People often take calculated risks with less consequential things. Why do radicals risk the future?

1. South Miami is being torn up by college students on spring break--but arresting them is racist. Most of the locals being harmed are minorities themselves so the media blitz is very strange and dishonest. Were bail funds and compliant judges set up for these folks too? So it's cool now to allow a destructive swarm to descend on your community and go wild. It's not cool to try to stop it. It's not cool to talk about it. Got it.

2. Does it make sense to devote years to a degree program and then demand (through violence and special interest politics) that society dismantle the structures that support your field and your future? How else do you ready yourself for the new Utopia when you have no idea what it will look like?
