I’m about to make some enemies with this and I don’t really care.

OH LOOK. White people appropriating a moment from not-white people. Okay, that’s cool, not like there was well documented racism within the Occupy movement. Oh wait? There is? Well would you look at that.

Seriously y’all, let’s keeps some fucking prospective. They were toppling a dictators that had been killing their citizens for decades. Last time I checked, we weren’t under immediate threat of death or an oppressive dictatorship. Instead of stealing ideas, we make our own?

I’m sorry…. but the Arabs didn’t have the first “Spring”. There was the Prague Spring before this, and there were probably other ones before that. While I agree with other things you said in the post, there’s no stealing going on here.
