Anarchism / Intersectionality / Decolonization

Note: Inspired by @Crazycookie@slrpnk.net 's last 2 posts (btw my plan for the weekend is to read the compilation!), I thought of taking a look at the anarchist library for something "similar" to add to my reading list for the weekend.

I found interesting the 3-word title and since it was super short I thought of checking it out. Obviously I liked it, and this is why I shared it, but I also wanted to add that I don't agree with the metaphore that intersectionality is a microscope, as it says, even tho I tend to agree with the explanation it gives just bellow.

The microscope thingy takes me to something that is not visible to a naked eye because it's tiny. For me intersectionality is the opposite of that. It's an analytical tool that makes us see connections that are totally obvious and right in front of us, but we are systemically conditioned not to pay attention to them. This is why we don't see them, not because they are too small to see. In a way, it's a practical tool that helps us expand our understanding as well as empathy, beyond western/colonial/etc cultural norms. Something like that.
