Aren't you on teh front line of all this shit already?
You've got date-stamped bona fides if anyone comes privilege-checking.

its just so hard to keep up

like...rights for women, blacks and gays now? all at the same time? there's no logic to it

It is a bit, I suppose. When it doesn't affect you directly.
I just give money and the odd dig out to them. Except the gays. They're in pretty good shape at this point, literally (hey-oo!)
Although I did paint my friend Chris's living room before his wedding - for nothing! (well, a pizza).
I'm saying that totally counts as political involvement in furthering the cause.

 

[nooleen]

...keep fighting the good fight, brother

One fight at a time, or go have your own fight about your own issues on your own platform.
Progressive politics are as much hampered by their own internal divisions and schisms as they are by what they're fighting against.

And the beat goes on

Don't Piss on Your Best Friend

Lefty activists undermining those they have common cause with, diminishing them both. Been happening since forever.

Go shout at someone who deserves it.
Preach it

I'm all for Bernie. Liked his FB page and everything.

Ban Sex Work? Fuck Off, White Feminism | VICE | United Kingdom

 

[Lili Marlene]

Legalize prostitution, ban Vice

hey I made the world a better place

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

White Feminism is a special club but membership doesn't rest solely on race. White Feminism is about privilege. Ladies who lunch and feel hard done by because a man held the door open for them on their way in to the Four Seasons.

The insight here. Razor sharp.

 

[nooleen]

and yet you think minorities shouldn't be 'undermining the cause' by looking for representation on the left

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Well, this lady's argument seems to be 'fuck you, you're white and what would you know? I fucked your Dad'. And Kate Winslet hasn't a clue cos she's white and eats lunch.
The BLM protest yesterday was of the same order, except Bernie would essentially be on the same side of most issues as the protesters, so it's more dispiriting.
In 2015, there are many ways to get a message out, increase visibility and have your voice heard. I haven't heard the case made that disrupting and dismissing the best efforts of your fellow travelers is the best way forward.
Shouting down probably feels good when you're angry about something, but I'm not convinced it does a whole lot for either message.

speaking up, shouting down, what's the difference

speaking up, shouting down, what's the difference

Plenty or none at all, I suppose. Probably depends on the context or your POV.

Bernie was prevented from speaking in the first place. So I'm not even sure if that's either.
Meryl Streep basically got told she's white and could go fuck herself and her opinions are for shit. Maybe that's both? But she wasn't there, so maybe neither?

 

[nooleen]

that's fine, but you're referring those incidents back to someone mentioning intersectionality on twitter as if they're equivalent

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

someone mentioning intersectionality

Was it not something about that the argument the person (a lady made a video about an anti-woman issue, I think) was making was somewhat invalid because she was white cis?

I have seen neither the video nor the comment.

Do we have to question the bona fides of everyone from Lena Dunham to Bernie Sanders to video lady every time they speak on anything at all?
The reactionary right seems to be doing a good job of that already.
