Little rant

People tell me not every fight is my fight and I hate that. Because if it’s not mine and it isn’t yours. The fight will never be fought. The fight again homophobia, misogyny, racism, transphobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism and any other minority group that is singled out, targeted and put down. I will consistently fight that battle every time it appears because it needs doing. I refuse to let it be lost and no amount of telling me “it’s just not worth it” will make think otherwise. It’ll make me judge you for thinking it’s not worth sticking up for people who need it.

reminds me of a quote from a person way wiser than me:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller

Agreed, but often it is important to choose our battles

We're all in this together and we have to understand we have the same enemy. It's so crucial.

<3 to me growing up what I see is that there are many ways to fight. The way you are suggesting is a direct and beautiful way, and there are also other smart ways. Do not think because someone is not upfront, they are ignoring the fight, there are plenty of frontiers, be aware of that..

I’m told that too, especially in my community. But I just remember that famous quote by Pastor Niemoller.
