I've noticed this conversation happening in other places off DU too, and I'm glad we finally have a space to bring these discussions here. I think it's true what you say, we're all going to need each other strong real soon. More bad shit is coming down everyday in bucketloads.

Occupy has brought up a lot of these discussions too. The example of the offensive slutwalk sign has some parallels to discussions of what isn't cool if you are trying to fight oppression--contributing to the pain, even though you feel your heart is in the right place as a progressive, can/will cause division and hurt.
