yeah, this is my issue with people banging this particular drum. a lot of us are out here just surviving, that takes all the energy most of the time. and i’m lucky enough to have a roof over my head, there are those far worse off than me for whom having a “socialist plan of action” for each day is an understandably low priority compared to you know, not starving to death or dying from exposure. that’s the daily struggle for thousands in my country, many of whom are disabled also. now, as a gender gremlin, i consider my leaving the house an act of violence against the patriarchal Gender regime. i take my small achievements as they come. i read theory when i can. i wear a mask. i expend most of my energy making sure my gfs and I eat at least one meal a day. is my existence less revolutionary for being disabled and not having the capacity to physically organise like abled people can? it’s privileged shit to say, is my point.
Yeah, it was a very short sighted way to say it. Sorry. The extent to which you can make the world a better place is enough; obviously for a lot of people they are simply unable to do much more than talk to some other people, or wear a mask as you mentioned. That’s good enough.
you’re good! like i said it was obvious you were coming from a place of good faith, and we are fundamentally in agreement; phrasing just rubbed me the wrong way a bit. appreciate the reply.
