unlike some people, the anger and frustration and lack of agency i have in the important situations that surround my intersectionalities and marginalization don’t make me decide to shame any not-perfect attempt at progress in another, less-dire area of life where i do have some agency and burn it to the ground for not being 100% good enough immediately, or for not elevating me and my suffering to the top of the suffering olympics

#everything everything everything #solidarity means something #progress is growth growth has a rate growth is not immediate #growth of institutions reshaping policies reshaping opinions reshaping content takes time time time #many moving parts many people many bad apples spoiling the bunch to prune away #progressives eating themselves aka the fascist incel pipeline by another name #it somehow pops up in every single fucking movement and it's because feelings of helplessness suck #and what's one thing that can give us a sense of control #it's being a dick #ruining something for everyone because you found a Crumb to justify your moral outrage #i'm sick of it i'm sick of it i'm sick of it #i'm sorry comrade it's called a struggle and it's not gonna be over in one day one contract one game #if you need a safe space that doesn't remind you of the struggle i'm sure there are those out there #but a place that is mostly safe but bears traces of the struggle or is showing improvement at a slower rate than you like #is not a place worth burning down #especially if the option is leaving us with nothing resembling safe at all #personal #blue vagueblogs #i haven't been sleeping because this kind of thinking poisoning the pot #and you can't beat these people with reason or inclusivity because they do not care they JUST want a chance to defy their own impotence #they JUST want a morally acceptable punching bag #they don't actually want progress they want perfection and will chop off their nose to spite their face and cripple their fellows
