  I remember Andrewism’s take on Luddites dispelling a lot of common misconceptions (and results of propaganda, iirc) on the topic

  Fwiw (I sure hope this is not an empty platitude), as a trans woman who’d love to be able to feel safe outside of cities in blue states, who very much knows and experienced that it’s not free:

  You’re absolutely right.

  I read this back early 2016, been reeling from it ever since: morecrows.wordpress.com/2016/05/…/unnecessariat/

  We have been divided by the american mythod of “pinko city slicker vs rugged indvidualist rednecks” and the truth is it’s all so the boss can take the whole plate of cookies, while scapegoating your brown/queer/whatever co-worker “He’s gonna eat your cookie”

  I refuse, at least for my inner child anyway, to surrender the love I have for my fellow common person, regardless of where you’re from. Sweeping generalization.

  There’s lots of blame to go around. Big Pharma, Politicians, the way in which the midwest and south’s entire economies that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor.

  I blame them, not you. I see you. We are not alone. There has got to be a better way.

  Not downvotin but ill bite.

  Dont self-hate. There’s so many self-proclaimed misogynistic chauvanists to hate.

  You offer your humanity. That is unique and not about the gender binary.

  Your intrinsic traits mean people are more likely to listen to you.

  You get to be inclusivity batman

  Gender is made up. A social construct used to divide, for the purpose of economic imperialism. If youre up for a book:

  Self-love is needed if you’re going to uplift others. Your intentions seem to be in the right place. Meet that with humility, humanity and accountabilty to learn and grow from mistakes and you’ll do fine.

  One more thing that feels relevant, a sentiment from a friend:

  I think that a lot of people on the left are focused on the idea of forgiveness coming from the people who were wronged, but I think that’s a misguided notion. It’s not my place to seek forgiveness from those I have wronged, and I don’t have any obligation to forgive those who have wronged me. I think that the harsh reality is that we live in an unjust world, where justice only exists if we fight tooth and nail for it, and will it into existence with our choices and actions.

  So then if you believe what you’re saying, be a part of the fight to make our grass the greener
