I wonder if the ideological position of "humans are the ones who destroyed the earth" is connected to the fact that the way "humanness" is defined is Eurocentric

it is interesting to see "human" mean a specific kind/conception of 'Man' except for when it comes to things like "human nature", "the Anthropocene", etc, 'Man' is decoupled from human(ity) more broadly -- "inclusivity" only seems to happen when it's time to point fingers

i wish we could have this conversation in a way that more robustly apprehends what is being reached for. the waters get muddied beyond belief when we use this kind of language and framing.
A lot of people on Twitter are not prepared to do the work of organizing normal people. Echo chambers make for radical aesthetics, but not radical action; standards for cooperation which are so exclusive that they will never weather confrontation with reality.

y’all need to be honest about this: twt is designed in such a way that builds and reinforces hierarchy. To subvert this, you can’t just tell people “don’t see me as a leader”. Just like hierarchies in meat-space require organizing to dismantle… so too do hierarchies in bit-space

This allows people to act as an atomized, ahistorical individual (surpassing material reality and responsibility in a nearly mythological way) to gain social power, reinforcing capitalism and coloniality while eroding locality, relationality, and communality.

There’s so many levels of fuckery here, but even at its most basic: robbing a term that refers specifically to and was made by/for Black trans women, just to not acknowledge them directly is comically evil, whether in a vacuum or when you take in the context of the discourse!

you say this, and maybe is seems true, at least ostensibly. but i have a question: are the bodies you're wielding against insurrection currently protected? is "democracy" providing for them? or is it using them as fuel, just like whatever fills the void will if we aren't ready?
And for all you “burn it down” folks. I promise you black people will suffer the most when democracy fails. We just got rights in the 1960s. LOL

If we are to use these values as guides, we can’t blindly “stick” to them to the point where they become rigid. If asking someone to protect their health and my health in a community space violates autonomy, then what does that value even mean? It’s starting to sound like dogma

this phenomenon is why we have to be willing to protecc and attac, rather than just assuming that if we're nice enough the power of friendship will keep things together
PSL didn't out-organize anyone. They swooped in and co-opted marches and occupations that they had little part in creating. This is what authoritarian leftists ALWAYS do. They don't create movements; they steal them. They steal valor, they steal credit, and they steal control.

I used to like the idea of a "community-based" justice system before I met a teenage girl who was being raped by her stepdad. Her neighbors banded together to tell her not to report him. Later, after she did report him, they showed up in court to support him.

need y'all to understanding 2 things:
1. policy is epiphenomenal. if it becomes law, it was already happening, for good or for ill
2. acceleration doesn't lead to action--we end up in the most advantageous situations when we build autonomous power irrespective of politics.

The state is the body through which the civil functions of society are monopolized in the hands of a narrow set of functionaries. There has never been a state representing the people, because that's a fantasy. Lenin was delusional.
