"Inbred Of The Day!" Agent Orange has put air in these mthfkrs chests...!

If I may add to the discussion, I think a big issue with online activism is that people are so concerned with looking like a good person that they don't understand the reasons why someone might do something that technically goes against leftists principles. It's so easy to judge someone for not boycotting certain establishments that are objectively bad (and I'm all for boycotting if possible don't get me wrong!) but people often seem to forget that not everyone has the means to boycott. Where I live, the only way I can get basic necessities is often through Amazon or other big retail chains. I'm not proud of it but I literally don't have a choice right now. Like you and a couple of the other anons have said, a big issue with online activism is that people are so concerned with doing things that they believe are the markers of a good person that they forget that part of being a good person means being open to conversations and understanding why people do or don't do things. And this includes the people they have deemed as "bad people."

Yes that is a good point! 'There is no ethical consumption under capitalism' is not an excuse to never even try to be ethical in your choices, but it's also not actually a progressive position to demonize people with no effort put into understanding their practical, structural realities.

Shooting ICE agents doesn't violate their rights at all in many cases, particularly in recent cases. The main moral/strategic reason to not shoot ICE agents is that it would risk escalation. But if ICE is escalating anyway, then past a certain point, this reason goes out the window. It might well be good if more people shot back.

ICE agents often act in ways that make them look like random thugs anyway, and it is often okay or good to shoot random thugs in self-defense and in defense of others. On a personal emotional level, morals aside, I want ICE agents to be afraid they might get shot, and I want them sometimes to get shot. I think this is sometimes morally good as well, though I leave it an open question how often.

I'm saying this on Tumblr and not on Facebook, because I think I'm entitled to say it, and I am less afraid of getting in trouble on Tumblr than on Facebook.

JK Rowling decided to continue denying Nazi persecution of trans people, so I updated the list to 55 names I could personally confirm the status of. Added some new colorized photos, too! This is only a fraction of 160+ known trans individuals located by activist Jako Wende, which itself is a fraction of the true scope of anti-trans persecution during the Third Reich.
