and I you!!! so glad you're here and we found each other!! ❤️
I have to add another critical point - this fascist coup shit works by exhausting us and stripping us of joy.
Loved ones, comrades, strangers - community ties, laughter, hope: they’re not only necessary.
They are WEAPONS.

For all the "WHAT, I can't believe there are Nazis in our grand old party" crowd I'd just like to refer you to this 2017 article where I pointed out that Trump ran on Nazi propaganda the first time around.
Former neo-Nazi: Trump’s message parrots my old propaganda
A reformed neo-Nazi says President Trump is partly to blame for legitimizing the white nationalism that exploded in Virginia last weekend.

Same - craziest thing is that my research focuses on fascism and the white supremacist movement, so I’m immersed in it AT LEAST 9 hours per day — and it’s become so normalized that it’s beginning to drain me (which is fucking horrifying!).
Words that cross my mind on an almost daily basis at this point....
I tapped out after opening the first exchange.
If I don’t take a short break from fascist bullshit tonight, I’m going to implode.

If you ask for consideration of your feelings in a situation that impacts you but it’s seen as an attack — value yourself enough to absorb the clarity of that message.
Save your finite, valuable energy resources for something that might stand a chance of benefitting the collective good instead.

Seems to me that, right now, the whole “threat of organized starvation” should outweigh “threat of organized shoplifting” in terms of collective threat newsworthiness

No one can afford to lose sight of the fact that it’s *not* “I protect us, but “WE protect us” — for a reason.
Language’s immense subconscious power is revealed by when we actively render it visible.
Language choices create, frame, reinforce, and can change our collective reality.

It may sound insignificant, but it’s an immensely powerful action.

Ignoring the ego only increases the power of its control, as the defensive impulse against the pain of recognition is denial.
Deliberate prioritization of “we” simultaneously foregrounds and subordinates that same power to the collective ties that a shared threat to “us” requires for survival.

Defensively shutting down over a call-out replicates the shitty power dynamics you think you’re fighting.
Black folks tiptoe around white feelings; women bend over backwards to not upset men.
REPEAT

REMEMBER
Ego is the antithesis and enemy of solidarity.

Forgot to add: expect to get called out when you fuck up, and view it for what it is: an act of love, not an attack.
Defensiveness instinct (to avoid shame) signals ego “I” attachment vs. higher “we” commitment: the collective good.
Instead:
Reflect.
Recalibrate.
Grow.

We’re in dark times already, but the stakes are growing exponentially day by day.
So it’s a good time for a reminder for all of us: performative vs. effective solidarity approaches.
Everyone needs this reminder, especially when we already “know” - the heat of the moment can make us forget.

Righteous anger against “the enemy” and the harm they cause feels so good in the moment, but we can’t allow it to drive our actions.
Otherwise, we become the mirror of what we convinced ourselves we wholeheartedly oppose.

When it comes to millionaires and billionaires, “many of these people are simply entitled, lazy, barely literate, and, like, some of them are just frankly bad people.”
But you know what? They are humans, like me, and I do not wish starvation on them.
I want us all to act justly — and that’s it.
