He crosses my mind like constantly. I was radicalized by the Mike Brown wave of BLM but Tamir is the one that got to me especially. He was fucking 12, and got gunned down on broad daylight, and there was no justice.

I just. I cant get over it. I dont even think I should.

(I felt weird asking this while we were still federated, probably should have but i didnt want bad faith actors or to myself make t he situation worse)

To be fair to our autistic women and enby comrades, Its pretty much always been autistic men, but still.

You have no idea how many times I've been like "hey dont say that, thats ableism/a slur" and them be like "get over it/grow a spine/just words" and when I confront them about the fact that i'm autistic they'll say "I am too, so what?".

Just look at my post history right now. There's one I'm arguing with right now.

it happens over and over.

I'm not a libtheo, I'm agnostic, but I do have some christian roots and find some of the things attributed to Jesus to be good advice, and this quote I think is the best of all. Its good advice for just like... life in general. But I also wanted to comment on its relevance to our disagreements with liberals on geopolitics.

When we bring up the problems in the west, we're accused of Whataboutism, but what we're trying to do is remind these people that you have problems on your home turf, focus on that before worrying about problems you dont even have much power to influence at all. Unless you're literally Russian, and I haven't run into anyone in the Fediverse who is, don't worry about Russia's problems. Worry about whatever the problems in your home country are. Worry about the things your country are doing, both domestically and overseas. If you are American, worry about America's domestic problems and America's foreign policy problems. I think this is ESPECIALLY important for the propaganda issue. I have no idea why these liberals are more afraid of Russian or Chinese influence than they are against the propaganda coming from the places that they live in. The government that actually has power over their lives.

To be clear, I'm not against Socialist internationalism, I think its good. But I think focusing on the home turf is the right thing to take.

I realize this is kind of a slapdash post and not perfect. I'm sure holes could be poked in it even from people on my side. But I think in a general sense its good advice and central to what our disagreements with liberals on geopolitics are.
