Don’t be fooled by some who are constantly crying “harassment” and “feeling unsafe” while they comfortably support the oppression of the most marginalized.

Too much fake out here!

mycelium - notes on imperialism

in online leftist spaces the overlap between solidarity for victims of western imperialism and solidarity for victims of non-western imperialism appears diminishingly small. the same is true of activist spaces i'm involved with in real life. 1/

western and non-western victims, and the us, western europe, israel, china, russia etc. can all be as bad as each other. decolonial and anti-imperialist solidarity means we stand with all oppressed peoples, so we go back to that tired old saying - 8/9

syrian writer leila al-shami writes of an 'anti-imperialism of idiots' - that group of self-proclaimed leftists who equate imperialism with the actions of the usa alone, and in the process fall in with fascist states sporting minimally 'socialist' aesthetics. 5/9

So while they were claiming to prioritise hostages they were confidently inking construction deals.

It was *always* a settler-colonial project which required genocide at its foundations.

Goalposts for online hate shift according to who the victims are

On the topic of gender-affirming care bans for minors:

MAYBE, just MAYBE, conservatives who care about small government, personal freedoms, parent involvement etc, should be concerned about governments putting themselves between families and the healthcare their kids need.

When people harming vulnerable groups with deliberate one-sided narratives whine about being called out + call accountability “harassment” — while this is what harassment looks like in my world.
But false equivalence to further target victims is fun.
It’s called privilege.

can't wait for EDI industry to topple.

Watching brown, savarna & Black ppl esp women who are authorizing genocide, and suspending students, and endorsing police repression, and marketing arms sales..

is a stark reminder that diversity™ is the neoliberal management of fascism.
