    This is also exactly the reason I had to put down Leslie Feinberg’s Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink and Blue about a page into the chapter at the True Spirit conference – it’s the same shit, and it has been the same shit for 30 years, and as long as the reactionary noise machine is enshrined in the US empire’s laws and institutions, it’s just going to keep on being this fucking endless pendulum swing where we’re either hostages or scapegoats. I guess it’s just hard to see any hope when the mask is off and the brownshirts are in the streets rounding up and/or murdering anyone they don’t like that particular day of the week.

      this is how I first arrived at socialism and was radicalized

      the pipeline was “woke SJW / nu-Athiest” -> “antifa” -> Only socialist societies are stable enough to not have fascist and reactionary movements constantly, and have the willingness to crush reactionary movements when they appear

      Takes a while after that to research Marxisms specifics and understand how everything fit together, but the initial radicalizing thrust was anti-bigotry and wanting stability, and realizing Liberals would never protect me or the ones I loved
