Isla Vista?! Bwahahahhaha

Okay, let's talk about the Isla Vista riots of 1970. Santa Barbara wasn't Berkeley. It wasn't Kent State either. It was just a bunch of fucking posers doing some Days of Rage imitation. The SDS self imploded once the movement turned to riots and other hissy fit stunts to get their message across. The kids who ended up at Isla Vista were like the casting central version of "hippie dissidents".

There were all sorts of riots around that time. I wouldn't brag about jumping in to fuck shit up when you were 16, hitting the infrastructure of somebody elses town, if I were you. What happened to Isla Vista as a result? I mean, how'd it effect the towns business to attack a Real Estate office and a Bank? You got a town filled with head shops that couldn't pay their rent. You got some burn-out town full of fake ass social consciousness, and you helped nail the coffin into the movement. Utopia, huh! It helped to create this activist lifestyle persona where ignorant kids like Geggy can mash Maoism, with Redneck White supremacy into one big hackey sack. Oh yeah and you got a food coop too! Radical!

To say it was all to challenge corporate corruption is a load of bullshit. Wasn't it really because a teacher got beat up? Some black kid used a cuss word? The Chicago 7 trial and Kuntsler's provocations? Was it because of the war? Was it because Reagan was a bastard, and Kent State really got you all riled up? I dunno, was it because Mick Jagger wore that really groovy cape to Altamont? If you got a real revolution you would have got yourself some fucking sidewalks. Maybe you'll even get that monument in Perfect Park to honor stupid teenagers getting rowdy under the guise of politics.
