ITT: A demonstration of the precise behavior OP is trying to warn against.

yeah. There's a difference between (for example) a transphobe screaming at you, and someone who doesn't fully understand all the terms but supports you being yourself. People in the comments are thinking it's more of the former than the ladder.

Perfection is the enemy of progress

I keep hearing people say this meaning "We need to let Republicans kill trans people". It seems to be a thought terminating cliche to pull out against anyone further left than the speaker.

As a trans person, that absolutely isn't how I or other leftists in the spaces I'm in use this phrase. It means to avoid letting disagreement over method or end goal distract from a common cause. Just because a candidate doesn't run for my specific brand of leftism doesn't mean I won't support them over a neoliberal opponent.

More fiber? What kind of movements are we talking about?

I am unsure whether this is AI generated or not. Checking the crosspost to !buyeuropean@feddit.uk confirmed that other people also thought this may be AI generated.

power doesn't care about feelings

Does this mean that power has to be handled with care because it threatens feelings

or

does it mean that it's ok to ignore feelings when it is possible to increase power?

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 19 hours ago

i interpreted it as "powerful people do not care about our feelings"

This for everytime some one suggests an idea. It's not your job to snipe it because it's too lofty an idea. If it's a good idea, help hold it up.

And little victories. Healing by ten thousand stitches.

Like the Muslim voters in Michigan that voted for Trump because they didn't like Harris' support of Israel and then immediately had ICE breathing down their necks

This is true, but it's a good reminder that most people don't act like this meme. We should remember that minorities don't owe us their vote, and we should stand up for them
