I didn’t know a thing about the org so I went from the post to the bio and I clicked their site link. I got there and I had to read the form on page three times because I thought it was some kind of meta-meta-meta(-meta?) commentary. And humor maybe? WTF.

It finally twigged for me that it’s just super-duper turbolib shit.

    critical defense of surj:

    it dates to the earliest days of black lives matter when performative allyship was actually in vogue, and it attracted a lot of people with good intentions who felt it was inappropriate to, uh, appropriate black lives matter. imagine a town that’s 9/10 white or more but very progressive, and all the “activists” are also white. so they formed “standing up for racial justice” and, in a move that is straight out of 2014, almost immediately rebranded as “showing up for racial justice” because they didn’t want to be ableist.

    I think it was founded with good intentions, but they are (imho) too focused on electoralism.

    they’re not backing platner because he’s a Nazi: they either haven’t heard or don’t believe it. but!!! yea, this is problematic as fuck (another 2014ism for you.)
