Social War Among the Masses
Saturday, April 4th @ 2pm
NYPL 67th Street Library – Community Room
328 East 67th Street, New York
Come for a presentation and discussion on how reactionary anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-youth currents are spread among the masses and how we fight them.
When we go out to talk to people around the city, we run into a lot of backwards ideas that we have to contend with. The biggest reactionary current in NYC right now is hatred of immigrants, stoked by the media, politicians, and clout chasing YouTubers and TikTokers who need to be humbled. We also run into anti-LGBTQ and anti-youth outlooks among oppressed people that embolden violence and discrimination against these groups, whether inflicted by the NYPD or the masses themselves.
These currents are consciously inflamed to redirect outrage away from those in power to other oppressed groups, to keep people from coming together to take on a common enemy. If we’re to make any headway in challenging the rich and powerful who leech off the poor and oppressed in this city, we’ll need to take on these reactionary currents wherever we run into them.
