...There is some fear that the CCA is getting into something it can't handle. Endorsing one side might permanently weaken the organization or even precipitate its demise. "All of us would feel uncomfortable if 49 per cent went one way and 51 per cent went the other," says one prominent member. Moreover, Crane still commands a strong following and a great deal of respect. He has been a powerful figure for the past 30 years, and the prospects of his regaining lost ground...

Students won't like you if you argue against their (illusion of) security. Students are "spoon fed with the delusions and placebos of this system" all their lives. In other words, if a man has a class privilege (in this case one that is quite shaky) don't struggle with him to give it up. Play up to it. Uphold the narrowest, in fact short-sighted, selfishness against the collective good. It sounds like Ayan Rand...
