Would love to know what “active” resistance you’ve engaged in. Hope that helps.

You’re annoying and I’ve stopped caring. But it’s funny that you felt my avatar was a problem. Lol

Really terribly written response of anything, tbh.

You think millions of Americans spending their day off out in the streets is not a substantive critique on the Trump Admin? “Cheers”

I am concerned with a larger movement. Not with myself. Something you don’t seem to grasp. Sadly.

No…should I?

What working class people are doing to protest is silly. But, don’t worry—it won’t devalue whatever elites decide to do—is anything! No harm, no foul. 😊

How is the word “performative” NOT considered derogatory when used in regard to someone expressing a core belief? 🤔

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

You do see how you are directly hurting the cause, yes? Making most people feel silly and ridiculous for protesting is counter-productive to the cause. Well…to MY cause.

Not sure what your cause is?

Look. I followed Jonathan M. Katz years ago on Twitter when I confused him for Jonathan M. Katz aka “Dr. Katz.” Our politics seemed to largely overlap, and so I kept following.

Today, he crossed me. Dr. Katz would never.

Eh—I hate that I said “Karen.” The rest, I stand by.

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

If you don’t understand why it’s offensive to say that working people spending a day off protesting is “performative” then no e can help you, Karen.

This is part of my point. Who is he calling a “normie”? Does he know what the “normie” income is?!?!

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for understanding.

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, I KNOW you’re not lecturing me on etymology. 👀

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

Yes?

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

My point (largely) is that, if one’s goal is to ENCOURAGE RESISTANCE, then maybe this language is not conducive to that goal.

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

That’s how I roll.

parkism @parkism.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I’m white… 👀
