Another famous movement that seems to have come and gone is Occupy Wall Street, which protested income inequality and the corruption in government and finance that was brought into stark relief by the financial crisis and bailouts in 2008. The protests on the street may have ended, but they continue in the online world. On today’s Internet feeds there are endless posts about the difficulties faced today by Millennials trying to get by in the current economy – the burden of student debt, the impossibility of surviving on minimum wage, the need to delay life events like home buying or marriage until financial stability is achieved...

Of all the movements of the late 90s, 00s and early 10s, OWS is the one that the PTB feared the most. It was handled deftly and smothered as quickly as attention on it diminished. I think yo are correct that the movement continues more underground than on the surface, because it's the one issue that left unaddressed makes addressing all the others nearly impossible.
