You are not an ideal, you have to be willing to get better

A Tumblr post by problemNyatic that says "the most valuable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace. You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it. You cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. Yeah even when it's embarrassing and sucks for you a lot.

Our goal should never be to just "put the right people in charge". The main issue was never who was making the decisions, but what decisions were allowed to be made in the first place

A Tumblr post by estrellasrojas that quotes Klee Benally in "Profaned Existence" No spiritual surrender (and 2023 saying "If we interrogate the promises of Land Back, we are brought back to the ancestral perspective that the land belongs to no-one but itself. Land back then becomes a question of unmapping 'legal' terrain, tearing down walls, and cutting through fences. It becomes an undoing of the forceful imposition of the capitalist idea of private property and the colonial/capitalist impulse to declare dominion or domination over Mother Earth and existence. To realize Land Back means to end the ways humans have Profaned all of existence and imposed their will upon the land and reasserting that the land belongs to no one."

Many people think homeless people starving to death in the streets is an inherent moral good because the people with the most guns said so

A Tumblr post by natalieIronSide that says "There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks 'legal' and 'illegal' are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien
