8 years ago today I was hanging out at the Occupy Wall Street camp. It was a lot of fun there even if the people were a bit odd they were still good people.

@freemo There was a similar movement in Spain called 15-M. Before that most of the youth didn't care about politics and to some extent that has changed. I became very active since then. Many things still have to change but it was a good thing to start changing people's minds.

@DracoMagister In the end I decided I didnt agree with the vast majority of people involved in the movement. Though I do like the fact that it got people thinking and engaged it seems that it got people thinking in the wrong direction. But I like to go to these sorts of things before drawing conclusions.

In the end the whole mentality was either all government bad, yay anarchism, or the more moderate members basically thought "big business and millionairs/billionairs are bad" both of which I find to be inherently flawed and harmful ideas. But they were peaceful and willing to hear counteropinions so they had my respect all the same.
