been screaming about this elsewhere for years so i may as well do it here for once:
this bullshit is why hopepunk is toxic and empty and maintaining feelings of ~hope~ like it& #39;s radical, rather than addressing the actual evils and issues that necessitate that hope in the first place, is weak. https://twitter.com/brrittannyh/status/1387162564254044160">https://twitter.com/brrittann...
everyone who& #39;s heard me rail about this for years like

i don& #39;t often have opinions on the discourse in the open because who has the fucking time but this has HAUNTED ME ever since hopepunk became a "thing"
as if it hadn& #39;t been a "thing" with decades of scholarship and writing behind it beforehand but lmao aja

once upon a time i would have agreed that hope was important and a sort of core, fundamentally, to imagining any kind of radically different/better/utopian future. sure.
because i was reading shit from the 80s/90s and i was in high school. this goes without saying, and i& #39;ll shut up and just go make another drink after this, but WE ARE NOT THERE NOW and if your futures, your dystopias, your utopias haven& #39;t evolved? omg go dig a grave.
anyway fuck hopepunk, aspire to better things
this thread has zero context or nuance and requires significant unpacking!
