You assume that baristas, hair stylists, carpenters aren't putting their bodies on the line and normally a lot wouldn't be because they are at work. This time, they are. In fact, I personally know of a barista (from Starbucks) and a carpenter (won't say from where) who regularly go out in the same affinity group. Without a doubt there are hair stylists in SF/Oakland doing the same thing. If you aren't active in these groups, you won't get a notice for you to show up so if you don't know about them that doesn't mean they are not happening and two, you aren't going to really know they're demographics as they are not homogeneous. Folks I know personally do not sneer at peaceful protests and work to separate their actions so the old tired out narrative of peaceful protest hijacked is provable to be false, along with the idea violence is used that somehow soils the other peaceful protest when the fact is that those who often put their bodies on the line protecting POC are vilified and lumped in with looters (god forbid anyone loot) and property destruction/vandalism. And the assumption that all of these "instigators" are white kids with universal privilege is simply not what I see in the bay area. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
