I always feel like I'm hanging out in a punk/hardcore music scene (various anarchist groups, psl to some extent) or with lame improv nerds (dsa). I don't see either of these groups connecting with very many working class people. This is obviously a huge problem but (at least where I am) there is very little attempt to organize or recruit people making minimum wage, fast food workers, service industry, manual laborers etc. I mean shouldn't this be the main priority right now? I don't know I'm just venting but I'm baffled by how bad at organizing these groups are. Do they really just like being this cliquey group that is hard to get into and that's what really matters?
If we enable people with abusive personalities, people will leave our movement or will drastically underperform compared to how well they'd do in recovery/away from an abuser.
People with trauma and personality disorders are a valuable part of the movement but we cannot afford to enable harmful behaviors.
