How Quickly Terms Multiply Their Valence

Just a dumb observation, but it's funny to contemplate how readily after a whole lifetime otherwise the imagination can accommodate "Wall Street" as a site not only of predation but of resistance, not only a signifier of disdain but of hope. It's funny how quickly one can come to identify with Occupation after for so long defiantly dis-identifying with Occupation. It's one thing to teach the dynamism, opportunism, performativity of language, but still startling to find oneself dancing in delight to the beat.
