Selective solidarity exposes the self-serving impulse to bolster ones ego (and ease ones conscience), all while avoiding the necessarily difficult and costly practices of allyship for the cheap knock-off of performative compassion.

The seeds of liberation are planted across the common table as we break bread together.

No one has ever been saved from drowning by sympathy.

There is nothing like the moving solidarity of survivors to bring out seemingly boundless impulse to deflect, deny, and defend.
