> Implicit in your statement is the idea that the "injustice" might "suck", but not so much that it's worth blowing up your employer. Which is to say: you really don't think this injustice sucked very much.
You're both misreading and over-reading.
The comparison is not between how much the injustice sucks vs. the cost of blowing up the employer. It is a) whether all injustices have equitable access to pressuring employers and b) whether parasitizing any organization to advance a cause, however honorable the intentions are, is a fair game despite the negative externalities.
If any cause fails either of these criteria, it is bound to be creating its own injustices.
- shkkmo 5y agoI don't think "parasitizing" is accurate or constructive terminology. I think your conclusion is also obviously false. The access that the civil rights movement eventually acquired at many institutions did nothing to increase the injustices faced by LGBTQ group. So while unequal access can create further injustices, it is not case they always do. I think that the linkage you are calling out tends to arise when the two groups are in conflict.
