Something notable in this article is how much the life long locals don’t seem to give a shit. Which was an entirely predictable outcome if you've spent any amount of time among people like this

The Civil Rights Movement and the Gay Marriage movement both emerged out the deliberate construction of thick social institutions to bind oppressed, atomized ppl with the same problem together.
From there, you can get the strength to win political wars. Without it, you're fucked.

This is an extremely precedented problem for oppressed minority communities. There are always 'better to reign in Hell' types who want to climb up by kicking the ppl around them down further.
The way groups deal with this problem is by building institutions and cultivating self-respect.

Trans ppl are not to blame for their plight. But those specific psychos *are*, in fact, to blame, in large part. Especially because they *actively* do everything they can to tear down any other trans person who wants to act like a responsible, uncloseted adult in public.

so there just isn't as much need for these paranoid excavations of "evil amongst us," the evil has just made itself highly obvious, they have flags and slogans and a political party in charge of a country. woke 2 is about power: how do we gain it back and what do we do with it after.

here's my take on Woke 2. the thing about Woke 1 is that it's born from the end of history era, when it was important to re-discover forms of oppression that had been denied or hidden. but this led to a [clears throat] hermeneutics of suscpicion, and ultimately paranoia and internecine factionalism

Wild how people like this, just like russians, still can’t comprehend that the Revolution of Dignity wasn’t staged. It was Ukrainians choosing freedom over fear. Imperialists and small minds always assume someone else must be pulling the strings, because they’ve never seen a nation with a spine.

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

It is rankest hypocrisy to claim to be a nationalist and sell off the nation's heritage. You cannot be a defender of western civilization while hawking our cultural history like so much junk at a yard sale.

“It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens—the Social Security that over 70 million Americans rely on today—would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity.”
