“Californian media outlets are reporting that student action has been counterproductive to their cause, which, of course, is absolute horse shit. In a world where students feel increasingly disenfranchised and powerless, direct and aggressive reactions are all that’s left.”

“I like the part about the counter productivity being absolute horse shit, but to say that direct and aggressive reactions are all that’s left connotes a regression and abandonment of intelligible thought within the student body, as if we’re undergoing a temper tantrum of sorts because we don’t know how else to react. Its true that we are angry, but… See More these direct and aggressive actions are very logical disruptions of capital, challenging the routines that occur within space that is shaped by capital. These actions are in no way “all that’s left”, we are not dogs that have been backed into a corner by their master. These actions are merely the launchpad from which we begin to build (come on U. of British Columbia!)”
