Conservatives Don't Have Any Defense For Their Kids When It Comes To Actual Groomers/rapists.

A comrade with whom I'm organising a divestment initiative in solidarity with Palestine shared the below in our group chat:

The current events in Palestine have prompted a large number of filmmakers to make their films about Palestine available to watch online for free, in addition to films previously available.

A large group of Palestinian films that were released on the Palestine Films website to document the Palestinian film:

“think of this when people say voting doesn’t make a difference”—it doesn’t make a difference when the party you vote for is not interested in wielding power on behalf of their constituents and back down whenever marginally challenged.

Enemies vs cowards

With few exceptions, it is more accurate to divide most politicians into two broad categories: Enemies, and Cowards. The enemies are those politicians who are legitimately opposed to your policy goals. The cowards are those politicians who may agree with your policy goals, but will sell you out if they must in order to protect their own interests. Embrace the idea that we are simply pushing to elect the cowards, rather than the enemies. Why? Because the true work of political action is not to identify idealized superheroes to run for office. It is, instead, to create the conditions in the world that make it safe for the cowards to vote the right way. Under this framework, you can set aside the tedious feelings of disappointment that come with holding moral views while also supporting any politician. Will your favorite candidate do something bad? Almost certainly. After all, they are cowards. The onus is on us to give the cowards a soft path to the moral choice. The education necessary to equip citizens with the facts; the persuasion necessary to move public opinion to the right place; the organizing necessary to mobilize people to fight for the right thing. These things are the substance of “politics.” Elections can be seen as just another organizing task, one in an endless procession of efforts necessary to arrange the chess pieces of power in a way that will, eventually, produce the righteous outcome.
