**Sidenote: I also know how it feels to try to explain unkindness to a 4 year old. Try it. Try explaining any one of the current human-rights-eating policies and beliefs floating about now to a preschooler. Good luck.**

Stop saying "it's not polite to talk about politics" and start NOT acknowledging the people who have brought their opinion with them like a festering, stinking, rotting head on a platter. Stop letting them waste our energies on stupid shit (like hating on socialism) when we have actual problems.

Guerrilla warfare means I'm going to say the words "you don't have to earn your worth" until I fucking choke on them, if needs must. It means we stop blaming the people who have the least while we amplify the people who have the most. It means we stop fucking allowing it.

you can't fucking tell what gender they are because they don't care whether you can pinpoint it or not.
Guerrilla warfare means you don't get to tell me kids should only be able to eat if they earned it. Guerrilla warfare means you don't get to tell me that immigrants are why everything sucks.

It just doesn't cut it for me anymore to give people space to think that another human being doesn't deserve to feel safe or happy or fucking HUMAN bc they are from another country or they are poorer or they are black or they are trans or they are female or

I know the way the fetters feel when what you ARE is against someone's beliefs but it is still what you are and/or what you were given without choice or agenda

I know the scripts by heart. I've studied them like another country. I grew up in the folds of the script, my throat so full of the words and the meannesses that didn't match the words that I choked and didn't speak at all in public for years.

It means I am done fucking around and allowing dickery to be your opinion if it is ACTUALLY just excrement.
I'm done letting people be nice when it isn't actually kind.
