TG: so every events and shit??? theyre all in this together now
TG: the fucking funnel is marrying all this shit left and right reading their vows
TG: sucking everything that happened in like a black hole
TG: no divorcing allowed
\
d c b a>

TG: thats all i got without paint
TG: point d
TG: okay now a fucking example as street protect is happening in the la cuz everything sucks
TG: dramatic increase is unemployment and cost of living as block roadway and refused to budge
TG: polices are called to break up the shit
TG: civilians are arrested and throw a fit
TG: military comes and next thing you know they are firing off their weapons
TG: organizers demand justice to be served for military to be kept in
TG: fuck yeah i rapped this shit
TG: shits getting cool enough to freeze the ocean here
TG:alright point a done and over
TT: That is close enough Strider, but there are other factors that need to be seen in this and we cannot simply believe the audience understands with your rapping. This information does not suffice the whole situation as we do not know what accounted behind such a charge. Police officers and soldiers may or maybe not be the culprits and performed acts of violence on their own.
TT: Back at point B of the perspective we can infer that there are a organizations behind these demonstrations. Political parties, labor, and peasant unions, student group and so on as there can be a long list. They, all representing some constituency has position on issues know how to energize members to act. We are shifting from individuals to institutions. Their people are motivated by these groups as they have no reason to protest suddenly.
However we must understand that the police officers and soldier are all part of institutions as they are members of their respective security forces. These forces are heretical, meaning it was under a command and obedience and it was not the soldiers fault entirely as he is charged. The decision to violently "crack down" on the protesters was most likely made in a secret join meeting of the police top brass. But of course it is a question and cannot be proved.
TT: Now the question we see here is why? They may have their own personal agenda, but again it is not known. So we now come to point C of the outcome from this funnel. What was the reason they did not negotiate instead of resorting to violence. Of course there is the thought that the military itself is out of control but what if it was the authorities? It is entirely possible that the government and its allies that they had their own agenda in businesses and economics.
TT: We presume that the government has the independent authority to formulate and reformulate its own economic policies. But is it true? Are we the end of the funnel?
Perhaps not and there is a point D, a real point D. The government may fit within a larger global system. Economically the system features a very powerful bank and other lending agencies who control the purse strings.
TT: Impoverished third world countries, short on cash, must often accept strict conditions for loans from the International Monetary Fund, The World Bank and other creditors. So these governments must routinely seek approve from these lending agencies or face consequences. In other words the government is the loan agencies “bitch”. The IMF may want to reduce public sector employment while raising prices on subsidized goods.
TT: These are precisely the kind of such policies that would trigger the type of demonstrations we previously described. The lending agency wants less employment and more expensive supplies to be sold, while the protestors want the opposite.
TT: So who has the power? Who is at fault? Is it the government who decreed the policies, or the international lenders who gave them little or no choice?
TG: whoa way to lay it on thick lalonde
TG: no ones gonna want to read that
TT:I will entitle you to shut up, Strider. I am not done.
TT: If the government does what the agency wants them to do their credit would be on good terms, what is a couple hundred of people in a country of millions?
TT: And to add on to such thoughts the international is an important causal agent. The network of alliances may decide not to touch this country due to it's bad credit if they did not fire on the citizens that were protesting.
TT: Finally at point D we have come to the end of the funnel. We may be able to visualize this one episode as an event shaped by large socio-economic relations of labor and production that formed decades before. The government is acting out an old role written for it by the most powerful business, financial and landed interests in society. This interest always relied on security forces and compliant governments to prop up their economic system domination.
TG: are you done???
TT: You must really learn the concept of shut up, Strider. But yes, I am done.
TG: ok cool
TG: so back to the big picture
TG: which i wont even bother typing out again
TG: you have to memorize this shit for the best grade anyways

AG: Oh fuck, never mind. Kanaya can take this! This looks soooooooo 8oring!
GA: Thank You For Allowing Me To Take My Turn, Vriska. But To Say That Such Lectures Are Boring Is Not The Right Way To View What We Are Being Forced To Learn
GA: II. The Analytical Tools We Use
GA: To Sum Up: Political Funnel Of Causation, Moves From Small To Large, From The Near To The Distant, And From The Proximate To The Remote
GA: At Each Step We Have Hinted At A Set Of Questions That Should Be Answered. Let Us Make GA: Those Questions Explicit.
GA: 1. What Is In It For The Political Players? What Motivates them
GA: 2. Why Is It That They Visulize The problem The Way They Do?
GA: 3. Is Their Behaviror Molded By Others Or Is It Their Decision
AG: Ugh, youre 8ooooooooring too! Stop copying everything word per word off the screen!
AG: Never mind. I'm taking over to show you the right way to do it!!!!!!!! :::)
AG: Just know, you will not find the same solution to the maaaaaaaany politcal puzzles you confront as you study Latin America.
AG: Omg, everything is so 8oring. Who cares?
AG: Okay, you also have to have loooooooots of analytical approaches.
AG: They're like your tool!
AG: It's like my dices. We need dices to play a game! But we actually also needs cards for variety.
AG: Understand????????
AG:Omg! Why the "five" i's? It should be 8! Eiiiiiiiight eyes!

AT: uH, i HATE TO BE A BOTHER AND INTERRUPT YOUR TEACHING BUT,,, tHERE ARE OTHERS, tHAT ACTUALLY, uH, cARE ABOUT OTHERS, yOU KNOW,
AG: Taaaaaaaavros! Don't 8e stupid! They're actors, of course they pretend to be selfless. You can't just trust everyone to be troll Mother Teresa!
AT: i GUESS, uH, tHAT MAKES SENSE,,,
AG: Of course I make sense!!!!!!!!
AG: I'm not stupid! It's like when the miliary when to Iraq! It wasn't just for the humans.
AG: They had ideas for themselves too! You just have to dig deeper!
AG: Oh, well wh8ver. Looks like we’re done for today!
