Embracing Anarchist-Informed Intersectionality

The tension between individual agency and the structures that shape us has been a topic of debate in philosophy and sociology for decades. However, there is a disturbing trend emerging where some popular forms of social critique seem to ignore individual agency altogether, erasing our unique subjectivity in favor of a belief that we are solely products of social systems.

Unless everyone cooperates, the virus exponentially spreads.

TOTW: heroes, people, influence, mourning, rage, spaces
