A photoset of several tweets. The conversation begins with a tweet from matt @Lubchanksy that reads:
the US is obviously hurtling into a serious “gender critical” movement and frankly i have no idea how we’re supposed to combat it given that almost nobody who isn’t trans seems to give a shit or notice
Death and the Emperor @OrionDBlack responds:
Aight imma spit real quick and hope that my FBI agent doesn’t turn my phone off. /j
Let’s talk real quick.
I kinda miss the slogan “all power to all the people”. Because “all the people” means EVERYONE. It’s inclusive. It implies that the work of deconstructing our isms is how we empower ourselves and are able to then collect under mutual interest.
All power to all the people yall.
During that time, and the time that followed, the government dedicated themselves to wedging as much bullshit between our groups as possible. Crack. AIDS. Model minorities. Super predators. It just goes on and on.
It’s just straight facts that our government is experienced in disrupting and assaulting leftist movements. All of it is on public record. Our own country is included in the collective that have been broken down and “readjusted” for the benefit of white supremacy and capitalism.
The good thing is that we know we’re getting closer, cuz they’re scared. The bad thing is that we lose lives and are pushed a few steps back. Trans people are more of a target now than we were before, and it was already bad. Disabled people. PoC. The intersections therein.
Every time class consciousness gets a little bit closer to being realized, shit like this comes out in full force. We see BLM being branded as ultra violent. We see gender critical movements get a massive flux of support. We see how disabled people are basically being euthanized.
There was a moment in Black History around the Civil Rights movement where there was a currently-unimaginable amount of coalition building. It is truly amazing to me that a letter from the Panthers talking about queer rights was signed by Mexican, Chinese, Black etc activists.
Anyway. Just do what you can. Just surviving in a revolutionary act. If you can do more, do so. We’ll figure this shit out somehow.
Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.
“You’re supposed to fear your father/parents” this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that someone told them this in the tags. Christianity as an institution is one of the biggest shelters for abusers out there and this shit right here is how they do it.
