Comment on Chicago fighting ICE

Simultaneously very heartening and incredibly frustrating to watch. The victim had to fight so fucking hard while everybody else was being incredibly passive and meek.
Shout-out to the girl in the black dress for being the bravest of all of them and showing how to be a proper menace.

Honestly, my thoughts too. It’s easy to be an arm chair activist and say what you would do (myself included) and an entirely other thing to actually intervene

This is one of those “nail that sticks up” issues and setting expectations for others and what is expected of you in those situations.
To be perfectly honest I’m pushing this point for entirely selfish reasons because I do not possess the self-control to remain that passive in those situations and have the scars to show for it. It might be a character flaw on my part, but I also understand that it is safer for everyone when it’s a mob that stands up vs. just one or two individuals.
