Remember, many of our #fluffy activist friends are fighting for equality in worship of the #deathcult and NOT for any real change and challenge we need. This needs to be made clear to them sometimes.

We need change and challenge

Let’s be honest about something we usually skate around. Many of our #fluffy activist friends are not fighting for change. They are fighting for equality of access to the existing system.

Completely different topic, so ripping this quote out of the context from the article I just boosted:
