What does Kalle Lasn mean when he says, “We aren’t just playing the old lefty game where you are pointing your fingers and going,’Look at this terrible thing that’s happening here. Let’s go there and get those bastards.’ We’re actually saying something positive.”?

In this course, we are considering protests movements: what are their aims? What makes them legitimate? What makes them reasonable? Why do they happen? This article examines how a radical leftwing magazine called Adbusters played a major roll in kicking off the Occupy Wall Street protests of the mid-2010’s, and profiles the managing editor of the magazine, Kalle Lasn. Read the article, and respond to what you read there. Consider a few questions: 1: What does Kalle Lasn mean when he says, “We aren’t just playing the old lefty game where you are pointing your fingers and going, ‘Look at this terrible thing that’s happening here. Let’s go there and get those bastards.’ We’re actually saying something positive.”? 2: Is that really a different way to start a protest? Why or why not? 3: To what extent do you remember “Occupy Wall Street” protests? If you don’t remember them well, why do you think that is? What do you imagine the concerns of the protest might have been?

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?

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?
