Cassandra is only carbon now
Cassandra is only carbon now

I said a thing in visibility-limited replies that I'd like to actually bring out into a more general context: political movements that don't make room for people to have unproductive emotions makes about as much sense as building bridges with zero safety tolerances.

People are, well, human, and *will* have feelings and emotions that are not fully compatible with even their own proximate political goals.

That's not even "it's OK to act in counterproductive ways," or "counterproductive feelings are good," it's "hey, here's a way humans aren't perfect, let's make sure that political advocacy is robust to that imperfection and stop pretending you can just willpower that fluke of human emotions away."
