Why oh why do people call a nonce relationship an "age gap"??? 🤮

That's the least of the issues with it

Yes age gaps in adulthood have complexities re the possibility of consent, but that's a world a way from children who can't consent at all

If you're a christian claiming to be one of the good, non-homophobic ones - then what are you doing to take the fight to the majority of churches actively hurting us?

Even your "Jesus" smashed up a temple. Just believing different is no threat to them, it's used as whitewashing

Please PLEASE someone tell me how having all your most secret & shameful things, your humiliations, traumas, vulnerabilities & horrors, all written out for everyone to read is more trauma informed than a one or two word label? Cause my first formulation fucked me up good & proper

@BraiththeBrave 2. People who target trans people because they are more vulnerable. So it's easier to get away with abuse. For example: the serially abusive person who told me "I have a hareem of trans women". I don't think she'd of got away with treating cis men or women like that

@BraiththeBrave Women can be chasers too! As can people who sleep with men. I guess there's two types?

1. People who are interested in trans people *because* they are trans (or: because they are pre-surgery). Less: "You have beautiful eyes", more: "I like chicks with dicks!"

I want a generation who cancels me

I want a generation who thinks I'm too liberal, too pacifist

I don't want to lead, I want to help grow a movement bigger and better than I could ever imagine. To the point I no longer belong. To the point they surpass me in every way!

[revolutionnowhere @revnowhere]

@EcoTechBro It's valid sometimes, sure. But can it veer into magical thinking?

Do means always reproduce themselves?

I mean, there must be some times when prefiguration doesn't work? Or limited cases where inconsistent means really do lead to a desired end?

[revolutionnowhere @revnowhere]

@EcoTechBro ...help. Aiming for a single organisation imo only leads to a lot of drama and trouble and wasted energy. Energy we need for the fight

Why only one, permanent organisation?

Why is the form of a party needed to "preserve memory"?

Counterexamples: unions in the southwest UK preserving memory of Tolpuddle, radical history groups like Working Class History, Bristol Radical History Group

The revolutionary party is not optional. The working class does not automatically develop a unified communist perspective through struggle alone. Capitalism fragments workers across industries, workplaces, regions, and immediate interests. A revolutionary movement requires an…

@EcoTechBro ...underpins class consciousness. Until the sum of those relationships reach the critical point where capitalist social relations might be overturned, the role of the militant minority is to grow and expand those relationships through contribution to struggle

@EstrogenChic @tonybach_ @bimbotheory Do you have a source on that?

Someone could do with updating the wikipedia 😅

...you want to be a good theorist, listen to the people around you (especially to women)

2/2

[revolutionnowhere @revnowhere]

Good theories aren't so much ideas or values, as ARMAMENTS. When your mind opens up, thinks more broadly & incisively about the struggle - that's good theory

Sometimes from a book. Sometimes a cup of tea with your friend's mum. Sometimes a blow to the head from police
