Warning: ambitious careerists may now be disguised as “Leftists.”
A slogan from May 68’ adapted for our times.
Traits to watch out for: unwilling to do any type of work that they can’t get credit for.
So, basically everyone involved in a creative medium?
Assembly line activism like that ostracizes queers and you know that.
Most activists involved in creative media constantly participate in the making of posters, videos, performance art and other creative work that they can not take credit for.
Often when there is an opportunity to take credit they deliberately leave out their own name and add only the name of the action group they are working in so all the focus goes to their message.
If an activist will only make creative work that they can add their own name to and will flat out refuse to contribute art for anything that they can’t put on their resume, then yeah, that’s absolutely a career activist.
