knights switch horses for stealth bombers? Neo feudalism makes you sound both pretentious and uneducated at the same time. Please just say "If it continues like this everyone except the rich will get it worse." and you'll actually have a point.
Whenever I see something about a protest movement that did not succeed in the way they wish, I remember the quote "I do not protest with the expectation I will change the government, I protest so the government does not change me". Even if Occupy did fail, it was still a massive show that people are not going to sit back while governments introduce tax breaks for the rich and austerity for the poor. The fact that people were willing to say no, this is not right and things must change is beautiful and a victory in its own right
where was Barrack "sell us out" Obama, Sen Sanders, Reps Paul & Grayson?
Burying the initial report and recommendation after the historical Fed Reserve Audit?
Now it only exists in the Public Domain on the. GOA's website as ~ 300 pages of financial techese.
I, and many world-wide were very motivated by the plain and clear English ORIGINAL report that lit the fuses of many.
That's super corny lmao.
It failed because it's Cornballs running these things couldn't run a race if it was a straight line
It didn't fail, it morphed into the Sanders campaign.
@@kindGSL why wasn't the sell-out cuck leading OWS?
He, Paul, and Grayson lit the fuse.
He wasn't there, then twice
bent over for the establishment... now he has a seat in that same establishment.
My God, after occupy wall street everything is going worse
The short short overly simplified answer is; because we continue to buy iPhones.
As long as you’re supporting the super wealthy by supporting the companies whose stocks they own, they could care less about your protesting. If you imagine half the protestors have an iPhone, the other half have Samsung and they all use either Verizon or AT&T, and drove to the rally in their Ford or GM product, filled with oil, that they financed with big bank lending “products.” And you wonder why the rich don’t care what you think. Protestors complain, but they’re still paying the Uber wealthy’s salaries.
Phones and transport are a necessity even for poor people. It’s irrelevant that they have iphones and use uber, but things like allowing stock buy backs could be more prevented. Wages could be better regulated.
so basically be a hunter gatherer and dont buy nothing
@@ziintle Monitored phones and public transportation. Does that make you happy? Government is the problem!
The gap between the rich and poor nowadays is so bad. Regular people can’t even afford houses anymore like back in our grandparents days. Well at least here in Los Angeles. Houses are unaffordable now and it’s ridiculous.
Why is it ridiculous? Californians vote for it themselves.
You voted that kind of policy. I don't feel really that bad for you.
They are at the wrong place. They should have went to the Federal reserve, the White house and Congress
bingo! Been saying that forever.
you know these big banks control over 50 trillion in assets right?
Wall Street controls the Federal reserve the White House and Congress
Lmfaoo
@@doom1894 so, you think you can challenge Wall Street when they control the government that owns all the guns, the courts, and the social institutions? Wall street can only be destroyed by a movement of people who take back their government.
Nope, Wall Street and capitalism is the main culprit, not necessarily the government.
“Keep moving guys or you might get arrested for standing in your own country”
Think it had more to do with blocking the walk/road ways for normal people who had lives to attend to
Their cause was divided by identity politics and hyper focusing on social issues.
@@ivangarcia1327 During occupy the rich started to get really nervous. Finally people from all sides of the isle were coming together and saying enough is enough. So the rich and powerful needed a way to get the heat off their back. Best way to do that is divide the people into as many groups as possible. Then convince certain groups they are oppressed by other groups. Once the people started doing it to themselves it was over and the rich won. We are now divided by race, religion, political affiliation, sex, sexual preferences, etc, etc…..the list goes on and on. They also found a way to make being a victim trendy. It’s just a really sophisticated psychological game against the masses so they hyper focus on social issues with little to no importance, while the rich and powerful continue to screw the masses.
Yeah, and who wins as a result of luxury distractions like Trans rights, identity politics, CRT, etc. The rich.
That's what leftists always do. That's why we will never subvert capitalism
Exactly! The elite didn't want the spotlight on them, so they introduced the masses to identity politics.
@Pablo del Norte True, all of a sudden they stopped being the center of attention.
These same people now love the government/corporate oligarchy.
It’s the government that is the only one that can legally undo the corporate oligarchy… which is why wealth disparity is lower in western leftwing nations rather than rightwing ones.
@@raquetdude This is now a left wing nation and the government/corporate oligarchy are BFFs...So I dont follow your logic. The disparity is getting worse and let's not forget which administration bailed out the bankers (at the taxpayers expense) after the crash.
More like they realized is wasn’t going to change anything so the movement Latched on to Bernie.
@@CashMoolah00 You short sell on your call, the movement lost steam due to poor organization and no real direction. It became literally a 'hot shit mess'
