Y’ know I think some of the problems on the US left are caused by the touch starvation endemic in a culture that sexualizes all physical contact. I feel goddamn goofy saying it, but ya’ll need to hug more.

i agree honestly. i think a lot of people have deep deep problems with touch/sexuality/loneliness that is never addressed

Exactly, and spaces become toxic because of how much unaddressed pain there is, and like organizing while we’re all traumatized by capitalism and oppression and not handling it is way harder.
