ANDROMACHE:
ANDROMACHE is a Greek tragedy written by Euripides (c. 484- 407 BCE), one of only 19 plays (out of 92) to survive. The play is actually in two parts, and like Sophocles’ Women of Trachis, it has no central character. The first part of the play deals with the plight of Andromache. Now the slave of Neoptolemus, the former wife of the Trojan prince Hector, she is threatened by Hermione, the young wife of her master. Together with her father, King Menelaus of Sparta, she threatens to kill Andromache and her young son.
Luckily, she and her son are saved by King Peleus, father of Achilles and grandfather of Neoptolemus. The second part is concerned with Hermione - the daughter of Menelaus and Helen - who fears the return of her husband from Delphi. He will most certainly kill her when he hears of her plan. Miraculously, Orestes, son of Agamemnon, arrives and saves the day with plans to kill her husband. The play ends with King Peleus, although grieving for his dead grandson, promised immortality by the goddess Thetis.

Protest all you want, and for whatever cause you want, but as soon as you start affecting public transport because of it I lose all interest in anything you have to do or say.
protests must be disruptive to a certain level to be effective. you can’t protest increasing video advertisement on a vital part of people’s everyday life without destroying some screens with paint. how would he have protested the advertisements without affecting public transport? he’s not physically stopping trains, he’s not violent.
Increasing video advertising means absolutely jack shit to somebody living paycheck to paycheck.
Missing out on three to four hours work because somebody wants to protest against increasing video advertising by delaying trains because of the sudden need of a cleaning crew ABSOLUTELY means something to people living paycheck to paycheck.
Affecting public transport for the sake of your personal views is selfish, and trying to attain the general public’s support by inconveniencing the general public is the most arse-backwards way of protesting on the planet.
the incident didn’t cause any delays, which is to be expected. do they close down the subway stations every time they find graffiti on the walls? no, they wait until maintenance time, which is regularly scheduled during nighttime–either every night, or a couple of times a week.
to force the low and working class to be exposed to far more advertisement than the upper class (in all senses: they afford premium tv channels without ads, they don’t take the subway, etc etc) is something that we in the low and working class should stand against. it hurts us, it pressures us to spend money we already don’t have, and ads are used as a tool to sell a false idea of what our lives should or could look like if we just worked under capitalism just a little bit harder. ads are not the friend of those who rely on public transport.
inconvenience is an age old tactics in protesting. that’s why strikes use picket lines (and that’s also why you shouldn’t cross them!): they inconvenience the company or organisation that the workers are protesting against. that’s why we hold marches, to inconvenience the public to force them to listen to our demonstrations. that’s how protesting operates and works.
i want to make it clear that i’m not in any way trying to say that you are authoritarian (or belong to the right), but non-disruptive protests and demonstrations are heavily favoured by the conservative far right and those of authoritative power (companies, universities, and so on). they favour it specifically because they know non-disruptive demonstrations are ineffective. if your ideal protest is non-disruptive, your ideal protest is also ineffective.