Exactly. The 1% knew how to handle the 2020 recession because of this. Just send every loser a $1,200 check and they will shut up fast.
using this video for my school project, great video
They all got subverted into talking about race not class
And now they are quiet even though wealth inequality is way worse, but they got their stupid $1,200 checks.
You nailed it
It sucks that the media and paid influential people fooled them.
The Charging Bull statue at Wall Street was better protected by the cops in 2011 than the U.S. Capitol on 1/6/21.
That’s good. We need more direct action protests. This country is bad.
Police are basically corporate thugs
Great timing cant wait until next month
We just got distracted in buying new phones every year to watch few seconds videos and buy stuff we dont need
Occupy Wall Street was destroyed by the woke crowd when they started making it about race instead of classism. Funny how we still don't know who those two people were who pretty much destroyed the movement.
amazing that you think they can be separated
@@clarajones6364 Don't care bread-tuber shill.
@theVergeRemnant Larry Fink is of "The Tribe"
Occupy lost me when they got racial
????... I wonder who is being "racial" here
The second they started separating people by race was the moment that the movement was doomed to fail.
@@tailoredfor831 you're either too young or weren't paying attention at the time. They started segregating by race and voting on things in racial blocks. That's why the older folks and "right wingers" fell out of the movement and it became a socialist/communist project. That first week or so everyone was on board, just like BLM, and then agitators came in and started splitting everyone up by race and we all started fighting with each other instead of focusing on the real issues that effected all of us. They do this any time we get close to making real progress, and if they fail before the movement picks up steam then they just assassinate the leaders.
It was by design. For the media there was a sudden huge increase of talking about "Racism" and "sexism". The media starting going on about "racism and sexism" to shift the movement elsewhere and divide and conquer.
@@Sketch1ish I wouldn't be surprised if some of the agitators were sent there by the government to exacerbate existing prejudices and dissolve the movement. The other problem is that occupy had no leadership or plan so it was inevitable that it would collapse.
Here in Atlanta I accidentally came across the occupy rally that year and nobody was there except for the Communist party organizers.
I wonder what the unemployment rate was with the Occupy Wall Street vs everyday Americans when this was made?
IMAGINE A LOCKDOWN SO LONG YOU LOSE YOU SAVINGS, JOB, AND HOME.
Just watch Thailand’s situation
I had a lockdown in 2020 and I still have a job.
@@MultiCreditKIng you must be the 1%
I trust Business Insider to assess a mass movement against corrupt crony capitalism and its unholy alliance with government.
Because they shouted at buildings instead of occupying THE HALLS OF CONGRESS...!!!
💯💯💯✅
There wasn’t a group to actually thrust the movement in a direction. Make sense. There are movements now though, come after next recession it might go differently.
What do we want? “Something!”
When do we want it? “Now!”
keep being delusional that other races and immigrants are the problem in america. the real problem is the ultra wealthy pulling the strings in the media to keep us complacent
Not true. Everyone knew why they were protesting and what they wanted.
Losing a job makes folks angry especially when they went to college and have a pile of student loan debt to repay. Occupy Wallstreet didn't change anything. The 1% are still rich.
More accurately they are even richer than they ever have been... We are in a quasi-feudalism. We just changed the labels. Instead of Duke, Baron, or Lord of the Manor, its CEO, Executive Vice President, and Chairman of the Board.
Did I see a Bernie 2016 poster? I think y’all used the wrong footage in a few of these clips
Very timely considering AOC was wearing a "Tax the Rich" dress at a $30K entry fee Met Gala.
I see alot of criticism of this movements primary goals or larger "meaning".
Im no expert, just a skeptic but I am all but certain this is a counter narrative tactic. Maybe im a holdout from the twentieth century when it was the citizen's responsibility to make sure media didnt trick them personally.
This is just like every other piece of coverage ive seen about occupy from established media sources: they didnt have a goal, they were disorganized, look at all the bad things that may have happened as a side effect, here's a cut up interview thats totally not out of context.
Its the opposite of what you hear from first hand accounts or sympathetic media. The west is a battleground for warring narratives and its seeming more everyday like we all have to pick sides or be victims.
I hope we see another movement like this
The gamestop stocks movekent was the closest and that got shut down very quick.
Well it was my idea. I quit as an activist after MeToo happened because I was sick of being on the receiving end of the abuse, and I had met, or failed at, all of my primary goals. I have been enjoying being retired. My stress level has gone way down.
BUT, lately it has occurred to me to start a UA-cam channel to tell people all about what I did. I know people will be amazed to hear about it, but I am afraid of once again getting all that abuse. I will be criticizing important and famous people.
What do you think? Should I step up to be a leader again? Would you be supportive? I can do it, I have done it before, but I don't know how successful it will be and the last time I barely lived through it.
Wef- "you'll own nothing and be happy"

