is such a crazy fuckin’ trip.
Because there are concerns that just like don’t exist outside of it.
Like even if you keep your actions strictly legal it’s like “Do we have infiltrators? We might very well have infiltrators because apparently that’s still a fucking thing.”
…is it absurd to be suspicious about the possibility of infiltrators in small relatively innocuous leftist organizations?
I’m reading Heavy Radicals and some shit that’s going on is making me suspicious as hell.
At the hairdresser.
Identity politics without class analysis tho… YIKES
Which were blatantly made to discredit a WOC who was calling out this white lady’s bullshit racism, are still fucking up the WOC’s ex partner’s (who is a really genuinely good person, with awesome feminist praxis, and also is Jewish and the accusations really play into a lot of anti-semitic stereotypes) life fucking sucks so bad.
My friend deserves so much better and I am so fucking sick of all these horrible blatant lies being believed. I am sick of having to go in and show all the documents disproving her horrific lies. I am sick of worrying my friend who is one of the kindest people I know and an incredibly effective organizer is going to fucking kill himself.
Fuck the leftist witch hunt bullshit.
Fuck you, toxic lying bossfucker who brought the whole thing back from the dead.
Fuck the people who won’t be happy till a good man is dead.
Oh also the accuser in this case is a white lady who defends men who hit women she deems to have ‘false consciousness’ (usually WOC) but calls anyone politically inconvenient to her rape apologists.
Exploit the sexual labor of sex workers for the profit and social capital of a select few higher ups.
I need help from someone else good at this stuff. Things are a mess.
I have a powder keg situation and need help
Is one of the most dangerous reactionary currents ever developed.
Its use of radical jargon and aesthetics while playing to establishment politics is a wonderful way to say “turn back, this is as far left as it goes”, and a wonderful way to alienate working class people from leftist aesthetics and ideals.
Also the use of unpaid, underpaid, mistreated, low waged, usually female workers by NGOs says a whole helluva lot. The “youth organizing” NGOs when analyzed from a labor standpoint essentially exploit child labor.
Anti-consumerist ideology alienates working class people denied stuff they want and need for too damned long.
Purity politics alienate people who don’t come from the academy after they get pounced on for using incorrect terminology.
It is the most perfect anti-communism wrapped up in radical rhetoric. A circle jerk of pseudo-revolutionary liberalism.
I don’t care how bad you feel about patriarchy or homophobia or whatever.
Your hair shirt won’t help me. Your self effacing jokes won’t help me. Your asceticism and self punishment are not my liberation.
I don’t need you to hurt as much as I do. I need you to help me stop getting hurt.
Don’t perform your pain for me as if somehow your suffering lessens mine. Help me.
Your self loathing will not save me from society’s injustice. Stop crying and help me up.
