My personal "favourite" comment

Just wanted to add, its ok to mourn the loss of a strong woman, even if the firm she represented and the work she did was wrong in so many ways. Rarely is any single person all good or all bad. She was a bad ass during WWII, doing work “girls” didn’t do up till then. She led a very disciplined life and worked tirelessly at her role. Unfortunately, the work she did, and so much of what she represented was painfully awful. Just goes to remind us that being a strong female is not enough if the way you live causes harm. My wish is that in her next go round at life she learns to take her strength and apply it for the good of other people.

Sitting at +133 upvotes lmao such revolutionaries on there.

    It's a shame there isn't a radical witchcraft subreddit. I'm against woo in general but that's a neat tradition from a feminist and communal healthcare standpoint. It has a lot of radicalisation potential in reverence for nature and the decommodification of healthcare. Like hippie shit though it's so overburdened with reactionaries and liberals that the community is inherently poisoned.

      probably because witchcraft and pseudoscience is inherently reactionary

        It do be, but there's also a radicalising materialist history there which has a lot of value for us. Witchcraft as women carving own their own independence in an even more patriarchal society, as land ownership and dispossession, and as female-oriented and controlled healthcare. Ethnobotany is very important for the left to claim so that the legitimate points of herbalism can be explored, and as a history of demographic persecution it's a good display of what patriarchy is.

      I know we have a few people like that on here, they created the paganism community I linked in the other comment.

      When it's not reactionary, liberal, or quackery it's actually pretty cool
