also some occupies were clowntown co-opted nonsense while others actually did good and useful things like feed the community and do proactive outreach stuff n establish communal libraries n the like

Those are generally useful and admirable things but not really all that valuable when trying to hammer through political change through organized dissent.

There's something to be said for buying good will outside of the demographically limited reach OWS initially had.

Of all the people to cultivate for political change, the mentally ill and addicted aren't the ones. OWS had to (and did for a moment) catch the attention of white middle class America but failed to make their case because they were too far up their own rear end. They were the living embodiment of raising awareness as its own end.

Ok, but I still don't understand why we're supposed to give a gently caress about what this Google dude types. It's like walking into a mental hospital and getting riled up over the poo poo a lunatic comes out with or really taking to heart some bullshit your toddler says. It's just noise from an obvious loon.

It's not smart to be choosy about your allies, but yes allowing people like Justine to lead your movement is stupid poo poo, but as you say OWS' failing was their failure to do anything remotely sympathetic or evocative while in the spotlight and they paid for it, at that point people like Justine aren't necessarily the problem.

I think part of the reason why is because there's a really ugly subset of "yuppie techie culture," such as it is, that is getting a lot of media exposure lately. See the whole Glasshole foofaraw.

I binge watched "The Borgias" recently, and Jeremy Irons uses the royal "we" since he's Pope. So now whenever I read it I imagine it in his voice.

So I would be okay with Justine doing this.

For anyone naive enough to believe passing PR about locations in the US, please understand that this "tech yuppie culture" is not something a bay area resident, even one who works in the tech sector, necessarily comes into contact on a regular basis. it is a few nouveau riche folks projecting a hologram of what they want people to think the bay is so they will move there

Indeed - I'm a Bay Area native and it's pretty easy to not run into a yuppie techie or whatever. But they are pretty loving galling when you do.
