MEDIA VAN ATTACKED DURING TAKE BACK SANTA CRUZ EVENT
Sunday September 19. San Lorenzo Park. Tire slashed on media van in broad daylight during Take Back Santa Cruz event.
The media is not objective. The existence of mass media is a symptom of a fundamentally alienated society. In turn, the media reproduces this alienation. They repeat police propaganda and brainwash people to be afraid of everyone around them. They tame struggles against the status quo by encouraging us to become media activists. To actually get out of the capitalist hell we live in, we need to meet other people and have unmediated conversations. Then, we organize to attack capitalism. Activists who pander to the media and democratic values are worse than useless.
Take Back Santa Cruz wants to drive poor people out of Santa Cruz. Especially people of color and the homeless. Well, we aren't going anywhere. You want the City Council to become even more repressive, in the name of public safety. You want more cops. You're a bunch of snitches and wannabe vigilantes. But you can't even prevent an attack on your event in the middle of the day.
We are uncontrollable.

This is so ridiculous. By definition, the media get the last word. The fact that you'd preemptively target the TV station rather than making a loud statement at this rally, or at least encountering one of the Take Back SC members who you don't like - has no logic to it. It's a bad choice.
I was once at an ANSWER march in San Francisco where a couple people started tagging and damaging a news van, and then KTVU gave a surprisingly fair report about the antiwar rally. You guys can only achieve more police informants at community institutions. Do you honestly think they will be intimidated, or will provide better coverage?

KTVU in Oakland may be the fairest newscast of all mainstream commercial network stations in the country... but that's not saying much.
"I was once at an ANSWER march"
That was your first mistake.
I remember watching that incident go down, while I wasn't involved I was thoroughly amused. Especially when this one young lady asked the reporter if they had any internships available.

Try not to wet your monogrammed Che Guevara underoos as you gleefully report on your "action" okay sport? You're "action" was juvenile enough; the excited reporting of same accompanied by jingoistic buzz words moves it past that to just plain embarrassing.
The media isn't the objective and its a symptom of an alienated society....but you're alerting us to that on an internet website? Hmm....
We need to meet other people and have unmediated conversations....unless those conversations don't fit the box of approved conversation that you've designated, in which case we resort to petty vandalism, cut a tire, and think we fought the machine?
You're not uncontrollable. You're a jerk off with a hard on for themself. Laughable.
