[Peace-discuss] World War III

[C G Estabrook]

Mort--

There may be an argument for separating AWARE’s email lists into the theoretical (for discussion) and the practical (for announcements), but it’s not a very good one. At worst, it supports the liberal attitude, “I know what I’m for and against, and I don’t want to have to be bothered with thinking about it - just impeach Trump and fight Russian meddling!”

Even if such a distinction between the lists has been recommended, AWARE has never authorized anyone to enforce it by suppressing postings! 

That obviously flies in the face of the primary purpose of the lists, to organize and encourage anti-war activity.

I suspect it’s being done now because those who’ve seized the means of email production in AWARE don’t agree with critiques of antifa, intersectionaliy, etc., and don’t want such views spread abroad under AWARE’s name.

The soi-disant Left should be a little more mature than that.

Regards,  CGE
