Same, I'd read it quite a while back and it was an eye opener, and "we want accomplices not allies" stuck with me, a few interactions I'd had recently made me want to post it lol

It's a shame that those who need to read it most won't, or will but find ways to distance themselves (like "oh, well this is about being an ally to Indigenous people so it doesn't apply to me, someone who claims to be any ally to [insert other marginalised group here]") as if these principals can't or shouldn't be applied universally and across the board..

In any case, definitely a must read.

Whale was like "if not food, why food shaped?" 😂

Seriously though, that must have been terrifying..

Individual liberals are often actually doing things, like campaigning for ballot measures and such

So supporting the status quo.

they are simply optimistic about a system that is rigged against them. It’s kinda hard to blame them for that.

No they actively support an oppressive system, and whenever the people being oppressed by said system tell them so they refuse to change anything about their behaviour, making them actively complicit.

No one is saying they are responsible for the system existing, but they categorically can and should be held accountable for their actions in participating in and upholding it, and I absolutely blame them for their part, and those making excuses for them, for theirs.

Their, and your, complacency is complicity.

Lmfao, an ally to who, liberals? 😂

Why the fuck would I ally with those who ally with and enable fascists and are literally putting my life and the lives of everyone like me and otherwise marginalised on the line for the sake of their own comfort?

Yup, only the cat can't jump off - liberals whole shtick is that they're grasping on to it in deep desperation to avoid even acknowledging the fire, and the harm it is causing. As long as they remain (relatively, and in their own skewed view) untouched, they will never act, and sometimes even then not.

Lmfao, all you're doing here is continuing to prove the point op is making

The liberal wants their individual privilege and comfort maintained! At whose and what cost is completely irrelevant.

Well, that's one way to deflect, lmao..

E: to clarify: I am not American, nor is anyone other than liberals trying to distance themselves from criticism use its outdated meaning, in the same way "liberaltarians" no longer means "socialists" to anyone.

@FrowingFostek - this. This is the comfort, and the wilful ignorance of what a revolution entails or aims for, and fear of losing privilege and perceived superiority, that go with it.

Fascism openly in power? People being genocided? Rounded up in to camps? Stripped of their human rights for how their were born? Deprived of their bodily autonomy? Losing entire communities to climate change? Having to exist as slave labour in a "developing" (read: colonised and pillaged) country to maintain the capitalist overconsumption machine? The widest wealth inequality ever to exist? Or even "just" - your neighbours can't afford rent even with working 3 jobs? Have to choose to heat or eat because they can't afford both? Die because an insurance company refused their claim? Die because the government refused their benefits claim? Get sick and die due to pollution? And on and on and on and on and on and on.......

And then, the idea that everyone will have to work together for the benefit of everyone else? Building communities from the bottom up, and under the guidance and leadership of its most vulnerable, rather than its most privileged? Equity? Equality? Justice???

Fuck all that.

The liberal wants their individual privilege and comfort maintained! At whose and what cost is completely irrelevant.

I mean, you'd have to ask them, but from an anarchist perspective I would say the comfort in the familiarity of the (hierarchal, capitalist, statist, patriarchal, white supremacist, cis heteronormative, ableist) status quo which they are dedicated to upholding.

Anything material it provides is there to placate the population in to not rising up against those in power who exploit and destroy both planet and population for personal gain, and a really bad deal for at least 95% of the global population.

I can see 2 different versions of it from the same interface, depending on where I look, there's obviously an issue with it, so yeah, it gets a little old when people keep making the same tired joke lol (which tbf, you didn't)

If the only mod on a Lemmy community is inactive is there any point in posting there? Or should I make a new commuinity?

They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.

To add to this, if OP doesn't actually want to become moderator of the community themselves, there are still other options - the instance admins can transfer the community moderation to a third person (I seem to remember there was even a dedicated community for finding new mods to take over dead communities), or they could potentially find a similar community on another instance.

Retail giant Monsoon's CEO calls on UK to scrap tax loopholes benefitting competition, so he can continue to exclusively use them himself

FTFY

The CEO, like all CEO's is concerned with his own companies profit margin, noting else, but especially not "fairness".
