i overstand the reasons why tho

Do you? Two main responses. 1) In 1968 the french State was in a much weaker position, possibly, with not only the empire (u.s.a./nato) on fire about Vietnam, but in france, on fire about, what, Algeria. Yes? So in that weaker position they could allow for actual liberatory activity. The masses were in UNREST mode. Unlike today. The masses have largely been out-flanked with the neocolonial Rollback in full swing (and not likely to slow down). Merely a basic awareness of Big Pharma's over-reaches is a lesson in this regard. (btw, thank you for your modeling text, inspiring me to want to hone my own writing abilities better than usual!) So today the french State is in a much "stronger"(Restriction Control Belief System Values) position and acts accordingly. Once you have a basic idea of that 'Playbook' you see the patterns everywhere; at least that's where my institutional analysis has led so far. To the anarchist critique (not their so-seemingly-oft violent reaction) which dares delve deeper than anything else i've explored. Too deep, perhaps, and yet, for those whom dare, there are meaningful insights to be had. Post-Left anarchist critique, for a potent example. See their "As We See It!" postit. (Of course, i counsel folks to NOT BELIEVE anything i say; but think it thru for yourselves!!) For the un-initiated, panarchy surprised me the most as far as a future sounding to be quite WORTH phightiNg for!! !!! 2) Now, as far as the idea/feeling that only a few BLs here are champions (or similar word) in the meaningful sense of loving young dudes, well, i think you should try reading "The Five Agreements" and especially the short chapter on not making assumptions!! But look at us dancing out our feelings and thrashings and so many REFLECTING poetix!! So many WOUNDED so DEEPly. So MISLED. So STUCK in THE 'MISERY LOVES COMPANY' due to such SURROUNDING THEM. Surrounding them in their BIG CITIES OF CONCRETE NO WILDERNESS!!! Surrounding them in the RIGID HIERARCHICAL MINDSETS REFLECTING WAR!!! so MANY GENERATIONS of war !!! How could it be much different?? Since BOTH the 'liberals' and the 'conservatives' were EASILY outflanked!!! Didn't see it coming!! 'Good' educations didn't prepare!!! Huh;. So, naw, i ain't buying into such energies you're, i think, getting stuck in, for whatever reason. But i don't hate you (or anyone else) for it; i recognize how our collective psychological genocide has been "tripping us up" across the anglosphere (and its satellites) in MYRIAD form. Including elites themselves!!! All i'm seeking to do, bottom line, is help folks possibly steer clear of getting stuck in THE MISERY OF judging each other too much (especially where that leads to nuclear war). And all the misery that comes with that kind of thinking. (Including the folly of even further isolating and demonizing ANYONE in rigid ways!!!!) Granted, i judge as well from time to time. The trick, i think, is to accept the repetition of each others' provocations (intuitive/informal as well as JustDoingTheirJob/professional) as TEACHING 'POINTS'. Or as i've been enjoying sharing, this frontline forum as a kind of 'dojo' (tho for me it's not about the Martial, it's about the cruciaL; not violent, but cruciaL.) Somehow, your sigpic always warms up this place, did you know?!! Jeepers! uP tO oUr imAgiNatiOn how muCh saniTy wE gain!
