I saw @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social posting some useful advice about organizing a couple days ago & this morning I was searching for something else in my photos & found this also-useful passage from his book, Elite Capture.
For those who defer, the habit can supercharge moral cowardice, as the norms of deference provide social cover for the abdication of responsibility. It displaces onto individual heroes, a hero class, or a mythicized past the work that is ours to do in the present. Their perspective may be clearer on this Or that specific matter, but their overall point of view isn't any less particular or constrained by history than ours. More importantly, deference places the accountability that is all of ours to bear onto select people-and, more often than not, a sanitized and thoroughly fictional caricature of them.
