The regeneracy is not a culture clean-up (which didn't occur anyway), although the cleaner and brighter pop music of 2010-2014 was a good omen. Too bad it went away again. The regeneracy has recently gotten underway as the various anti-Trump forces have gathered. The regeneracy is seen in the women's marches protesting Trump (the biggest demonstrations ever), the March for Our Lives organized by the Parkland survivors, the 2018 campaign which recovered the House from the evil ones, the climate rallies, the Bernie campaign, and other movements around the world. If Biden wins it will continue as the drive to push him forward if the Democrats win the Senate. The 2020s will be a progressive decade to one extent or another. The regeneracy today is making that possible. If Trump wins in 2020, the resistance will ramp up for the 2022 midterms and possible re-impeachment before then.
Do you feel as though the much maligned Occupy movement occurred too early for it to be successful?
They didn't even try to be successful. They didn't believe in voting. They could have cleaned out congress, but at least Obama was re-elected. FWIW.
