one of my issues with white dudes specifically being weirdly combative about defending their desire to burn everything down and start over is that they know that ultimately, they will not be the ones who are sacrificed to eventually build their communist utopia or whatever
like they don’t offer a plan! and yet, as a group, they are the ones who could actually play by the fucked up rules and have power and authority to change things! but no, it is time to scold everyone else about why they haven’t passed the purity test!
they barge into your mentions after willfully misreading your posts to tell you that you’re a murderer and they refuse to tell you their Top Secret plans that will save us all
but also: lol, lmao at the guy who told me he’s here nobly representing the left
almost as funny as the guy who called me a “voice for the left”
this place has the fuckin JUICE y’all
also fuck you for making me think about politics to the point of politic-posting when my whole purpose here is to make jokes about my pussy and simp for my boyfriend!
It's a lot easier to yell at people from their high ground than it is to admit that "telling people they're bad for working on improving things" doesn't actually fix anything. The biggest frustration I have is with the idea that progress has to be all or nothing! Incremental progress is good!
Ever notice how there are no poor libertarians? That the only people who take this shit seriously are those who know with apodictic certainty that they will never face the consequences of their ideology? I feel like that should be a bigger part of the conversation.
Most of the burn-it-down men I've met also have never worked or built towards anything in their lives so they have no concept of what it would be to see it all wiped away.
Mmmhmm also mfers never consider how likely it is that the post-revolution power structure will be *worse*, probably cus it's unlikely to be that much worse for *them*.
Yea. Idk I feel like when the discussion goes this route the entire focus is on the end goal and not the work that it would take to get there. And who's to say if you gut the entire structure and start fresh you not gonna recreate the same faults. 🤷🏿♂️
