let us avoid just throwing labels back and forth at each other. where did i say that i was for "doing nothing" or "quietism"?
i don't know anything about white rose. would you like to inform me about what they've done that is so great?
i will avoid calling you names for being someone who says things like "doing something/anything" is better than pondering, thinking, critiquing, questioning, etc.
surely we both know that doing is not at all vs considering, yes? that is the most tired of false binaries, yes? perhaps you can talk about your experience with people who seem to be interested only in criticizing, and how depressed that makes you feel, and i can talk about my experience with people who are more interested in posturing through repetitive/useless action, and how depressed that makes me feel?
then maybe we can get beyond the most shallow type of online interaction, and instead talk about how action and critique go together, and maybe there's a better way to do both of them?
doesn't that sound nice?
