In this edition of “A rough idea” our editor Cass Hebron invites us to confront our own shortcomings & discomfort: are we only willing to engage with people & causes closer to us? 🤔 Read the full article on our Substack: thegreenfix.substack.com/p/ari-discom...
A Rough Idea: Discomfort is a fundamental part of building a progressive future and we avoid it
Thegreenfix.substack.com“Do we mean it when we talk about intersectionality and solidarity, or does this stop at the doorstep of issues or entire demographics that make us uncomfortable?”
Cass Hebron
A rough idea: discomfort is a fundamental part of building a progressive future and we avoid it
 Thegreenfix.substack.com“Sometimes readers are keen to tell me all the ways they have struggled under our capitalist patriarchal system - as women, as neurodivergent women, as migrants from non-Western countries, as LGBTQIA+ people- but are less willing to engage with the idea that each of us both is complicit in oppression and a victim of the systems that oppress us.”
