People who defend billionaires are like people defending the monarchy. Secretly deep down in their heart, they want to be a princess and get fucked by the prince 😂

I mean… I generally defend human beings because I think the problems are in the systems Attack white supremacy, not white people Attack patriarchy, not men Attack capitalism, not the rich Are all those populations sometimes complicit in upholding those systems? YES The problem is STILL the system

Some people need to be attacked as they're the constructors and gatekeepers of those systems and don't want to give up those spaces easily. Naming names is part of this. Imo.

Yeah, I think it’s okay to name and shame *people doing bad things* Necessary even

It’s more the “eat the rich” where I’m like “I don’t loooove dehumanizing language even when it aligns with causes I nominally agree with”

The guillotine is popular right now, and for good and understandable reasons But also… we do know that didn’t go great for *anyone*, right?

Will their decisions harm enough people who want to do that? I'm not a big fan but also I'd understand why others may because due to them there's about to be a lot of harm and death.

Yeah I think “live by the sword, perish by the sword” is oddly true, so I’d really rather avoid a bloody revolution BUT if it’s between that and letting the fascists win, obviously bloody revolution would be preferable

They don't just uphold the systems, they create and extend and benefit from them. These systems are artefacts of human exploitation, not the cause of the exploitation. If so many people weren't such shits, there would be no system.

Yup! 100% But we don’t say “end all men” (well, ok, I do but mostly as a joke with my partner) just because men create and benefit from patriarchy If you’re a male feminist, I’m not looking to fight you, I’m looking to work with you, together, to fight the *system* (and the people fighting for it)
