Re: Activist Communities

[(Anonymous)]

I...admit, I'm a little skeptical since you've point blank admitted that you'd, basically, police what someone of a minority decided to feel about a word that's been used in the past as a slur for that minority.

That said, my problem with most online 'activist' communities is that *everything* is black or white, and if anyone has a different point of view, then they're automatically in the wrong. I've seen way too much dog piling and attacking happen because someone said something just different enough that it wasn't ~perfectly~ the same to have much, if any, faith in them.

Plus, and this is a pet peeve, it gets to me a little the fuck out of me that they'll have a very big 'Who gives a fuck' reaction when it comes to the homeless, because it isn't a ~ glamorous~ issue.

Relevant tidbit reblogged by Maymay (http://days.maybemaimed.com/post/33028244161/one-of-the-purposes-of-discourse-is-to-normalize) "— Rebecca Crane (@wanderingpirate) October 5, 2012

“Pop social justice,” as I’ve come to call it, concerns itself primarily with the establishment of a particular party line and the mustering of social capital among adherents to defend that worldview, offering powerful human resources in exchange for compassionate freethought.

For people consumed by The Abstracted Persona of the Anti-Ism Community At Large (TAPAICAL) (http://alicorn24.livejournal.com/44922.html), “truth” and “justice” are not outcomes, methodologies, or principles. Rather, they are rhetorical swords with which to cut out dissent. For such people, “social change” is functionally synonymous with fascism or thoughtcrime."

I couldn't have put it better myself.
