Everyone needs a planet. Offer enemies a way not to be enemies.

Margaret Killjoy today:

"Remember that everyone has skin in this game, even if some people have more than others. We all rely on a livable biosphere. Anyone with any ounce of conscience is threatened by a fascist government. It’s okay to be fighting for your own future as well, whatever your identity, and it’s important to not let identity divide us (despite the fact that we need to recognize that those of different identities will be impacted differently). We should not flatten our differences, we should celebrate them. And not let them divide us. Because, as always, we need to

Deescalate all conflict that isn’t with the enemy.

We need to offer an offramp for people on the right wing. We need to offer people the chance to deradicalize away from fascism. This isn’t to say we need to be nice to our enemies, just that we need to make it clear that they have the option of no longer being our enemies."

The Sky is Falling; We've Got This or: yes it's bad, no we need not despair. Margaret Killjoy. Nov 6, 2024
