and here is an article I really liked: This Is How You Win the Culture Wars by Kay Whitlock
a couple of quotes:
Because culture wars help me feel more virtuous, less alone, and more powerful, I am likely to respond with indifference and tacit acceptance, or even enthusiasm, when violence—social, economic, ecological, structural, bodily—is inflicted on my enemies. Culture wars inure us to supremacist violence in its vigilante, interpersonal, and institutional forms, in part by shifting blame for that violence onto the vulnerable communities against whom the violence is perpetrated.

The root of this effort is building trustworthy relationships that over time begin to replace fear and enmity with caring community.
i’ve seen some ~discourse~ lately about “the left” needing more of a counter culture and i agree, but i also don’t really know what they’re talking about. that has always existed in local artist/music communities, and i’ve been a part of it myself for a long time, mostly just peripherally. but there’s always room for more of it! and i think everyone would benefit from making more of an effort to join and support people in their local communities.
so finally, a video from kim kelly about that:
