Awake Goy Thank you again, James Corbett. The last video here is wonderful, and absolutely true in my experiences,
LIttle things that are insignificant sometimes, like giving our new teacher a nickname, that I was first critiqued for, but quickly became her nickname.
My most remarkable incident was the day the four students were killed at Kent State. The news spread like wildfire, and I was so incensed and restless at work, I informed my conscientious objector superior that I had to go. He asked me where I was going, I answered Harvard Square, and he told me to go ahead and he’d be there later.
Once we had all wandered back to the square, after a lot of talk and nothing at the stadium, organized by Harvard, we had no idea. I was sitting on the curb in the middle of the street at the kiosk with my companion of the day. From a very personal history place, I thought deeply of how much I hated the cars, and how nice it would be if the people could be in the square together without the cars coming in from eight directions. Suddenly I jumped up, grabbed my friend’s hand, and said “Let’s stop the cars. ”
Within minutes there was a full circle of hands around Harvard Square, and the cars could no longer come in.
It was nice until the tack squad headed up towards us. Quite the shock at the time. I got the hell out, I”m not into letting the man hurt me. It was a police riot. They dragged people out of restaurants, including a pregnant woman with her husband, and beat her and others. Bloody stuff. The War was on.
I was just thinking…take some pages out of the yippies’ playbook if you need encouragement, if you need to remember how much fun it is to fight the Man. And this thought made me recall…that’s what brought everyone’s attention to me quickly. I gave out a big yippie yell as I stood up: “Yip yip yip yip YIppie!!”
Watch Abbey Hoffman’s biographical movie. See what a cultural revolution looks like. Watch them totally disassemble the Pentagon ground guards by simply telling them they were going to levitate the Pentagon and exorcise the evil out if.
That was powerful!!!
Watch the trial of the Chicago Eight.
This video was brilliant on another point, also. Make the action simple so others can easily join in. A friend showed me this years ago when I was playing and singing for him…and he asked me suddenly if I knew what made people love a song. What, I asked? he answered, if they can sing along.
Of course!! Those are the songs I love too!! And everyone loves a sing along.
Maybe the hokey pokey is what it’s all about.
I’m very often the one to begin dancing first. I don’t care. I want to dance.
Once I left as all the bar bitches were being crazy cause I was having fun. So a new friend playing guitar on the street said “I’ll go be the crazy one with you!!”
