For f*ck's sake, Dick. The reader. The reader. That's part Six. (Tony's fussing over his background; it switches at high speeds, like he's suddenly in the wormhole from 2001.) So Beautiful Trouble is great because it gives you specific things you can do -- tactics -- to fight the Man in a given situation. For instance, you can start a flash mob, get cheeky, kind of a bum swarmer (shows Brave Heart image), like Trump said antifa did on Jan 6 to incite sedition. He called them a bunch of bums. You get his point. And principles. There are reasons we do things. (Ask LBJ: "This is why.") Moral compassings. And some of us are interested in the theoretical grounding to our forays into practical politics. Marx. Hegel's triads.

My left gonad. (Carla titters)
Teddy:
The Case Studies section is amazing. You learn where some of this stuff has been enacted and what the outcome was -- what worked, what didn't and why. Sometimes people need to know what worked and where. You know, a lot of people know about the Gay Bomb now, because it was the military was working on making an enemy division into pansies by dropping some aphrodisiac on them, but, you know, the hippies invented it. I think Abbie came up with that.
Tony:
I would have stabbed Abbie with an icepick.
Joy:
I heard he slept with Abe Maslow's daughter.
Rhonda:
Timothy Leary said Abe never had a peak experience. Another hypocrite. Do as I say, not as I do. But he was always down in the dumps.
Joy:
I'll bet she has some peak experiences with Abbie. I would've.
Tony:
Maslow's another one I'd have to ice. I gotcha Belonging (he grabs his shlonging).
