Resistance to "Resistance to COPAO"

For a critique of this article, see Resistance to "Resistance to "Resistance to COPAO"".

Resistance to OSCA's Committee on Privilege and Oppression (COPAO) is fairly common around Oberlin, often perpetrated by wealthy white kids (never poor white kids or rich POC, of course) or people who'd just like to eat in a fucking co-op without playing into the senior sociology project of a bunch of people who don't go to school here anymore, and also I suppose by those who are too afraid to have their spoiled lifestyles challenged in any kind of language-game masquerading as an intellectual manner. While the truth of the matter is that COPAO as a committee aims to make OSCA more accessible to students of various backgrounds, a handful of members choose to realise that their culturally hegemonic backgrounds are large-scale trends that cannot be adequately atomized into individuals by accusations of their attempting to stifle any discussion of their own privilege. Resistance to COPAO, formerly the official OberWiki COPAO article, is an example of why mainline sociological theory has failed in its proscriptive mandates and works against its aims by feeling that language constructed in opposition to prejoratively perceived elements in its solipsistic and insular descriptive terminology will magically manifest into cultural action.

In other words, the vapid world of modern academia is a tenuous nightmare meshwork of cats-cradled buzzwords tangled up without beginning or end and through which the only thing passing as a rational argument is the very barest human emotion swelling like an inflamed appendix spewing pus. Fuck everyone.
