Reposted by daniel?BLIMP! JUICE! @blimpjuice.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A lot of good arguments here. An actual good strategy has to reckon with the fact that every major mobilization of the last decade, i.e. issues which activated and politicized ordinary, non-activist people, were about so-called "cultural issues" (Gaza, George Floyd, BLM, No Kings, Women's March). 031
