Mother BonesLooking forward to seeing everyone's #NoKings photos and placards
I am so tired of hearing "It does nothing" YES IT DOES. It's not the be-all end-all but it's ONE of the things that gets more and more people involved. AND it influences elected officials. Social attitudes are a big part of what has to change.
Cookiefiend@_L1vY_ I just read Dr. Stacey Patton's essay on why it's all just white-people feel-good performative bullshit. Deep, deep sigh.
@LPerry2 She's allowed to feel discouraged 🤷🏻♀️
Misuse Case@_L1vY_ @LPerry2 Not sure if decarceration activist Marianne Kaba would approve of me bringing her up in this context, but she said something to the effect that you can’t know which protest tactics will “work” or in what way, so you should try them all.
Personally I think some of the tactics from the 70s, especially from second wave feminism, are now mocked and derided so that people don’t dare to try things.
@MisuseCase I think anything women do is mocked.
