    It wouldn't hurt you to read a few things on the subject. I know it's more challenging and energy-consuming than watching a video stream, but it should be worth it. It would help you form a sensible and rational position on the matter.

    It's one thing to disagree with something you know; it's another matter entirely to disagree with something you don't understand.

    You're not looking at the full picture. Either that, or you're intentionally blocking most of it out because it's too difficult for you to address.

    Your cognitive bias is showing.

    It's impossible to agree or disagree with you when you distort and deviate from reality.

    There was a young man who spoke sometime after him i think, who identified as a republican.
    Intelligent, well-spoken young fella who's concerned about social welfare.

    There is quite the mix. oh.....and Angela Davis is awesome. So good to see her again.

    Then you're blocking most of it out for another reason.

    I would have liked to see that. Earlier I was researching the logistics of the organization. It's always been an interest of mine since any organization requires good logistics for resources, human, financial, assets, etc.

    Baraka_Guru I think of not much different than the history denial. It doesn't fit the frame so it doesn't exist.

    Well, Eddie can't talk about OWS if there is no OWS. Maybe that's what he wants.

    How can you say that when you don't even know?

    You are, in fact, blocking out much of the picture. It's demonstrably so.

    Your cognitive bias is showing.

    If there is no OWS, you can't talk about OWS. Why not try some of our other lovely threads?

    Your cognitive bias is still showing.

    Facts are tedious things. I'm not going to foist them on you.

    Occupy Wall Street did not take place.
