(2,770 posts)You always seem to equate any disagreement with posts about Occupy as "animosity".
My animosity, if you can call it that, is towards those who give credit to OWS for things they have never accomplished. As I said in another post in this thread, Occupy took up the discussion about the disparity between the 1% and the 99% and ran with it - to their credit.
But they did not start that conversation, nor did they enlighten the populace on the topic as though no one knew about it before they came along.
The OP here states: "So much of the campaign dealt with income inequality and issues of tax fairness. I don't believe that this would have been possible without OWS."
That statement implies that the recent campaign would never have raised the topic of income disparity, etc., were it not for Occupy. And that's just downright ridiculous.
