BY FAR the left’s biggest failure on COVID was failing to advocate for PUBLIC solutions. Imagine what a national coalition of socialists, unions, & disability advocates could’ve accomplished on indoor air quality standards, workers comp, sick leave, health care, research, etc
No, but like seriously it’s really crazy how fascistic leftists sound when it comes to disabled people talking about precautions or accessibility. Y’all really need to check that cause yikes.
@enchandted That’s such a disgusting thing to say to someone. I don’t understand why men particularly react this way when someone admits being 🍇’d. Also, I was not aware of that you went through it TWICE! That’s two times too many 🫂.
Looks like there is another PS survey making the rounds. Not directly aimed at the disc situation, but you can still share your thoughts: https://t.co/lVrycOTFo0
Hasan Piker had a heart-to-heart with his community about the power of being 'normal' with the goal of bringing people to our side. It's important to be palatable. He also talked about the dangers of gatekeeping and about why it's important to extend olive branches to those unfamiliar with leftist and socialist ideology: "It's probably unhelpful to make it even less accessible if we are feeding into the preconceived notions of what it means to be a socialist; an annoying woke-scold. I've never done that and perhaps that is a major part of the reason why this community is the size that it is. Throughout many different hinge points when this community has grown, there have always been people that have demanded a retreat over and over again. 'Why are you welcoming these new people? They are reactionary. Why are you welcoming these new people? They are ableist. Why are you welcoming these new people? They are racist and transphobic.' Some of those people we have welcomed with open arms and they have changed their minds over time. Is your goal to have the perfect safe space where no one disagrees with you? Or is your goal to build a mass movement? Purity testing, taking a morally righteous, maximalist position; these are poisonous for community development. Poisonous for organizing."
One of the biggest shocks I’ve experienced during adulthood was the fact that life is a highway is technically a country song I didn’t believe it because the song just seemed too good and enjoyable to be a part of that genre, but alas, it is.
