it's been a while since we've said this and we suspect it has not yet reached everyone it needs to, so we'll say it again just on general principles
activists should study how movements fail, for the same reason that architects study how buildings fall down
@ireneista I would slightly append to that recommendation by saying that the focus for that should be on failure analysis by people who nominally share the same objectives as the activist groups they are analyzing.
There's an awful lot of "critical analysis" on activism from uninvolved folks that mostly just boils down to "we don't like the objective therefore we will declare that it is a failure, and say that it failed because of having the wrong goals"...
@joepie91 oh we have seen ideologically motivated criticism of architecture
@ireneista Curious to hear more about that :)
@joepie91 yes, this is a good nuance. we very much agree.
@ireneista (I feel like this is something architects probably don't have to deal with as much?)
