Ironically, while deriding "The Day We Fight Back" as having no strategy, this post offers none either. But I do agree it's important to assess our strategy to see if it's actually accomplishing anything.
- eudox 13y agoWhat do you want him to say that won't get him arrested?
- xwowsersx 13y agoThis makes no sense. Let's imagine that he does have some strategy proposals, but that stating such proposals would get him arrested. Well, if the fear of arrest is the reason he's not doing it, then maybe that's exactly why the "The Day We Fight Back" isn't as forceful as he thinks it ought to be. In which case he's no better than the activism he's criticizing.
- mildtrepidation 13y agoI don't understand the assertion that, in order to criticize, one must always solve whatever problem is in question. It's the same kind of logical strangeness as "if you can't do it, you can't criticize it." Criticism isn't always about "you're wrong and I'm right." Pointing out a deficiency can encourage discussion. There's no necessity to be an authority or have a foolproof solution ready in order to make relevant statements; convincing people this should be some kind of requirement stifles ideas and prevents the advancement and improvement that "hey, there's something wrong here" can put in motion.
