7. The FSM had an Obscenity Rally

That was pretty darned shocking to everyone. Actually only one of the leaders got involved with that and the rest of the FSM decided that actually went too far and discredited the movement. Nevertheless, they felt once it was done, they had to back it. Sadly, the result was the F-word fest that eventually led to the Reagan backlash.

EDIT: It was called the "Filthy Speech Movement" - http://texts.cdlib.org/view?docId=kt687004sg&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=d0e8112&toc.id=d0e353

The impression I got from the interview was Marissa actually didn't care about the "white gaze" of Seattle which was so shocked that she thought of them as racists and white supremacists. Because Bernie was there, she was able to put on her show for a National audience at Seattle's expense. And now she thinks she was successful in starting a National conversation about Bernie Sanders and race.
