I've heard from a lot of people who were inspired by Seattle in 1999 to get involved in politics, enough that I'm convinced Occupy wouldn't have happened if Seattle hadn't happened first, and silly as it got at points none of the new waves of activism in the last 10 years would have happened without Occupy. It's not about the Nikes, even if it was about the Nikes for the kid stealing them. It's about showing that capitalism isn't invincible, that it's not hopeless. I thought that kind of symbolic gesture was counterproductive for a long time, because it seemed like more people read it the way you did than didn't, but 2020 looks a lot less hopeless to me than 2010 did, and a lot of the people making it that way were dumb kids posting riot porn in 2010.
