Early this month in a familiar institution, something happened which was quite extraordinary. A particular event was to happen that had been scheduled since mid-way through last year. However, the night before- or rather in the wee hours the morning of- people were called up and told that the event would not be happening. The reason for calling off this event (without notifying the event organizers) was that the participants were being called to take action against something not related to the event itself.
After the fact, it was discovered that those called to take action did not have the opportunity to discuss this demonstration or decide whether it was in their best interests... In fact, it seemed to be entirely orchestrated by a body outside the group that was organizing itself to take action. Politics here confuse me.
