“ [I] really wish people would stop using the word ‘occupy’ to describe ‘radical’ protest actions. I’ve lived in occupied territory, and all that word makes me feel is fear. Words have meanings, and when I hear the word ‘occupation’ I think of soldiers shining flashlights into my parents car, profiling my dad for being dark & foreign, bomb blasts rocking the streets and checkpoints on the way to school. Think before you speak - it’s not the right word for what you are trying to do, and it actively excludes a lot of people who might otherwise want to be involved in your action.”

Given the history of the country I live in, which exists on occupation, and given the fact that the person I love deeply left his home because of occupation and all that came with it, yeah this.
(via wateroftheclearestblue)
This is interesting… I don’t have a stake in it either way, but I would have thought that civilians occupying their own cities would have VERY different implications to military occupation.

Why can’t we just call it ‘Take Down Wall Street”? I don’t see that as being inherently problematic
