deleted my twitter app (not account) bc i really can’t handle the intense no-nuance high-stakes takes right now. not that here is all that much better but it’s definitely less of a time sink

#i just. #ok. #i just think if ur gonna go scorched earth on prioritizing high minded ideals over outcomes ur not actually as morally pure as u think u r #and I also think if ur gonna do that u gotta say with ur CHEST the collateral damage you’ll sign onto #both by abstaining from concrete action now and by destroying infrastructure in the name of a brighter future #im not even gonna tell you ur wrong. but i want you to say who u think is worth sacrificing #i have awful news for you the folks who don’t make it thru the revolution are very rarely the rich and healthy and connected #it’s gonna be folks who are desperate enough to fight and folks who can’t handle more instability. #poor folks. sick folks. disabled folks. disenfranchised folks. unhoused folks. #you think you can build a functioning mutual aid network from scratch during a revolution serving tens of millions? #i know it’s a nice thought that the failures of US welfare programs are Just Capitalism. and that’s a huge chunk #but it’s also because IT IS DIFFICULT. and that’s WITH billions of dollars and a chokehold on the global supply chain #im not saying any of the options are good. but when u call for revolution u gotta acknowledge ur stealing from today for tomorrow #and look hard at the folks who stand to lose the most. say you’re fine with martyring them - whether or not they agree #I’ve got myself all worked up now and i wanna post about it. to maybe share some god damn perspective. #things are bad! things are not good. unsustainable trends abound. but wow for all ur whining online #about how everyone needs to know EVERYTHING about ALL ISSUES in EVERY CONFLICT or else you are EVIL #ur missing the forest for the trees my dude. takes are easy - policy is hard #get fucked. don’t get people killed.
