      When did we “have the chance”? You seriously believe Occupy had the “chance” to destroy Wall Street? I’m down with the spirit of it but please tell me you don’t genuinely believe this was possible.

      Putting aside the ethics of destroying the thing that most people’s retirement is tied too without any workable alternative in place (among countless other negative consequences for the average person), you understand the buildings aren’t horcruxes, right?

      Lol like physically burning it down would have affected anything. This is the same simplistic logic as a wall keeping out illegal immigrants

        I’m pretty sure the thousands of deaths of major traders would have had some impact. You know, what with all of the fire and burning and melting of human flesh.

        But nah, let’s just do some chanting bro. Totally works, right?

          Then get out there and start burning shit.

          Crying about it on lemmy just makes you look like a huge turd and hypocrite.
