Disclaimer is kind of an ugly word
February 6, 2009
I’m working on some thought about the terrorism label and green scares. It’s going to take me a day or two…in the meantime, please note that I’m ambivalent towards the political sentiments of most of the blogs I link to. This isn’t an apology or a way of saying, “hey, I’m just a moderate good girl who doesn’t want to offend anyone” (especially since, in certain contexts, I really delight in offending others). This is just my way of saying that everything I’ve linked to is worth reading, regardless of which parts you or I may agree or disagree with. And I think it’s really fucking important to pay very close attention to how words like “terrorism” are used. Yes, for the upcoming post, I’m specifically referring to Green is the New Red, but it won’t be the only political/AR-activist/Eco-activist/leftie-commie writing to which I’ll refer in posts to come.
ETA: I guess I should clarify my sarcasm behind the “leftie-commie” label. In the rare chance anyone I don’t know is reading this, I’m not exactly, uh, conservative.
