a mind full of you.: rant about Boise radicals
it really bugs the shit out of me when radicals (whether they be anarchists, queers, punks, whatever) refuse to participate in local activism.
yeah I understand that you’re like ***super radical*** and that you don’t believe in working within the systems in order to change them. But rallies,…
Except its hard to participate in activism when you’ve been threatened by other activists for partaking in direct action. When rapists are allowed in safe space and are participating in the “activism”. When the activism you are doing is looked over because you are not part of the popular majority of activists in your town.
I personally can’t wait to get out of here. I’ve spent the last 4 years putting a lot of effort into Boise and I’m so done.

Accurate commentary is accurate. Boise “activism” is a bummer.
