Even when antifascist action is directed at a body, it has a goal--to reject fascism's growth and its hostile effect on the marginalised--and does not particularly value the body it's directed at as a 'leader' of 'fascism', just another pair of bloody boots in its march.

One doesn't dismantle those structures by simply deposing a handful of members of the Legion of Doom. One opposes their structures, gums up the gears of their harmful public apparatus, and publicly stands with communities harmed by their actions.

Consider the inverse: capitalism, patriarchy, even 'the alt-right' doesn't have an obvious lateral hierarchy. But the radical work of opposing it doesn't care about individual or even group bodies, but the structures behind them that permeate in & further harm the marginalised.

I can't help but think about what people mean when they speak hostilely about 'Antifa' and its 'members'.

When they say they want to 'stamp out Antifa', they really mean "here's what you get for opposing our brutality".

When we say 'fuck the police', we really mean "fuck a world where a man with a gun or a billy club has power over his neighbour."

Which of those is truly violent?

THEM: gender critical

ME: I agree, modern perceptions of gender and their stereotypical roles are outdated, and something to be intensely critical of. The entire concept of gender as it currently exists in the mainstream, particularly as a simplistic and fixed binary which correlates with a comparably simplistic view of sexual dimorphism, should probably be heavily revised, if not completely abolished

THEM: no not like that

THEM: sex not gender

ME: You're right, there are a lot of people with chromosomal combinations who don't get enough representation, and people with X, XXY, XXYY, and XXXY combinations among others, deserve proper acknowledgement in both education and popular culture. Not to mention people with XX and XY chromosome combinations which don't match their physical primary and secondary sexual characteristics

THEM: no not like that

So this hacker made a script that fills the website with junk data in an attempt to make it useless.

abuse & oppression tactic to watch out for: DARVO 

abusers / oppressors will:

Deny the abuse took place

Attack you for daring to point it out

and then Reverse Victim and Offender

example:

“I did nothing wrong! And how dare you accuse me when you are actually terrible yourself! Why are you attacking me, you monster!”

keep an eye out for all the times people in positions of power do this to silence those they have harmed, it’s constant and it’s everywhere, you might even be doing it yourself

Do you want Blk ppl to stand a chance in society or not? Otherwise, no body cares.
