      Ironically, the person I'm thinking of most here IS a Swarthmore grad, when Micah White worked for Adbusters and wrote that big viral Bush-era piece about how the concept of polling and demographic research is inherently neoliberal and will only produce neoliberal campaigns

      Same kind of rhetoric - can't dismantle the master's house with the master's tools, can't fight capitalism by putting evil marketers and advertisers in positions of power, etc It all sounds good until you ask the obvious question - "Then how do you know what people think"

      And the apparent answer is "I just know" "I'm very wise, I listen to the voice of the people, I have empathy and authentic unfiltered experience of life on these streets" Bullshit, in other words

      Yeah and conveniently those guesses are just based on whatever the person felt like saying and doing anyway How convenient and easy and fun politics turns out to be, if only every other job also worked that way

      There's a vast gulf between the superficially similar concepts "fighting for my own interests" and "doing whatever the fuck I want" Organizing is in fact work

      I'm not even talking about the technocratic idea of being smart to figure out what your position should be, I'm talking about being smart in order to try to make sure what you want actually gets done

      Although, honestly, the technocratic side of actually ASKING THE QUESTION "Hey what exactly should I be doing" does matter to some extent too Considering we're right now living through a pandemic where the details of what to do to live are highly dependent on expertise

      And yeah I think it's on some level deeply threatening when people decide "Smart people and experts are just another interest group, members of the professional class fighting for professional class interests" And it's not because I'm one of them (I have no PhD or title)

          There's "leftist" accounts on here right now spreading the meme that the CDC is a shill for Big Pharma and THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW that the outbreak could be over tomorrow if we all started drinking chloroquine
