This is your periodic reminder that it's possible for multiple people to be right at the same time. It's possible for multiple people to be wrong at the same time.

It's possible for people to be right about some things and wrong about others. It's possible for people to be kind in some situations and cruel in others.

It's possible to be oppressed and an oppressor. It's possible to be abused and an abuser.

It's possible for people to have equally valid needs that fundamentally conflict. It's possible for people to have worldviews that cannot be reconciled.

It's possible to have good intentions and do harm. It's possible to have bad intentions and do good.

People are complicated, the world is complicated, and simplifying everything down to a black and white worldview where some people are Bad (and therefore incapable of being right or kind or good) and some people are Good (and therefore incapable of being wrong or cruel or bad) is only going to cause harm.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled Tumblr.

The sad thing is that this should be a satire thing but it really isn't.

The democratic party leadership isn't actually filled with 5th column conservatives. But what it is filled with is people who have been patholigically conditioned to find compromise at every step.

They've been convinced, since JFK got his dome popped, that the only way to do business is to court the right because the Left has no choice but them, and because young leftists just won't turn out to vote.

That's obviously not the case, or if it was, it was because they screwed the pooch every time.

So they can't really conceive that energizing your voting base by offering actual policy changes and pushing for things that aren't compromises with a group of extremeists who make up barely an 8th of the nation but have gerrymandered their way into power is the answer.

Edit: Wow a lot of people are reblogging this, but I think I do a better job of explaining all of this in a follow up post!

pretty sure the context makes this better. irish band kneecap have been in the news for their full throated support of palestine and ensuing censure by uk politicians. one of their members is being charged with supporting terrorism for allegedly flying a hezbollah flag. glastonbury festival refused to boot them from the lineup.

the bbc announced premptively that they would not be broadcast live at glastonbury, and recordings would be made available later. presumably expecting kneecap to chant something political. unfortunately for the bbc they did end up broadcasting bob vylan leading the crowd in the death to the idf chant.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

Maybe spread this link compassionately in online spaces where these people might see it. This is extremely important.
