I'm super confused. I don't know if I'm one of the two absolutists. The nobody naming anybody has reached absurd levels and honestly feels like a rhetorical trap at this point π€¨
Band-aid off, I was talking about Ro being a bully to someone I know for a fact didn't deserve it, while Ro is simultaneously doing good work.
I paraphrased Andrea Chalupa, a Ukranian American, who when talking about violent resistance against Nazis, which she supports, and self-defense, which she supports, she gave a LOT of context on why Ukraine was specifically well suited to a militant resistance, why that isn't a universal recipe, and why you get more than you bargain for almost always in a bad way, when you let the attack dogs take control of the revolution. So, Andrea advocates for the more peaceful strategies while acknowledging that even Dr. King questioned his earlier pacifism.
Nuance. Nuance. Nuance. In case it works like Beetlejuice.