This is why it's important to understand how the stock market works. Invest in your own interests and use the only language they know against them: money.
Until they block the buy button and only allow sell button. lol
@@NA-tu7nt GME has entered the chat.
I was thinking about bullets, but money works too..
Just be careful not to become like them.
You cannot use the system to beat the system. R/wsb is a good example.
The 99% got the crowd but the 1% had the money.
One of the basics of the political campaign I was trying to lead is loosely based on the game rock, paper, scissors except in politics it is money, people and ideas. The big money people control politics by using their money. We had to reverse the process so the people control the money instead of vice versa. How do you do this? With people and ideas. Politics is a war of ideas.

2011: Occupy Wallstreet
2022: Liquidate Wallstreet
I remember seeing the posters of when it was supposed to kicked off in Eugene,Oregon which was in October of that year(2011) at my community college I was just starting my second year of Lane! I was able to visit both the Occupy Movement in Eugene and in Washington D.C.... Only thing that I know we have left from the Occupy Movement today, in Eugene is an Occupy Medical Truck which I have no idea if it is still around because I no longer live in Eugene! For those wanting to know more about Occupy Eugene,Oregon they had an their encampment in between Washington and 7th Street close to the downtown area which is where the overpath to the highway is, ironically enough according to my mother that area used to be old beautiful historic houses that onced was own by Eugene Elites many ages ago! back in the late 70s, early 80s ; however, they removed and displaced the people who lived there for building the overpath! Areas that remained were turned in a park! Which then became, after tearing down all those houses a high crime area! It has only been with the last 10 years has that area started to see so improvement;however, once again thanks to businesses moving in, that area is now displacing lots of people and Eugene's homeless population has sky rocketed particularly on the westside and people are livid about it! So, that is the story of Eugene!
They knew what they were against but they didn't know what they were for.
It succeeded in a small way: it had a huge affect on my politics. I did not participate in the movement, but it forced me to ask serious questions about American society and history.
Disorganized stupidity. Some picket signs on the Embarcadero in San Francisco even said ‘lower my ATM fees now’
Oh wow, how much were they paying to go from ass to mouth?? =/
Even though the movement may have failed, the messages have lasted. Look at some of the bills that have been co sidereal since then: increases taxes for the insanely wealthy, trying to close tax loopholes, etc. The movement definitely failed, but things have VERY slowly been changing.
I have news for you... the rich are twice as wealthy and twice as powerful and influential than ever before.
Yeah, I'm sure it's working. "You just have to give it a little more time"
Then, they will start selling you!
I'm in this video and can say for certainty it's not telling the whole story. Notice how, yet again, the many - many - Ron Paul supporters with their signs and booths were surgically removed from all the clips. Not an easy task given how many signs and even booths there were.
Good point. Real conservatives and leftists have things in common. We are tired of being used for the greedy rich elite agenda. I am a capitalist. The central bank “federal reserve” is a communist entity. That’s why we don’t want it. There should be no government centralised economic system. It should be free market with limited safeguards and regulations.
I’ve never heard of this movement and I live in Los Angeles
it’s because all LA does is focus on identity politics. apparently economic status doesn’t matter anymore.
UA-cam made me watch a Trade Republic ad before being able to watch this 😁
Because they did it wrong they need to boycott the markets and move to credit unions and away from banks, boycott any business that has automated kiosks and online transactions.
You can’t protest while engaging in the activities that enrich Wall Street.
occupy wall street should have never ended!
This movement is a example of how to dismantle an activist force by buying temporaly the heads and then tossing them asside when they are not longing usefull.
I’ve remembered seeing this happening when I was in my 6th grade middle school. It will get worst in the future as time goes on since occupy Wall Street is just ridiculous.
How is it ridiculous
@@RealDonaldDrumpf you know that corporations have to pay taxes just like we do and if they make there products in America it will increase prices. I know that corporations and bankers can screw everything after the 2008 housing market crashed. When you have the unions going on strike demanding more pay and benefits it will mess up the company, go bankrupt, and the economy can get worst. Americans are messed up after the 2008 financial meltdown. But guess what? My family pulled through and they didn’t lose a lot except for there 401k when it lost its value.
The anger should have been focused at Congress.
This showed the double standard of American democracy.
because of agent provocateurs in the crowds and the fact that peoples lives in america however poor are too comfortable for them to actually initiate any long standing change

