This maybe late 20s white dude on the train flipped out today at the fact I was putting up the ‘March on the pentagon’ stickers. I was about to put one on the wall over where he was sitting. He said "Don’t put that there!" and of course I was like "why not?!" and still put it up on the train.
He tried to stop me but by the time he reached up it was already on the wall. He yelled that it was vandalism. I was like "fuck you, its advertisement." He start going on about something but by that point I was already like f--- this and kept putting them up and handing flyers to people. (I even met an old lady that asked for like 10 of them so she could give them out. She was encouraging and told me it was for a good cause). The people sitting around this dude started yelling at him, saying that it wasn’t a bad thing and he began going off on them too a bit.
The next stop was mine so I get off and put up another one on the pole of the train station. I didn’t know if it was his stop but while I was walking to the escalator to go to the exit he starting talking to me again and saying the same bullshit. I asked him we're surrounded by advertisements so why is this such a big deal? He bitched about how people have to take that off, its as bad as graffiti and because of people like me the train fares are gonna go up. If I want to advertise then I should buy one of those slots. I was like "what the f--- is wrong with you. They going to cut down train services and jack up the prices so we're paying more for less service. This isn’t because of "vandalism" it’s because we have to bail out Wall Street. And it’s not fuckin vandalizing. Its liberation. We already pay millions in tax dollars and we still have to pay for the train?! It should be free." I could tell he wanted to hit me and I think if I would have pushed him he would have. Exciting though. He said "Are you a fuckin Communist! Your stupid bullshit doesn’t need to be on the trains". I replied "What the fuck is so bad about communism you closed mined dumb-ass" I was about to exit the train through the turnstile and he grabbed it and stopped me from getting out. I was going to punch this dude but then he let it go and forcefully turned it. He started walking away and called me “a Spanish bitch.” Yo mannn no one fuckin calls me a bitch. I went up to the bars and called him a Racist closed minded fuck! and told him to come back here. But he kept going down the stairs.
I was actually quite happy when I got out of the train. I know that they'll always be people who are reactionary and closed minded. He acted like a petty bourgeois preppy punk. But the fact he bitched about the train fares probably means he's middle class. Or at least a slightly privileged, confused proletarian. He looked like a typical preppie white guy though.
I can’t wait until March 21st!
