Hi, I'm Sam. Originally from the US, currently living in Tokyo.
I'm going to make this my home for talking about Japan-related stuff from now on.

My interests:
> graphic design (samthedesigner.com)
> video games (currently Sifu, Persona 2, Columns)
> and films, TV, etc.

Sometimes I get a bunch of follows at the same time, so if you want to be sure that I follow you back, please let me know in a comment or DM. Thank you 😊

Founder of the ARA.

よろしくね 😊

You could put "BLM" in your profile...
OR
... you could actually boost and support some Black people 😇😇😇

If you are a cis person and you have "trans rights are human rights" in your bio I am generally going to assume that you are not a safe person.

Similarly. If you put "Ally" in your bio I am going to assume you aren't one.

Not because it is bad to flag that "Trans rights are human rights," but because it is too easy: you are really only advertising who you are to followers and potential followers, and that is a very easy thing to do without having done the work.

@hrefna Every time I see a hashtagBLM in a profile...

I struggle to get to the core of this idea, and I've been trying to for weeks or months, but the fascist/oppressor can change their philosophy like you change your shoes. Whatever fits best for the current situation.

samuteki OP ,

There is a vast difference between logic a la carte and changing your mind, of course. I was taught to change my mind when presented with new information.

I was also taught to be consistent in my thoughts. To think deeply about my thoughts, and then challenge them myself, to kick the tires and check the oil before driving it down the street.

I have naively thought that is what everyone does.

samuteki OP ,

But what some people do, shamelessly, purposefully, is to ask themselves what combination of words will most effectively get them closer to maintaining or increasing their power.

They are not arguing with us.
They are jockeying with us.

You have been raised to honor truth.
They have been raised to manipulate it at the drop of a hat.
You will never convince them of anything, because they don't believe in anything—

Except for their right to power.

Except for their right to more power.
