A note on prospies and social movements

So I've just returned from talking to prospies for 5 hours.
Why is it that everyone who is beginning to study sociology wants to study social movements?
Perhaps this is because EVERYTHING SOCIAL can be considered a social movement. What do those words mean anymore? One can do anything in a group with any sort of group identity and suddenly, one can call it a social movement using some weird form of reasoning. Political process? Terrorism? NGO's and sustainable development? Immigration? Openly expressing yourself and your identity? AAHHH! Hell, I thought I wanted to study social movements when I was just starting out, but the words have lost all meaning.
I did meet one cool girl who goes to Santa Cruz and she was telling me about what I need to do to be in History of Consciousness for a quarter or a year. I think it's more than doable, even though she thinks it might be really hard to get in with Angela Davis, if that's my goal. I just want to learn about feminism and critical race theory in a Redwood forest. Is that so wrong? I want to be around people who share my skewed perspective on the world and re-radicalize. I want fresh produce all the time. I want to learn to wind surf, baby.
I'm gonna do it...for totally.

And Di$h, you say you got me covered on the song, but I don't want your commitment, I want ACTION.

Much love to all before I write a Marxism paper,
Monica.
