something i've noticed that has become really annoying in the past 10 years or so is this fad of what i've been calling, for lack of a better word, "structural whataboutism." it's that thing where, when faced with a concrete, resolvable problem in your community, your answer is to blame it on a vast, unsolvable issue of structural inequality and then throw up your hands. "there's trash all over the ground in this corner of the park" becomes "well, that's where MEN OF COLOR congregate after their 12-HOUR GRAVEYARD SHIFTS and i'm not going to support a CARCERAL SOLUTION to a CAPITALISTIC PROBLEM. WE NEED TO ELIMINATE POVERTY AND THE SUBJUGATION OF THE WORKING CLASS" and it's like okay but sis. someone still has to go pick up the trash. we don't need a carceral solution, we need more trash cans. you're not going to eliminate poverty and the subjugation of the working class and even if ya did, there would still be trash on the ground. how any of this passes for radicalism within their peer groups i simply don't understand. it's radical laziness more than anything else

I was on a canoe trip once with a river biologist who worked for the county. After we found and removed a car tire, she started talking about the annual river cleanup her department organized. From a water quality or ecological standpoint, removing shopping carts, car tires, and other macro trash from the river really wasn't that important, she said. The real threat to the river was industrial and agricultural runoff.

"But!" she said:

People who see a clean, trash-free river are more likely support laws to curb more harmful "systemic" forms of pollution. People who participate in river cleanups take pride in their work--their river!--and become evangelists for protecting it.

Immediate action leads to systemic awareness, which leads to systemic change.

Literally this.

Saying "there's no point in doing something small until the big thing is fixed" is literally just the Glorious Revolution Rapture story all over again, and it's not helpful.

there’s just something so pure about the innies in severance falling in love. they’re not living with the same social pressures to find a partner that we do. they’re not thinking about who’s going to take care of them in their old age, or who’s going to be a good parent to their children. i’ve seen people compare them to teenage romance and that doesn’t really click with me either because teenagers have their own social pressures, who’s going to elevate my social status, who are my parents going to like, who are my friends going to like…the innies don’t have any of that going on either. It’s just “wow i really like being around this person. I like the version of myself i become around this person. Being with this person gives me a better understanding of my own identity and my own humanity. Being with this person gives me a better understanding of Right and Wrong, motivating me to fight against injustice. Being with this person makes me want to be alive, despite the horrors. I’ll burn down the whole world if you try to take this person away from me. there’s nothing you could offer me that would compel me to leave this person.”

“they’re just looking at each other” you could not begin to understand the complexities involved in looking at each other

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
