WHAT LABEL HAS THE SYSTEM PUT ON YOU?




1. We are alone.
We are told not to act.
2. We want to be together.
We want to act.
3. We want to act together.
4. When we go to mass actions, we look for people with whom to act.
Our attendance is a search not necessarily for those who want to act in the same way and for the same reasons, but rather for those with whom we can act in harmony.
5. This is not a search for friendship.
O my friends, there is no friend.
We are not necessarily looking for those who want to listen to music with us
(though soundtracks make actions way cooler)
or who want to smoke cigarettes with us
(though that’s fun, too)
or who want to sit in meetings with us
(though planning helps, some times).
6. This is a search for affinity.
7. There are many ways of engaging in this search.
Some of us hold signs.
Some of us bring sign-up sheets.
Some of us wear black.
