What is productive

I think we often forget how actions are productive. The "pre-discursive" and discursive are sites of production and affirmation of the self and ideology. I'm always impressed* with the ways in which people are able to reduce discourse and action to moments of individualized ignorance or as somehow apolitical because of its scale. To dismiss these as mere moments that are not successive, productive or cumulatively significant is myopic. Not to mention such a stance is also a claim to the apolitical (which is both offensive and untrue- there is no such thing as apolitical in real life- the act of claiming to be apolitical is political and has political implications in itself).
So what I'm saying is that we..or YOU, should pay more attention to people. Why do they do what they do? How do they accomplish it? And who do they step over, inflict violence upon or erase to do it?

*I use "impressed" sarcastically here- Not many people understand that is often how I use it.
