2012–2013: Suppression and Fragmentation of Occupy

Police crackdowns dismantled Occupy encampments in late 2011–2012.

The movement lacked centralized leadership or concrete demands, making it easier to disperse.

Wall Street largely weathered the storm with no major reforms to banking power.

Result: Class anger was real, but not institutionalized.

2013–2014: Shift in Media & Cultural Discourse

Media coverage of bankers, bailouts, inequality dropped sharply (as shown in your image).

Coverage of race, identity, and culture war topics increased, coinciding with events like Trayvon Martin (2013) and Ferguson (2014).

Elites and corporations began sponsoring identity-based campaigns (e.g., diversity initiatives, branding around social justice).

Class critique was sidelined; identity became the dominant lens.

2014–2016: Return of Financial Power

Dodd–Frank reforms (passed in 2010) were already being watered down by lobbying.

Too-big-to-fail banks grew even larger due to consolidation.

Stock markets surged with quantitative easing and low interest rates, massively enriching asset holders.

Private equity and hedge funds expanded into housing, buying foreclosed homes and creating today’s rental crisis.

Finance reasserted dominance, with public anger dissipated.

2016–2018: Populism, But Diverted

The 2016 election saw populist energy both on the left (Bernie Sanders) and right (Donald Trump). Both targeted elites, but in different ways.

Trump criticized Wall Street during his campaign, but filled his cabinet with Goldman Sachs alumni and deregulated finance further.

Democrats leaned heavily into identity politics as a counter to Trump, leaving little room for systemic class critique.

Economic populism was split, diluted, and contained.

2018–2020: Corporate “Woke Capitalism”

Major corporations, banks, and investment firms began openly branding themselves as “progressive” on race, gender, and climate issues.

Example: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink positioning finance as socially responsible.

Meanwhile, real inequality soared; wage growth stagnated, but asset prices (stocks, housing) skyrocketed.

Student debt, medical debt, and housing costs became crushing burdens.

Finance absorbed progressive rhetoric while continuing extractive practices.

2020–2022: Pandemic Shock

The COVID bailouts (CARES Act, Fed interventions) massively enriched the financial elite again.

Trillions flowed to corporations and markets, while small businesses and workers struggled.

Meanwhile, George Floyd protests (2020) pushed race into the center of political debate — but once again, systemic critiques of finance barely registered in mainstream coverage.

Race dominated headlines; finance quietly consolidated even more power.

2022–Present: Inflation, Housing Crisis, and Asset Domination

Rising interest rates, inflation, and housing shortages squeeze ordinary people.

Institutional investors (like BlackRock, Vanguard, private equity funds) now dominate housing, energy, and even farmland.

Yet mainstream discourse focuses on culture wars rather than Wall Street’s structural role in inequality.

The parasite finance class stands stronger than ever, shielded by distraction politics.

Summary

2012: Occupy fades financial elites regroup.

2013–2016: Media and politics pivot from class to identity.

2016–2020: Populist anger diverted into partisan battles; finance co-opts “progressive” branding.

2020–2025: Crises (pandemic, inflation, housing) enrich elites even further while public anger is fragmented into culture wars.

The core move was substituting class conflict with identity politics, while co-opting progressive branding and re-expanding financial power through deregulation, consolidation, and bailouts.

>noo stop being wayyycisss and think about tax ratessss goyimmmm

All of this shit is far far secondary to purifying the blood of our countries

The fish rots from the head. It is not about "taxes", there is a whole parasite class, which produces absolutely nothing and steals fucking quadrillions. The welfare to feed the niggers is just a drop in the sea when compared to what the (((Wall Street))) costs you.
But you can assault your local homeless drug-addicted niggers and get stabbed if you want, go on, die a "hero", retard.

>>514854415
parasite is not a class, it's a different species that corrupts the body of your society.

Parasite is a racial group, not belonging to us and not being part of our healthy existence.

>>514854913
Not all investors/parasites are jewish though.

A society is meant to have investors. It's meant to have these kind of people.
Just like in a human body, there are meant to be organs like the brain that use more energy than other organs, but it normally finds a balance. When you have a tumor in the brain though it creates dysfunctions elsewhere. And when you have a tumor in the brain and worms in the stomach the dysfunctions pile up and many cells which would normally work cease to function properly.

We need to firstly cut out the tumor and remove the worms then we can begin to regulate the parts who may yet be brought back to proper functionality.
It is not the class that is the problem, there is meant to be brain cells and also stomach cells. That is part of a proper working body, it's their genetic character being fundamentally at odds with our proper functioning.

At least you admit that there is no way to fix shit without removing the tumor aka Civil war.
