Opening up your humanity lets in crashing waves of hundreds of years of suffering in your lineage and the entwined lineages of your kin near and far, and that's a pretty serious thing to process in the body and we don't talk enough about how important that processing is to effective changemaking

The purpose of pointing out systems is to give us a concrete goal for dismantling them and putting something new in place.
Our solutions need to be based on an understanding of how people turn into monsters in the first place. Leaving the systems intact will create an endless supply of new monsters

This is critical, and applicable to so much of what we see going on in the world. Don't throw the Nazis out of office; dismantle the systems that enabled them.
If you're focusing only on the people in the Epstein files, you're missing the bigger picture.

Many of the people I'm close to don't feel everything as intensely in their bodies as I do, and they just don't understand what it's like. It's really hard to explain the subjective experience of feeling the pain of the world's suffering children every day.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

UK Labour is a case study in what happens when you prioritize winning over actually standing for something. They chased the center-right so hard they’re basically just the Tories in red ties now.

The amount of Facebook pages I’ve seen post some variation of “this is a bird watching page but you can’t enjoy the beauty of nature or the spectacular birds if agents of the state shoot you repeatedly in the back” is heartening. There are a lot of people being shaken out of apolitical malaise now.

It takes a lot to program a human to hate, fear and dominate others, but several thousand years of internal and then external European colonization managed to do it.
Now children are raised with authoritarian values forced on them from day one:

Perpetuating the narrative that “men are bad” helps normalize rape culture by making it seem like it’s just inherent to their nature. It’s not.

Yes! This is what I'm saying—every crack in the system is an opportunity to welcome disillusioned people into the movement for collective liberation. The right are doing it, it's long past time we offered something better
Maybe a timely men’s support group which could help young men
“Bitcoin Bro Support Group”
A lot have lost a lot of money and maybe would be needing support- and we could steer them to positive masculinity.

Hey men and masc peeps: here are some resources for dealing with young men who need community and help grappling with their anger and violence.
How to talk to struggling men? Nonviolent Communication training is the place to start: nvcacademy.com
Starting a men's group is also a hugely beneficial step. Make sure the stated and practiced values of the group are decolonial, feminist and anti-oppressive: mensgroup.com/start-mens-g...

So, jumping off from your excellent talks about men being conditioned into authoritarian lifestyles… what would be some of the things we can say to these guys? How do we reach them? I was inspired so much by Ian McKellen’s The Strangers case yesterday, but how do we reconnect their humanity?

I feel what you're saying in my heart. I think it's very reasonable for women to focus on themselves and their healing. Myself and other people can do outreach work for the collective, and you can contribute to the movement for liberation in whatever ways you're able to. Trust us to carry the rest ❤️
To be fair, I am also pissed that women are expected to be the emotional punching bag for men, their therapist, etc. In usa, I avoid men I feel are toxic on a personal bc it could endanger my life. Women’s rights are literally under attack and lost the right to abortion.
