#they shouldn't be made to feel guilty for not starving themselves for any cause

[ryanthedemiboy]

Fuck guilt "activism" -- it makes you feel guilty for spending a penny on anything that isn't going towards a specific cause. Food? Guilt. It could go to children. Decent toilet paper? Guilt. Pizza? Guilt. Pet necessities? Guilt. Saving up for a necessary surgery? Guilt.

Making people feel guilty about shit does not an activist make. You can do great shit for important causes while also not making people feel guilty for existing.

#i am bedridden and am trying to save up for surgery on my back #everything i can't save my parents will have to take from their credit card #which have high af interest rates btw #and fun fact: people need food #they shouldn't be made to feel guilty for not starving themselves for any cause #and the pizza. wanna know something? #my parents have me buy it with THEIR MONEY #Their money would never in a million years go to most causes that are important #i can only sometimes control WHERE we get it #and yet i feel horribly guilty for it #and i'm tired of it! #activism centred around guilt are bullshit #among many other things they burn people out #i'm still crawling back from being burn out in 2017 or so #i can't open activist emails no matter how much i want to #i am only just starting to be able to send emails again #i haven't gotten back to being able to make phone calls #activism means pacing yourself and taking time away from it to recover #if you burn out you're useless as an activist #guilt-based activism is a fast-track to burnout #i'm going to stop frustratedly rambling now