A Swedish socialist high school teacher told me that he objected to mandatory accounting on the grounds that the math would make Capitalism seem logical to the students.
I Libertarian told me that nothing should be mandatory.
If you search Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations for "and account" you will find he wrote about education and said "read, write, and account." At the time 50% of Brits were illiterate. But the US could easily have done it since the 1950s.

Jewish capitalism and communism are one and the same.
Mainly because the internet is required to effectively operate in this modern society and to properly form a political movement without getting outpaced by opposing political parties, not to mention the thought someone should disconnect themselves from society and live without buying something from a major company is unrealistic due to the fact a lot of these companies provide valuable service and goods such as medications that allow people to survive and thrive. Occupy was about going against healthy banks who effector ruined 100s of thousands of lives due to there own knowing mis-management, not about going against tech and other big companies which is a whole other thing.
Lmao, the IPhone meme...
That's a V for venda mask lmfao
What we need are civil rights leaders, not activists, but no one is willing to take the figurative/literal bullet.
The first step in solving a societal problem is getting everyday folks to agree there is a societal problem in the first place... and that something needs to be done about it.
Failed? By that reckoning Charterism in 19th century England 'failed'. And yet its aims were nonetheless achieved well before the close of the century..!
They use the media to keep us confused about who the villains are. The same anger exists on the left and the right but they have us fighting each other instead of uniting for change.
It makes me sick
ONE OF THE LOCAL CANDIDATES FOR MONGOLIAN PARLIAMENT WAS TALKING ABOUT CHARTERIST IN ENGLAND JUST FEW DAYS AGO. IT STILL INSPIRES.
I have never understood the fixation with bringing the rich down, closer to the poor. Wouldn't it be much more tangible and effective to focus bringing the poor up, closer to the rich? Instead of focusing on penalising and deriding the rich, shouldn't there be a focus on helping the poor? There are many problems in society, and few of them are caused by the rich. Inequality is merely a symptom, not a affliction.
The Panama papers exposed how much money is being evaded in taxes and other injustices brought by the richest people in the world. Those actions have very real consequences for the poor, worse education, worse healthcare, worse security etc.
Poor people can't help poor people 😂
My point is that you can’t make the poor rich when the rich is preventing the poor from being rich.
The whole purpose of the movement is to bring the poor and make them rich that is exactly what they are doing The rich will never learn a lesson because they are in a position of self privilege they will never understand the life of the pageantry if they don’t experience it firsthand for themselves.
The rich can be rich but the rich cannot interfere with the poor this just shows that rich and wealthy gains you power and influence The rich wants to stay rich then they better help the poor and those people in need instead of spending most of their time partying in the collecting those people in need.
@@aviatorsound914 bruh, you are acting as if capitalist system never bring up the quality of living to its worker. The quality of life in capitalist system is far better than those in communist system, you can compare it with soviets.

Some things are finite.... land, resources, which the rich control. You need to take from one to give to another. It's simple maths.

By wallstreet they where bought and paid off
The enemy is the state, and the banks are the enemy because they are cronies to it. But the power structure is statism, capitalism is how you hold corporations accountable. The state protects their cronies from accountability.

I m damn sure 90% of the people who were involved in that protest , doesn't even know anything about stock marketing..
Neither do you. They were mostly there due to taxpayers bailing out the banks and automotive industry meanwhile students got shafted with massive student loans and highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. How basic are you?
Probably a blind folded modi supporter you're.. who always think like that the opposition doesn't know anything.. wake up kids ... And stop licking boots of your white masters

@@tony2961 fire movement is a scam
@@tony2961 Fire means Financial Independence Retire Early.
It's been a movement teaching people financial independence and how to retire debt free through solid investment and frugal lifestyle.
Homeless people ruined it. So irony killed OWS.
Ah I see, it failed because there were too many wankers in Guy Fawkes masks and not enough actual action. Classic.
They'd make sure Americans are divided.
