RE: What changes have you seen in the world in the last 10 years, and in which direction do you think we are headed? @ecoTrain Question of the Week!
Gret comment, thankyou! WELL DONE for being a part of the solution in 2011.. I watched that remotely.. it was amazing..
Equally amazing is how it seemed to vanish! Emphasis on SEEMED!
We will get there.. im SURE
Yeah, seemed is right. It inspired a lot of people led to many different outcomes. On a local level in the town I came from it birthed two different groups helping the homeless. On a national level it led to Podemos in Spain, a young political party that completely shook up the last general election. You can also attribute the rise of Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum to it. As a demonstration it may not have had immediate effects but as a movement it has changed the world in so many ways, both large and small. When I talk of Occupy I also include the Arab Spring, 15m in Spain and all the other international movements that started that year. We owe a debt to the people of Tunisia for leading the way.
Oh and I really need to work on my paragraphing.
Sorry for the massive wall of text.
