Self-crit, but instead it's performative flagellation for not checking your privilege that one time

They only want people to assess their inner fascism or some poo poo" It sucks because this is the largest group in the area so they're great for getting big numbers but also you can't radicalize any of them

I like to believe that it's through struggle people reach radical conclusions, and I think I've seen a lot of it myself over the past few months among the liberals I know. Getting them out there is a key step, and I wish you the best of luck convincing them to do it.

Getting them out there is a key step, and I wish you the best of luck convincing them to do it. i know they organized a protest at the airport after the travel ban, but i dont know what else they've done. im on the mailing list just so i can keep an ear to the ground about them and most of it is like CALL YOUR REP poo poo i think the idea was to organize all the orgs in the area, ISO, IWW, BLM, these ding dongs, and the statewide antifa network, plus a few probably, but the odds of the ding dongs getting dragged along are minimal because i think we're just gonna get bogged down in TONALD DRUMPF sheetcake bullshit

This is an entirely local thing, no ties to a larger movement (all the other orgs going to the meeting tonight are national if not international, exception being me repping my antifa network)

About a year ago I listened to Cum Town and was really bemused and dismayed that people liked it. Then I listened again in like February and my rotting brain said "Yes. Yes this is good, to me."

Cum Town is just three friends (ish) shooting the poo poo. Don't make it more than that and it's awesome and good and pure.

Sushi in Yiddish posted:Good luck, comrade Live notes from the meeting (pasted from my notes app): Leading off with ACLU speaker - recognizing the indigenous people whose land this is. Talking about white supremacy. Honest Frank conversation. Charlottesville is a symptom of an epidemic. Lot of focus on indigenous people. Explaining systemic racism I guess and also colonialism. White supremacy is ideology, nationalism is a trend, literally made a hand tilt without meaning to. "It's bullshit that it took a white girl dying to get this attention". I'm agreeing with this guy more than I expected. Besides the white nationalism is a trend thing I've agreed with him almost entirely. Speaker from Onondaga nation's advising against erasure

ISO speaker is agreeing with all of it but also reminding us that the class war exists and how that plays into the other divides. Spending most of his intro time reminding us about the class war and the lost history of resistance. Cville is a turning point because it was the far right uniting across their differences and marching on an area where they weren't welcome. Aaaaaaaand now it's a call for nonviolent protest with no understanding that sometimes violence is necessary The co-organizer ladt is now literally calling for a struggle session jfc
