Occupy Wall Street, Corporate Greed, and Why We Need to Go Bigger (Spoiler: Corporate greed didn’t go anywhere, and it’s time to fight back, again)

In 2011, Occupy Wall Street took to the streets to show the world what was wrong with this system: the 1% hoarding wealth while the rest of us suffer. It wasn’t just about money—it was about the way power and resources are controlled by a tiny group of elites who have the luxury of completely disregarding the people and the planet they destroy to get richer.

And here we are, over a decade later, and guess what? Corporate greed hasn’t just stuck around—it’s gotten worse. 🤑💸

1. We’ve Always Known Who’s Getting Rich (Spoiler: It’s Not Us)

When Occupy took to the streets, it wasn’t about saying that the system was broken—it was about showing that it was broken. And here we are, still fighting for economic equality while the wealthiest corporations continue to rape the earth for resources and exploit workers for profit. Yeah, the banks still have their hands in the till—but now, it's big oil companies, tech giants, agribusiness, and fast fashion companies that are all still playing the same game. They just got better at hiding it. 🌍💰

2. But Here’s the Thing: The Planet’s Paying the Price Too

We’re not just talking about economic inequality anymore. Oh no, we’re talking about environmental collapse. 🌱🔥 These same corporations, the ones that are profiting from all of this destruction, are the same ones that are polluting our oceans, tearing down forests, and turning the planet into a giant dumpster fire. It’s not just about austerity anymore—it’s about the future of our world. It’s not just about money now, it’s about the fact that these companies are literally poisoning the planet for profit. 🌊🌳

3. So What Do We Do Now? We Need to Go Bigger Than Wall Street

We all saw what happened when Occupy Wall Street shook up the system. But we need to realize that the fight isn’t over. Corporate greed isn’t just an economic issue anymore—it’s an existential crisis. These companies didn’t just get rich—they’ve pushed the planet to the brink of collapse, and it’s up to us to stop them. 🌍⚡

We need a bigger movement—one that doesn’t just push back against banks but challenges the entire system that lets these corporations destroy the world for profit. We need to be louder, harder, and angrier. We need to occupy more than Wall Street—we need to occupy the future.

4. This Is About More Than Just Protests, It’s About Rebuilding

It’s time for systemic change. Real change. No more half-measures. The Green New Deal? Yes. Renewable energy? Hell yes. But we also need to start holding corporations accountable for every drop of oil, every wrecked ecosystem, and every exploited worker. No more blind eyes. These corporations need to be held to account for the destruction they’re causing—and not just the financial damage. The planet is paying the price.

It’s time for a new revolution—a fight to hold corporate giants responsible for what they’ve done to the planet. We’re not just protesting for economic fairness; we’re protesting for environmental justice.

We need to be loud. We need to be in their faces. And most importantly, we need to be bigger than Wall Street. The fight isn’t just for wealth redistribution—it’s for planetary survival.

Do me the favor of reading the link I provided in my rebuttal (linked again here) before we continue. It focuses on noncon fanworks specifically, but absolutely extends to incest, underage, and other abusive/potentially abusive dynamics. I’m not gonna reinvent the wheel when I’ve got someone else’s 10k words to do it for me, and it’s an extremely valuable read.

In the meantime, please refer to Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, the notion that artists frequently draw characters as older than they are in canon, and the knowledge that if you’re literally drawing a pair of aliens, with alien anatomy and alien relationships in the canonical universe in which they are still aliens, they aren’t actually “in our world” and subject to the social taboos we evolved to have.

Tam (@fifteensnakes mom) is awesome! She got this tattoo last night. It's from a #woodyguthrie list of new year resolutions from 1943. We always need to #wakeupandfight #resist and #fightthegoodfight. So in the spirit of Woody, $60 (75% of the cost of this tattoo) was donated to #plannedparenthood. Thank you Tam! You rock! (at Long Street Collective)

Around this time last year, I was diagnosed with panic disorder. It's a long story involving a professor and trauma. By the end of it, I was different, constantly fearful and tired. Anger became a major trigger so if any negative feeling or emotion was even slightly directed towards me, I would either freeze up or break down. I would suffer through major panic attacks every week. I had to take a leave of absence from school because it was too crippling. I was afraid of my (then) partner. I was afraid of my parents. I was afraid of my sister. I was afraid of talking to people. I was afraid of the world. Around this time last year, I was also diagnosed with clinical depression. I refused to leave my bed, day and night I would stay there. It was as if darkness crashed over me like a tidal wave, pulling me into its murky depths. I wouldn't eat until I had to. There would be days where I wouldn't sleep and days where all I would do is sleep. And I cried. I cried because I wasn't normal. I cried because I was alone. I cried because that was my life and my future. My parents brought me to therapy. I remember not seeing them for a long time because I hid in my room. I remember looking them in the eyes for the first time in a while. I remember crying then too. I went to therapy a lot. I drank medication regularly. I made sure that I was finally taking care of myself. It's a long and never ending process. There are days when I remember the bad and have attacks, when 'I'm sorry' becomes my mantra, when I'm apologetic of my existence. But there are also days of joy. Days when my heart remembers the reason why it beats. I got sick and now, I'm getting better. Everyday is a reminder that I am strong. If you ever need help, never hesitate to ask. Love is around you, that is enough of a reason to keep trying. You are strong, wonderful, and the utmost importance. Never forget that. I never would have gotten to where I am if it wasn't for my family and my friends. U guys rock. So that's my story. I am #medicatedandmighty Spread #mentalhealthawareness destroy the stigma. Don't be afraid to tell your story and inspire others. Spread the love <3 #wakeupandfight
