Social justice is about destroying systematic marginalisation and privilege. Wishing to live in a more just, more equal world is simply not the same thing as wishing to live in a ‘nicer’ world. I am not suggesting niceness is bad or that we should not behave in a nice way towards others if we want to! I also do not equate niceness with cooperation or collaboration with others. Here’s all I am saying: the conflation of ethical or just conduct (goodness), and polite conduct (niceness) is a big problem. Plenty of oppressive bullshit goes down under the guise of nice. Every day, nice, caring, friendly people try to take our bodily autonomy away from us (women, queers, trans people, non-binary folks, fat people, people of color … you name it; they just don’t think we know what’s good for us!). These people would hold a door for us if they saw us coming. Our enemies are not only the people holding ‘Fags Die God Laughs’ signs, they are the nice people who just feel like marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense, it’s just how they feel! We once got a very nice comment on this site that we decided we could not publish because its content was “But how can I respect women when they dress like – sorry to say it, pardon my language – sluts?”. This is vile, disgusting misogyny and no amount of sugar-coating and politeness can make it okay. Similarly, most of the people who run ex-gay therapy clinics are actually very nice and polite! They just want to save you! Nicely! Clearly, niceness means FUCK ALL.

the folk who are complaining about the fact that people protesting these holiday events (the thanksgiving parade, tree lighting ect) fail to realize these grand juries did this on purpose. they deliberately decided to release the decisions to not indict these officers near holidays bc they knew these things would happen

  • people would try to brush over the horrible things that are happening for the sake of a holiday event thats gonna happen every year to try and make things ‘blow over’ quickly.
  • the people who are protesting the decisions are going to be seen as ‘agitators’ and be painted negatively, they are being seen as people trying to ruin everyone else’s ‘good time’ and ‘messing it up for the children’. 

these things were strategically done to try .and create negative sentiment towards people who stand up against injustice and so many of yall is falling for it.

if u wanna be mad at someone be mad at these triflin ass grand juries who want to use holidays as distractions to try and cover up their unjust decisions, not the people who see through that crap and are calling it what it is. bullshyt.
