Never forget, there is no acceptable form of resistance to oppression.
If you use physical violence in response to violence you will be told you’re just as bad as your oppressor.
If you destroy property as a form of direct action you will be lumped in with looters and hooligans and told that invalidates your cause.
If you block traffic, or engage in other forms of nonviolent nondestructive civil disobedience, you’ll be told that you’re getting in the way of struggling people that just want to do their job and collect a paycheck.
If you physically impede nothing and no one, but use only signs and shouts, you will be told that if your position held any weight you’d be able to debate people and convince them to your side.
If you argue calmly with people in public, using reason to explain yourself, you will be told that you’re just as annoying as the people you’re arguing against. Or that you need to be nicer. Or that its your fault that your abusers are acting the way they do because you’re not convincing them in the right way.
If you do nothing but simply exist as you are, you’ll be told that your existence is an inconvenience for other people or a problem for society.
If you go out of your way to hide yourself then you’ll be told that any problems you have are your own fault because you didn’t do more to solve them.
Well put.
To those getting “yes but” thoughts - which would’ve been me included, some ten years ago - it is unreasonable - perhaps even unethical - to demand restraint, dictate procedure or moralize marginalized people’s fight for liberation.
I’m not sure the cops can guess the gender by the way a brick hits them?
Is the brick pink or blue?
Ah yes, a gender reveal brick 😁
Fuck That
break the tools of the oppressors
Welcome to how women are spoken to
They claim we aren’t women, but the way the treat us does not lie
“WelComE tO WoMAnhOoD!”
Just so you know, that’s generally considered an extremely patronising thing to say. Don’t be surprised if anybody tells you to fuck off if you continue to make similar remarks in the future.
Wasn’t my intent sorry. I’m autistic and sometimes I don’t understand the inflection of some things, thanks for letting me know.
I’m relieved that that’s the case here. Thank you.
I think this is mostly satire though…
This post is definitely satire but they are satirizing people who genuinely think these things
Is it satire with a much more firm titanium alloy hammering with a wide peen impacting more than any heads left to count?
Or better yet, If we burnt Stark’s Mani like the Ledger’s Joker and no rich sucker trick-fooled every real skill to undo the only one that came here to keep life from committing this obvious collective suicide (and not just ours but at a Cosmic Cohesion) we might not even need Thanos to do the dirty work since the place wouldn’t be poisoned, like DuPont.
What
IK. I lost count of the cognitive dimensions I sort through. Hard to word any of it in this crippled language in development. I try to allude but…shrug…sooner or later. I’m a stranger from a strange infinite dimensions other than you. If that bothers you, I have no apology. It’s way more complicated than that word even alludes too.
Alright have fun with that
Have fun with learning and sarcasm!
I wasn’t being sarcastic, I don’t get your whole deal but I hope you have fun with it :)
Cause violence solves violence all in the name of peace.
Ah yes. A trans woman getting angry that her existence is hanging in the balance, is remotely equivalent to the violence of the system and oppressors on the trans women.
Every fight for more rights for more people has had this tension.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

You’re the one assuming violence. All this post mentions is anger being seen as coming from “socialized male violence.” Are you saying that us getting angry is tantamount to us getting violent, or do you just want to shove your own self righteousness into a conversation where it doesn’t belong?
On one hand sometimes yes you have to use violence to gain peace which sucks but is what it is, and on the other hand when I’m out there I’m not fighting in the name of peace I’m fighting for my rights as a human.
