The dominant line within the radical queer corners of the professional activist world and the school-to-publishing pipeline holds that it is enough to simply take the right political positions. So long as one speaks the right language, ethical (here meaning happy) life exists within Leviathan. The impulse to critique assimilation, in its first instance, refuses this acquiescence. Be wary of any who remind too quickly that we all make sacrifices under capitalism. That is true, of course, but remember that to sacrifice is to make something sacred, to give it up for the spirits. This world conditions us to lose things easily because it is always taking them away. We choose to take back power over what we give up, for whom, and why. You’ll recognize your true friends by the way they answer these three questions. There is a subtle difference between careerist and conspirator-within-a-given- institution. One way or another, those with nothing to lose but each other, and by extension a whole world to gain, remember one another and act accordingly. It’s a matter of priority: this dead world, or the ones we are cultivating."
