Many Voices United As One

The political left is missing a central voice, a central unified message.

tRumpism provides a unified identity. There is no message, just an identity where there is only binary based evangelical beliefs where no one is responsible for anyone else and no one is correcting language usage or calling out hateful bigoted rhetoric. They want to say and do and believe whatever they want.

The Civil Rights Movement had a central unified focus, to give African Americans the same citizenship rights that whites took for granted. Many other equal rights movements grew during this time period: including the Black Power Movement, Women's Movement, American Indian Movement, Rainbow "Power", and the Independent Living Movement.

With all these movements, there was still that central unified message demanding Civil Rights, justice, equality, and accessibility.

Most of our leaders from the Civil Rights Era have passed on. We need a unified voice.

Right now, the more liberal leaning movement is fractured along the more progressive younger side and the more lived experience side.

There seems to be many younger people who are bitter. They feel that the world never gave them a chance to even try to achieve a job or buy a home. Gen Z and younger Milennials have basically been told that they are screwed.

Many older people are used to doing things by themselves.

Baby Boomers grew up during the turbulent 60s and 70s. Their parents dealt with the depression and WWII. When the Baby Boomers were growing up, the economy was thriving and factory jobs could be easily found. Baby Boomers could buy homes and build equity. That world doesn't exist anymore.

Growing up, Gen Xers were left to fend for themselves. They basically raised themselves and were expected to just figure life out. They are the children of those who were young during the Civil Rights Era and those who fought in Vietnam. Gen Xers were the lackey kids where both parents worked outside the home. Surviving is what Gen Xers know how to do.

Older Milennials lean more towards how Gen Xers are.

There are generational rifts and no focus, no unified voice to pull people together.

Younger people don't seem to understand that change takes time. Things don't change instantly. Social movements take time and effort. It is about the long haul, not the instant gratification. It is about patience, assertiveness, and understanding.

It is also about not attacking people who don't agree with you or who don't agree with everything in the manner that you want them to.

Holding healthy boundaries is key. There are lines that should not be crossed. Addressing misconceptions is important, but there are people who are determined to not budge no matter what.

Lots of people in this country have been experiencing the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Many want the easy route. And soooo many don't understand what a credible source is and get much of their information, or should I say misinformation, from social media. They also want someone to blame.

There are way too many people who don't understand how things work yet insist that they do. This is a huge problem. They want to feel that they have some sort of control in an ever changing world that they don't understand.

tRumpism gives them that easy route, that sense of control, someone to blame, and the promise that things will go back to a time when they understood the world.

It is all an illusion, but an illusion that tRump supporters have united in.

The more liberal leaning side does not have an anchor.

There is no leader who is seen extreme enough for progressive liking. There are people on the left who want the illusion as well, just a different illusion.

They are against war. They want more humanitarian aid. They want the Green Deal. They want racism, ableism, and bigotry shutdown. They want the language usage changed. They want affordable homes and medical care available to everyone. And they want all this now!

The left has fractured along generational lines and there is nothing currently available that can mend that fracture.

We need to unite under that same focus that was present during the Civil Rights Era - Civil Rights, justice, equality, and accessibility for all!

This needs to be a grassroots effort as it was before, only this time we need to add climate change initiatives, because climate change and human rights are closely linked.

Intersectional approaches need to be used in this grassroots effort.

We need to unite as one voice!! That is how we fight tRumpism.

What is your mission? Hello my friend How are you today? To be asked what is my mission? I am assuming it means my purpose in life, my reason for being, my calling in life.

I do think that you should mostly still listen to BDS as far as companies to boycott go, because companies like Re/Max and AXA directly profit from the occupation. The movement in general also has widespread support among Palestinians which should not be ignored. Boycotts, divestment, and sanctions are effective non-violent methods of ending colonial violence.

However, I find what BDS in general defines as “normalization” to be flighty at best and harmful at worst. BDS actively dismissing joint Israeli-Palestinian peace activist groups like OneVoice and Standing Together serves what purpose exactly?

The arguments I’ve seen against these groups range from “they support a two state solution” to “they don’t acknowledge the reality of the power imbalance between Israel and Palestine”. The first argument is true at times, but a lot of people are looking at solutions based on a more practical view rather than what is ideal or even fair. Personally, I’m in support of a single binational secular state with equality for all citizens and proportional representation in government, but that’s just me. I understand why so many people see the two state solution as more viable, though.

As for the second accusation, I don’t think it’s true. I do think that these groups are willing to acknowledge the violence done by Hamas, for example, and the losses suffered by Israelis, which maybe is what makes people annoyed. But it’s not a zero sum game. It’s a fact that innocent civilians have been kidnapped and murdered by Hamas. It’s also a fact that the IDF is an occupying colonial force with extensive and sophisticated weaponry and a large budget, while Hamas is a comparatively small militia.

The other argument I see is that these groups are too naive, that they don’t see reality. But I think it’s the opposite; I don’t think anyone who’s actually lived through this violence can be seen as naive. I think it’s a genuine recognition that this cannot last forever, that neither Jews nor Palestinians will leave, and therefore the only thing to do is to figure out a way to coexist peacefully.

It would be one thing if BDS said “we are ideologically opposed to these groups and choose not to actively support them”. But they and their supporters have made them out to be like covert liberal Zionists who are trying to trick activists. It’s absurd, these groups are pretty transparent and open about their goals and ideology.

I’m not saying you have to support Standing Together, or even agree with them. But to dismiss them completely is foolish and, in my opinion, counterproductive.

What is Life if not a Challenge.

What are your biggest challenges? Dear friend, Happy New Year, this is day one of 2025 and the first year I have decided not to make any resolutions. There are a few reasons for my decision, number one being they don’t last. I actually feel I have enough challenges ahead of me without putting anymore strain on myself.
