I put the name in Leet Speak because I don't want people to be mean to me since I'm just a freshman.
A lot of the time at D4R7M0U7H, in fact pretty much all of the time, I'm reminded that this is an investment banking and corporate dynasty school. Lots of others who live near me talk about how they came here because it's a corporate target school and many of them want to go into consulting or investment banking.
There is a pretty big counterculture movement on campus that focuses more on the campus atmosphere, racism, heteronormativity, rape culture, and classism, but not that macro-political. The macro-political group scene is dominated by the College Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and the Review which is the ultra-conservative newspaper.
Anyways, tomorrow the College Libertarians will be discussing anarchy. Specifically, anarcho-capitalism or what they describe in the e-mail as "free-market anarchy". Usually I don't go to these meetings which have been critical of the minimum wage, election finance, and other corporate restrictions. The few times I've been to meetings like this or had discussions with people on campus, I felt like I've left them more hostile to the ideas of the left than before.
Either way, I'm going tomorrow because this is my wheelhouse. I've thought / read more about the oppressive role of the state in the enforcement of property than any of these clowns.
Anybody have anything they want to say to make somebody look stupid for 15 seconds?
I'll probably post some highlights afterwords.
