Chatting with people who hold coercive power over you doesn't change the relations of power. Activists get that. Many liberals don't.
Discussion thread. Important. "Dialogue" with people who hold power over you about that power is inherently unequal.https://twitter.com/nprmonkeysee/status/863740000495652864 …

Absolutely. Absolutely. As a tactic, public debate can be extremely powerful. But it's a tactic, and a choice, not an obligation.
