man it's interesting how many points of my personal philosophy may not be so common as i assume they are. i think i should articulate my vision of the world at some point, not because i'm a great thinker or whatever, just because i want people to be able to compare against me
a key principle i think i have at this point is that the world is pluricentric in many different ways, that this is a beautiful thing, and that there is no ideology (for example) i think to be so worthy as to risk throwing that pluricentricity away
this has many implications but one of them is that i am a bit suspicious of revolutionaries even if i can understand the dream and agree with them that a better world is possible
it also means: yes, i genuinely do not want to live in a world where i am surrounded purely by like-minded people, even though we are obviously right about everything and i might like it if we had more power
this is also my response to people who ask “but isn't your being queer incompatible with thinking the [xxx]s shouldn't bomb the shit out of the [yyy]s”
