No. First off, this isn't about smoking pot.
Sure it is - to some people the pot smoking downtown was a negative. To others it was topless tuesday. To others it was the crossing guard thing. Other people liked those things. Some liked some, disliked others.
We're doing stuff. Of course people won't like it.
A good example is the town hall drinking game (or whatever.) It was intended to piss people off. It's not so much the miscalculation of the effects of that activism though--it's the absolute failure of common sense required to actually put that shit on the air. People who do NOT understand are going to dig in, and it will make persuasion all that much more difficult.
No, actually it wasn't intended to do that at all. It was intended to bring forward the issue of the open container ordinance and actually make city council meetings fun! Who are you to know what the intentions were? You didn't plan it or execute it.
If you want a show that only talks about political stuff, go watch NH Capitol Access. My show is intended to entertain and inform.
"Of course people won't like" when you're doing things to DELIBERATELY piss people off. The reason civil disobedience works is because more people agree with the disobedient than the "authorities." When that's not true, you LOSE.
It was intended to "bring forward the issue of the open container ordinance" by pissing people off. This was obvious. I didn't have to be part of the planning to know that. If it wasn't calculated to piss people off, it wouldn't have been a stunt at all.
I NEVER indicated it was about politics, because it's not. This is about your asinine promotion of activism which does more to piss people off than persuade them that the state is the aggressor--the whole POINT of civil disobedience.
You vacillate all the time about what the show is for. When you want AMP money, it's about the libertarian outreach. When you want it to be about your stupid stunts you say it's about entertainment. This comes full circle to what the COMPLAINTS are about. Many, probably most, AMPlifiers want their contributions to further the cause of libertarian persuasion. When you're tossing 55-gallon drums of benzene into the water supply, you're making that pretty fucking hard.
I don't think it can be made any more clearly. Take the last word. You will anyway, and you'll misrepresent on the radio/podcast what people have told you
there their concerns are anyway, because it's all about how you get your kicks, apparently. My AMP money wasn't committed for you to get your kicks.
