nihilistic unlock for me to realize salon culture is all about the ppl hosting salons and not about the ppl that end up being the topics of the salons

the right has 'just asking questions' branding, left basically does the same thing

has reinforced my view that anything short of showing up to protests isn't allyship

i've often been invited into left spaces to provide the trans perspective, and then often chastised for doing so

imo some of the left's elite want to equate doing salons and retreats at esalen to activism

idk gray tribe vis a vis interintellect is a little more honest about what it is that they're doing i think

i think effective altruism is where gray tribe's 'this thing that is not activism is our activism' thing is

I am super curious what you have to say. I could talk about this at length
