Ī@skeletor it is hard to do that
B Haas@skeletor I'm glad Skeletor is inspired by Mariame Kaba. Here's info about her book for anyone who'd like to learn more: https://chicagoreader.com/arts-culture/let-this-radicalize-you-mariame-kaba-kelly-hayes-haymarket-books/
āLet this radicalize you rather than lead you to despairā
In Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care, Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba ask organizers to retire their inner cynic and imagine what could exist instead. Out this month through Haymarket Books, Let This Radicalize You is filled with lessons from Hayes and Kaba, both longtime organizers and movement educators. The [ā¦]
Notthesmartestguy@skeletor radicalization is an expression of despair not an alternative. Be the light, do the work, stand firm.
JP@Notthesmartestguy @skeletor when people do those things, one of the most common outcomes is that they get called by "radical" by people who are scared of the concept of standing for anything. respectability and reasonableness got us to the current moment of darkness and they will not get us out of it. you should reflect on why it was your instinct here.
I spent a long time mad. I volunteered for voting judge I talked to everyone I knew about politics. It changed nothing, it made nobodyās life better. But it sure isolated me.
Instead I tried a new tactic. Donating to food banks and blood helps people now. Building community lifts everyone. Helping you and yours feel safe and calm during this time helps all of you.
Being upset all the time aids no one, and keeps you upset and easily manipulated.
@Notthesmartestguy @skeletor do you think being radicalized means being upset?

As someone with real honest-to-goodness major depression, I can 100% guarantee that despair is not even closely related to radicalization, except in that they often share causes.

Iām sorry you have major depression, I have loved ones fighting that battle and I hope you are getting the help and support you need.
Having said that, everyone can feel despair of some flavor, if not to the extent that some do.
Tisha Tiger / Neliger@skeletor I'll do that when radicalization brings more good than harm, which is never.
KingsxBlood@skeletor but I've already accepted the despair.
@skeletor If you were already radicalised, this is your sign to start organising to engage in bold revolutionary action.
tinydoctor@skeletor I'm already radicalized. Despair is irrelevant. Love you, #inspirationalskeletor.
@skeletor god the absolute weenies in the replies to this
Stevie Inghram, ND, MS@skeletor Already there!
jasper89@skeletor seems like poor wording now that so much ink has been spilled to get everyone freaked out and laws spun up to go after āradicalizedā groups and label such as ādomestic terroristsā with further legal ramifications.
Geez, maybe people should stop encouraging vindictive politics when it is good for āmyā team. The shoe will ALWAYS be on the other foot at some point.
lesdmark@skeletor I see some people in the replies don't understand what the term means or the way it's being used in this context. Suprise, Suprise.
Tiny Gamer AlecSkeletor continues to be right!
Wombat For Hire@skeletor Instructions unclear, I've skeletonized instead
