Any server admin/mods that take-down #MutualAid posts, I need you to sit your ass down and ask yourself these questions:
"Why do you believe yourself the judge on if a mutual aid request is real or not?"
"Why do you get to decide who receives help or not?"
"Do you understand what mutual aid is?"
"What do believe community is?"
"Do you understand how mutual aid holds up communities?"
Mutual aid is essential to the survival of a lot of people, okay?
Please read Mutual Aid by Dean Spade.
I ask these because most admins/mods claim to be Leftists/progressive. So then, show us where you stand.
Society drills into us that humans only have worth if we:
1. Work and "earn" our keep
2. "don't rely on" others
3. Those in need are unworthy of survival
These things were created for capitalism to alienate us from bonds of community, so we don't rise up to tear it down and build anew. All three are false.
Mutual aid breaks that alienation. It's essential to our liberation.
Support it.
