It's not enough to declare yourself anti-racist, you need to be anti-racist and betray whiteness.

It's not enough to "support" marginalized communities, you need to delegitimize structures of opression and elites IN YOUR OWN SPACES. 🧵

It's not enough to declare yourself anti-patriarchy, you need to structure your political action beyond the coercion, the abuse, and condescending manners.
It's not enough to declare yourself anti-colonial, you need to accept changes if your way of living is sustained by colonialism.
It's not enough to declare yourself anti-capitalist, you need to accept class struggle is real and that if you don't help the opressed, you're helping the oppressor.
It's not enough to declare yourself radical, you need to analyse your own common sense, and be radically open to new ideas.
It's not enough to do activism if that activism is depoliticized and helps more the status quo than to the actual struggle you say you're part of.

Activism, if you do it wrong, can be manipulated by the ruling class and become a social tool for institutionalization-assimilation.

Those who "try to reach out to all groups of people", are actually people who try to reach out ONLY to the mainstream media, the mainstream politicians, and mainstream prejudices.

They prefer to be applauded by the dominant class than to deffend the dignity of the opressed.

Political action is not a popularity contest, is a communitary effort to enrich our consciences.

Political movements are not built on marketing campaigns, they are built in assamblies and dialogue.

The pandemic has left a pessimistic youth. It's been reported that in the last two years there has been a 400% increase in symptoms of anxiety/ depression socially.

Something's clear: Hope, and not panic, is the most powerful and urgent tool for our political action. 🧵

This is the second of the threads I’ll do today. It’s about “climate hope” :)
Sadness makes us docile. The ruling class would want us to be in a perpetual state of depression.

The narratives/aesthetics we use within our struggle affect the results of it. You can easily incite paralyzing fear or hyper-moralism when you intended to incite political action.

Do you know what the new visual identity of FFF means? It means the movement needs to be less white-european.

We need a more queer-black-brown-indigenous-disabled RADICAL ANTI-COLONIAL movement. The most vulnerable people should not only be included, they should lead. 🧵

Stop the colonisation of the Sámi by the Swedish Government - sign the petition! 🔥🌍

#StandWithSápmi #NoMineInGállok #MAPA

Thread: 1/6 First slide: Photo of two moose in winter time. One of them
The Swedish Government is currently about to decide on a proposal to open an iron ore mine in Gállok on indigenous Sámi land. The Sámi are Europe’s only recognised Indigenous people, living in a part of the world experiencing heating four times faster than the global average.

Approval of this mine would constitute a violation of human rights and an environmental disaster! A clear example of the ongoing systematic colonial exploitation of indigenous people and their lands in Sweden that we need to stop.
