I wish the legend on the diagram wasn't so hard to read. One of dots looks like it might be labeled PBS, Occupy Oakland is a little clearer.
Anarchist (or more complex forms) appears 11 times in this short document, violent is used 9 times, illegal is 6, protest (and protestors) shows up 10 times (only once NOT in the context of anarchist or violent or illegal). Peaceful shows up 3 times... Agenda, much? (How many of the #occupy folk are anarchists? How much of the violence at #occupy events was perpetrated by people in uniform? HOW MUCH is protest, dissent being stigmatized?)
(And, just to point out the obvious: while that pretty association map is probably fiction, not made by monitoring connections in social media... Don't think they're not watching.)
