Why was 2011 such a turning point? Occupy Wallstreet, perhaps?

Occupy Wallstreet was a reminder to the establishment elites of how they're losing their grip on narrative control and how activism is a growing threat to their rule in the Internet age. They responded by infiltrating activist environments with spies (this bit is documented AFAIK, just not with regard to idpol activism) and promoting a revolutionarily impotent culture that is both easy for capital to game and that effectively undermines any real change from the left. This culture is intersectional idpol, and the most notable target of the establishment's gaming of this culture was Julian Assange; just look at how they've turned the entire feminist army against the man, effectively stripping him of any significant support from the left.

... or so I'd like to say, but I don't feel super confident about this. However, I don't feel like idpol is an 'organic' grassroots phenomenon. It's far too convenient for those in power. For one it's known that the trans ideology has a lobby behind it.

These graphs cover 50 years so it's difficult to distinguish 2011 from the surrounding years. Also not every word on the graph follows the same trajectory. Are there particular words which took off in 2011?

Also, even if we assume that the divide and conquer theory is correct, Occupy Wall Street is not the only establishment-challenging event that could have created a need to divide the population. Also consider the GFC in 2008, the Manning leaks in 2010, the Snowden leaks in 2013, the DNC leaks in 2016...
