"In the coming year, things will pop off. When they do, someone will volunteer to do security. They will possibly show up with a lot of battle rattle and a take-charge, can-do attitude.
Do not let them do security. Ask them to read some bell hooks. Ask them how many women they know trust them. Ask them to do some reproductive labor first, like working in a kitchen. Talk to them in depth about political theory. Understand their motivations and their relationship to violence and power.
Over half of people who want to do security, are people who should never do security. The biggest red flag for weeding out bad security people, is that they are eager to do security."
Exactly.
And losing your shit over the mere suggestion of being asked that question is so much more than a flag, it’s a red flashing neon banner with alarms going off.
Yet those with the most fragile of egos and most privilege (which they refuse to even acknowledge) to lose simply can’t help but tell on themselves.
It’s actually pretty fucking effective!
