1: One thing the class is dealing with is the difficult of translating from context to context — Roban asked what was meant by union in the Gig Workers United article, and Abdonis had a very different sense of the seriousness of protesting, because of different sociopolitical realities between Venezuela and here. One thing this brings to mind is how should we develop a common understanding, a common language of what’s happening? When we say “gig economy,” what do we mean? Do you participate in the gig economy in some way, either knowingly or unknowingly? Are protests in America superficial, or artificial, in some way that they are not in other countries? How should people, as we spoke about it today, seek a ‘redress of grievances?’ 2: Between BLM, MeToo, the Amazon warehouse workers’ protest, Occupy Wall St., anti war, or pro-environment protests, what are the commonalities and differences that you think really matter? How could one movement learn from the others in a way that would satisfy you that a: its cause was just, b: its motives were honorable, and c: its goals were achievable or laudable?
