i remember plain as day. ows was the reason i started paying attention to politics and eventually found my way to /pol/. i had noticed everyone was suddenly broke all the time and gas prices were the center of attention as they continued to climb (people used to actually go aimlessly driving when they were bored). i saw the message of ows because after years of learning that bush was the devil, i had hoped obama would bring "change" like he promised but everything was literally the same and getting worse. ows was the first thing i had ever noticed that said "fuck all the elites. republican and democrat are the same evil bird" so i started paying attention. soon after it gain a little attention, social justice warriors took it over and it became a joke. but pandora's box was already open and i found my way to /pol/ where i learned about ron paul and the fed and jeffrey epstein and austrian economics and the rest was fukkn history.
