I think NK is definitely valuable as a way to inspire people who otherwise wouldn't even know where to begin with protesting, and I think it's a great way to organize people or at least build awareness of local activist/mutual aid groups. Outside of that I would argue that a protest planned for a specific time on a specific date with a specific end point is little more than cathartic. There's personal value in catharsis but not societal value; it feels good but doesn't create change.
And no, assuming that the goal of OWS was to create actual change, it definitely and unfortunately failed. It's relevant to the extent that it shows people what doesn't work.
That's a problem, no? OWS failed because it had no clear goal and was just a catch-all for general dissatisfaction. And OWS was a sustained protest, not a four-hour long jaunt before everyone goes home.
I'm sorry if that was your personal experience, but it is far from the modal experience and shouldn't be used as a basis for how we evaluate medical treatment or medications themselves. Like I said, you have no idea what you're talking about.
No, you chose the first mental health drug that came to mind, not knowing that SSRIs and benzos are two very different classes of drug. Because, again, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Your inability to differentiate between specific drugs, all of which are commonly known, sure makes it seem like you have absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about.
Yeah I forgot that Buttigieg got a few more delegates in Iowa. After all the moderates dropped out, Bernie definitely lost momentum and his campaign really should have planned for that kind of move. Warren also staying in the race despite a highly lackluster performance sure didn't help.
Sure, after all the moderate candidates (some of whom were doing much better than Biden) all decided to mysteriously drop out right before Super Tuesday. What a weird confidence, am I right?

Your being pedantic
If I send you an article about a horrific car crash, would you conclude that the majority of drivers are killed in car accidents?

Oh, what could have been.
Super Tuesday was March 3rd so that doesn't dispute my point. Biden had won one state prior to Super Tuesday, Bernie had won three.

Tumblr is absolutely still a thing, my wife uses it all the time.
I work over at the power plant with dicknose here, give me a food!
