Amelia 🏳️⚧️ BaeddeliaI'm coming around to the idea that #onlinecommunities based around a shared #identity can be great tools for exchanging information and coordinating the distribution of resources and in-person meetups in general but it's a terrible idea to use them as a primary #social space. 1/4
The handful of times in the last few weeks when I've had actual in-person interaction it's become alarmingly clear to me how socially starved I've been and how online stuff just isn't sating that hunger. 2/4
I have this mythical idea in my mind of #solidarity with other #marginalizedpeople, especially people who are #marginalized in the same ways that I am or similar, as a moral principle, but I think my problem is that I've been conflating the #political with the #personal. 3/4
I think now that while #politicalsolidarity with other #marginalizedpeople is vital, social and personal #solidarity is just a myth, because marginalized people are just people, no more trustworthy on an individual level than any other person. 4/4
Fugue State Machine MotoSolidarity does *not* equate to unconditional trust. I can be in solidarity with all sorts of people who I wouldn’t let borrow my laptop for the day.
In fact, if someone asks me to trust them, based on an argument involving solidarity, that’s a HUGE red flag for me.
