  • Someone else said

    nobody should be expected to drop their principles on a whim.

    But this is exactly what school is about, training you that you’re nothing but a cog in the machine, teaching you to accept getting beaten down over nothing just because someone higher up the chain from you made a decision and why would he ever consult you in that decision you’re just a lowly student/worker.

















  • Focus locally, consider first your own community, first in fact then in metaphor. I mean, focus first on what’s actually going on around you, in person. Not plugged in enough to understand that? There are lots of people who need help. Volunteer with your local food not bombs, outreach group, or food pantry.

    Then if you need to consider events outside your community, think about how they would map onto your own community and how people you really know would act and react.

    Of course this only works if you’re not a gentrifier or trying to maintain segregation or anything like that. You’ve gotta recognize what you have in common with the guy on the street more than the rich fucks that dominate the news.
