"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
"I would rather be organizing under the conditions of Biden as an opponent on an issue than Trump..."
~ AOC
Ah, the liberal mind, that contemplates organizing as a steady state, where only the conditions change, and organizing does not change in relation to those conditions.
All those masses of folk who were protesting for Black Lives and against kids in cages and for women and for science just kept on doing so when 2021 rolled around, did they?
Essentially, AOC would rather less organizing.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Key here is the word "opponent".
That you'd rather one opponent to another doesn't address the tendency to recognize one as an opponent and the other as someone who must be defended at all costs.
On same issues.
Because organizing ain't just about the issue. It never is.
Is about the commitments that those whom would organize carry with them. Idea that you can just slot one opponent in for another and not tangle with those commitments is, at best, foolish.
But ofc, AOC also has commitments.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Trust me, were 2025 to be the year of 47, many of those now vociferously defending Israel would be out on the streets denouncing ongoing genocide as a proxy for denouncing the color orange—all the while sincere in conviction of having had a come to prophet-of-choice moment to know better now than they had in 2024.
Shouldn't have to go this way—would not be better if it did.
But organizing ain't something that just happens. People ain't anywhere near as simple as that—and organizers are people.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Solidarity happens when interests converge.
Unfortunately, favorite chariot racing team is one such interest.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
If you took "lazy" away from what is written here, then yes, you are not reading.
What about "contemplates organizing as a steady state, where only the conditions change, and organizing does not change in relation to those conditions" translates to "lazy"?
You know what? I don't care.
"I don't understand how you can think what you say" is signal that you don't want to understand—you want to call out my thinking as unacceptable.
You've been asked to go elsewhere. Will not ask again.

@beadsland This is a really dumb thing to say. Apparently you were not listening.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Apparently, you are not reading.
Or perhaps you missed that this is part of a thread?
Anyway, please take your intellectual ableism to someone else's mentions.

@beadsland I don't understand. You commented on AOC preferring Biden over Trump and called her lazy. Perhaps I should have used "non sequitur" instead of dumb, but I don't understand how you can think what you say.

@beadsland Yeah organizing under Biden is being shamed by all the supposedly left liberals for not being loyal to the great leader
You don't get that sort of shame when you organize against Republican admins (when libs believe they're on your side)

@voxofgod
They won't be allowed to organize against Republicans after the next election. It'll be forbidden just as organizing to protest genocide is forbidden. As Butterball Joe says, *dissent must never lead to disorder*.
Fuck Joe Biden and fuck anyone that stands with him.
