LaRouchies in Davis

[ron_newman]

Around 12:15, I encountered a bunch of LaRouche Jugend in front of the Holland Street T entrance.

Ugh.

(Maybe this happens regularly, and this is just the first time I saw them here?)

I see them in the Harvard station pit every now and then.

They were in front of the downtown crossing stop this morning.

Yeah, I said "no thanks" to a pamphlet, and got "You're supporting World War III!" yelled at me. Yeah, just cause I don't really need to read the crazy-person propaganda. (Sample LaRouche quote: "The Beatles had no genuine musical talent, but were a product shaped according to British Psychological Warfare Division (Tavistock) specifications, and promoted in Britain by agencies which are controlled by British intelligence.")

They are ALWAYS out in Harvard Square!

Yeah, I'm unfortunately used to seeing them or their literature in other places, just not in Davis. When they leave their pamphlets in piles on benches at Park Street, I've been known to throw them out.

Oh I sure hope they're around when I get there because I'm certainly in the mood for a little screaming at idiots.

This is funny, I've been calling them 'the Children of LaRouche' for a long time now too...

Yes, they can be rather hostile. Most of them are flat-of-affect and unable to do much other than accuse and derail... I don't think people should be allowed to do that to children.

Their official name, believe it or not, is "Worldwide LaRouche Youth Movement". (Wikipedia link here, official website here, official Boston page here.)
