      We have turned social justice into a race, not a march. Rather than getting there together we are trying to get there first.

      Elders in the movement have a patience seldom seen among my peers; they have seen already what we are yet to see.

      Being the most pure at the finish line is hardly a measure of justice. The cost we pay cannot be the ones we have thrown out along the way.

      Purity is a filter by which we remove people and deny them justice. We have to do better.

      Justice isn't accomplished by five pure people arriving, having successfully cast off their sins.

      We have awoken to the notion of white/cis/straight/etc guilt but we have not awoken to the understanding that casting our guilt onto another is not the same as addressing it.

      We are burning through our best because they are not good enough for ever evolving standards. We rationalize potential harms as manifest ones.

      Our movement will eat itself if we are not given to truth. The core of social justice is a moral truth and that cannot be realized if truth is irrelevant.

      And we have made truth irrelevant.

      The path requires brave people to do hard things and assume risk. We are better served supporting those people and mitigatong the risk. Not for their sake, but for ours. Because we have invented many low-risk ways to spin our wheels and create the illusion of progress.

      For all the talk of revolution, I see sparingly few people with the talents to fight a war.

          That's because all the people who truly wanted to put an end to the corrupt political system we have jumped on board the #TrumpTrain . Come over to our side. We have tons of talented people and seem to be winning the war. Be part of the solution and not the problem.

          I would prefer to avoid that. I love my country and the idea of a civil war scares the shit out of me. Thats why I'm doing everything in my power to encourage nonviolent resistance. The most aggressive thing I would back would be a national decentralized labor strike.

          It’s just talk. I hear both sides squawking about revolution and civil war and all I see is pathetic rabble wasting their time and energy.
