    And occupy. The Palantir, Occupy, Anonymous triangle is deep and key to understanding the current moment as it pertains to the US. Surveillance capital is the nastiest arm of capital.

        No and I don’t see how that follows from my comment in any way. I am not this stupid. I’m saying however that Anonymous and Occupy were critical movements with true grass roots beginnings which were partially turned on their heads through government and private industry intervention. These movements fizzled out for other reasons, such as capture by less radical but still sympathetic forces and ultimately a lack of popular support.
