Dem congressional candidate assaulted by ICE agent
Kat is one of the few people with a political spotlight that is doing something. Sure, she's a liberal trying to fix a broken system from within; but you can't say she is one to only give speeches and not participate in active resistance.
Try to remember, anyone who takes an active role in resistance and who isn't preventing other forms of resistance is an ally.
Love your profile pic. "I'd rather live my life as a farm yard pig than be a fascist" -Porco Rosso
Ah, thanks for reminding why she is still at theatrics of protest that started 22 years ago.
I’d say political theatrics.
Care to elaborate here? I would never prevent a liberal from making a fool of themselves, like Kat is exemplifying, but how do you actually resist 90% completion of fascism?
If you don't understand the difference between resistance and obedience, then no. You aren't able to recognize an ally and I won't continue the conversation as I don't think it will be productive.
For anyone else reading this, please look up the Wikipedia page for Lateral violence/horizontal hostility
Please recall that 🇺🇲 is an illiterate empire, so you have to precise what differences you mean here. Because both liberals and fascist have wildly different meanings to these nouns, not used in philosophy.
I am a black anarchist, so I know all 8 definitions. Which why I requested precisions.
To what? Maintaining the empire that deathcamped me? The one still praxing my genocide? How is Kat an ally to a system meant to oppress everyone but the rulers?
Faster precision: what are you trying to produce?
