I agree. I think they learned a lot from occupy, they learned to never let people crowdsource support on social media unchecked. I think they were terrified of people like Aaron Swartz because he really show the power of internet influence against corporate and state power for the first time during occupy Wall Street. Then they learned how to push their own agenda movements through the same mechanisms and make it look like a grass roots movement (like identity politics, blm, covid, political division).
