Don’t be afraid to tell it like it is. Racism, misogyny, authoritarianism, and fascism are bad. Full stop.

Rebecca Solnit is brilliant and nails the point (as always) in response to David Marchese. Using soft, vague language does not help anyone when we’re talking about fighting people who are proud about their cruelty and domination. Polarization is a useful thing when you’re confronting people who need to be opposed.

I have such a nerd crush on Solnit. Definitely worth 90 seconds of your time. Please restack and share with others.
