Hard to ignore the stereotype of the American who knows little of what happens beyond their borders :(

The Occupy Movement was a global one, with protests in over 80 countries. It started there, but it wasn't just a Wall St. thing.

'scuze me for not keeping up on the happenings in each of ~200 countries, and assuming not everyone everywhere is keeping up on the latest in my sphere of awareness.

Yes, Occupy was global. I don't know who from where knows how much about it. I was answering a question about why someone might be confused by usage of the term "occupy" when it was unclear whether it was an "Occupy"-brand event vs "hey let's go occupy this space to save it". I referenced the Wall St. thing precisely because that's where Occupy started.
