@LeoSammallahti Yea, I wonder. I don’t think it's positive. Maybe it comes from liberals - identifying more with the ruling class, separate from people they are trying to “help”. But I think it can move people who don’t want to see themselves as victims and aren't super political more right instead of more left. Made me think of this: https://organizing.work/2020/07/what-does-a-worker-look-like/

We have to change our mindset away from being just critiquers. It's not okay just to say the 10 things in 140 characters that are wrong with the world. Be a grownup and start to organize, especially with people you don't always like. - @Sara_Horowitz@twitter.com, author of Mutualism
