I think a very important point this video makes is towards the end, and it's something I often see people on "our side" trying to do: the idea that 'we' should be trying to save these misguided people from themselves.

Yes, deradicalizing can work, but only in the right situation, at the right time, and generally only if you already know the person. It doesn't work consistently enough and isn't impactful enough in the grand scheme of things to be worth it.

Time for more Legend of Legacy! I think we're at the last area before the endgame, so I'll clear that and see how I feel.

Small risk of a looooong training montage night.

Rihsa, showing off some.... advantages :3c

SPOOKY MONTH means I may just be drawing a lot of her.

Yeah, I definitely have autism, like not slightly on the spectrum. I am slap bang in it.

That explains a lot tbh

just pissed about seeing liberal/centerist normies going "Furries have standards?" without asking themselves the following up question of "And they're higher than mine?"

Hi, I'm Andrea (but Nerts is still fine)
New name & new fursona to go along with a couple other new things about me :V

Since it is hard to find articles that are positive and not ableist about how autistic brains work, I am going to make a small thread about the main things that we know at the moment. I hope this helps any autistic people who are curious about themselves. I am not an expert, this is just what I learned from my neuroscience course. I will first explain some basics of neuroscience, for people who aren't familiar with biology, so you don't have to have any prerequisite knowledge to understand any of this :) If I accidentally leave some of the basics out, feel free to ask me to clarify. I don't know everything but I'll try my best to help :)

White supremacy is deeper than some people think

It's easy to believe that your conditions are fine, that you can put up with them. But once you get out, once you find better, and can heal and discover just how painful things really were, it's a big thing.

I'm more than grateful that I was able to get away, and even if my healing has been slow, even if I feel like I should be better off than I am by now, it's important. It really is.

@Are0h it’s all so artificial, too. These people do not need to be suffering. The housing is there. The food is there. The materials are there, but money bars them from it.

I find it interesting how the only people in this day and age who idolize Daryl Davis are the reactionaries who want to use his body of work to stop efforts to fight fascism in a much more direct way. And today he's come out speaking against antifa and how we're oh so violent.

All I gotta say is, It's only a matter of time. You break bread with fascists long enough, and eventually you'll fall into their habits and mannerisms. I need to emphasize that while Daryl Davis may have once been an ally, he is now an enemy, he's been co-opted and taken in by the modern language of neo-fascists. He's bought into the respectability politics when de-escalation is no longer a viable option today.

It's no longer the 1960's where racists are emboldened to go out and about with skinhead tattoos, and wear bedroom sheets with the Klansman logo on them. Modern fascism is a lot more subtle, insidious, subversive and dangerous, with the public image of them being the clean-cut, clean shaven models of Americans you wouldn't suspect to be out of place in the 1950's.

Remember, out and about villains are easy to identify, but the truly ugly, the truly dangerous people are the ones who hide behind virtue. Don't be fooled.

I am not lazy. You are not lazy. Stop acting like throwing such a damaging word around to write others off is okay.

Abolish "lazy".

I made a game!
