i think a lot about just how many people fascism and the right are alienating and trying to oppress
and i really wonder if everyone else in history didn't have the same kind of sense. i dont think they did, but is that our 'enlightened' bias? did thomas mueztner expect peasant women to be an integral part of his peasant rebellion???
but anyway intersectionality and firearms are what really give me hope so dont ruin that for me
Intersectionality is the idea that if A people are oppressed and B people are oppressed, then the oppression that an A B person faces may still have important differences from the sum of those two kinds of oppression.
This is very easy to observe if you choose to look at the intersection of poor people and trans people, who get all of both sets of problems plus the special hell of not being able to afford HRT.
The term also often gets misused as a sort of "we're all in one struggle and it won't be solved until we fight all forms of oppression" sentiment. Which is true and cool, and generally believed by all the people who care about intersectionality anyway, so nobody really minds that much about it being called intersectionality even when it's technically some other thing.
