This... so much yes. Public libraries are many things, but they are typically not book museums.

Power outages, lots of debris, some big branches and maybe a few trees down from what I saw of the #mnwx storm aftermath this afternoon.

Nobody is mad that you're not the very first person to line up for the cause. We don't bicker about who got where at what time or how people got to be where they're at. The point is we're unified on "fuck 12" (anti fascism/anti cop—cops are referred to as 12)

Think about this part & why somebody would point out that it's a privilege. There are a lot of people wiser than I who have come before me to point this one out. An invitation for you.

But pointing out the connection between things like p2025, cop city, militarization of police, police brutality, etc ~and the fact that a lot of folks weren't as concerned until p2025~ is not inherently condescending/pejorative

Yes and the way we help people figure out their problems is to identify those problems with them & give them the time and discreet and tools (identifying language included) to do their own internal work. You won't confront anybody's issue by not naming it/keeping it in the dark

America IS already fascist & that's not an accusation against an individual. If they supported policies that led us here, that's fair and necessary to point out.

I didn't say it's necessary to call anyone a hypocrite, but this is just "you can't call people racist" in a different font. We have the words in order to name the issues. It shouldn't be such an offense to point out when people are hypocritical/ignorant. What a privilege to be offended by that.

It's important that people are called to recognize, examine, accept AND ~change~ so that they do not ~remain~ hypocrites. Invitations to reckon with& process are necessary.

I mean, yeah, it's not inaccurate to say that—especially unexamined, & definitely if left unchanged—incongruity is, in fact, hypocrisy.

There's a saying in my circles about inviting people into the fold/the fight whenever it is that they show up: "Nobody's mad that 6 ain't 7, but 9, 10, 11, FUCK 12" It doesn't matter when or how you got here, but let's ALL get to it

Nobody I know that's saying this about cop city/p2025 is being condescending about it. It's a call IN. It's an invitation. "Glad you're here, this is what you may have missed, there's more to look back on & plenty to do."

And if people are earnestly concerned re: p2025 &/fascism as it stands now, then they need to see how all these other things are connected to it & are worth caring about/being concerned over

It's incongruous not to care/to have dismissed everything going on with -cop city/ -those charges/ -police brutality/ -militarization of police & just now be concerned about p2025 & what THAT means for fascism All of these have been part of what's led to both p2025 & to where fascism is now

People are posting this to say "this has been another thing we need(ed) you to care about" & anyone posting it with this more pejorative tone of superiority would be very misguided, indeed But I also take issue with people immediately reading condescension/a pejorative air where it wasn't placed

I don't think it's fair to say this is "of course" the subtext. I don't think it's the subtext at all. I think folks are saying this bc it doesn't line up for ppl not to have cared —& still not care—re: much at the earlier sign (cop city), trying to make sense of/illuminate/question the incongruity
