The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

The worst thing about this crop of neo-fascist influencers is that they’re all evil in ways that don’t even register as meaningful to anybody not chronically online; If I tried to explain to my normie, Silent Generation parents why Elon’s “Kekius Maximus” bullshit matters, they’d have me committed.

One thing I will say gently is, I think "mutual aid" sounds academic or theoretical to a lot of people because the US education system does not meaningfully teach Black history.
Formal mutual aid societies were an integral part of how freed/escaped enslaved people helped each other survive.

This is a great thread, but what struck me about it is that my grandmother had a term for what's being described here. She called it, "being neighborly," and it was just par for the course in the small town where she lived for most of her life. "Mutual aid" sounds academic, but "neighborly" doesn't.
I think a lot of people have mutual aid confused with charity on here, maybe because folks most often see it in the context of fundraiser asks (which are great!).
I want to talk a little about what it looks like in everyday life.
Because we need it more than ever. Government is getting shredded.
