Most people want equality, justice, freedom and peace for all. I choose to believe that, at least.
It’s a very difficult thing to just fight the entire state of the world, instead it’s a much more achievable (and realistic) thing to fight for what affects your immediate group. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Are not you, and that a large percentage of the ruling classes do not want:
equality, justice, freedom and peace
Otherwise inequality, injustice, slavery, and war wouldn’t exist. So we, the just indigenous liberators for peace have to fight against them lest we live by their oppressions.
Except the entire state of the world is what’s responsible for the problems of your immediate group. When you focus on your immediate group you’re not only merely treating a symptom, but you’re also suggesting your problems are somehow more important than another group’s problems.
What’s worse is that people of a specific group will literally say their problems are more important, and then proceed to create a stereotype of another group to blame all those problems on. The struggle then moves away from real problems and then becomes all about defeating some sort of perceived enemy. A process which only achieves dividing us further.
A lot of the world’s problems, both socially and economically, come from the same handful of sources that are continuing to thrive, unchecked, while we fight amongst ourselves. Remove those sources and you will have solved the lion’s share of the problems your group shares, as well as the problems other groups have.

The issue that:

The issue is turning around and attacking others trying to fight for what they fight for.
Intersectionality requires supporting each other.
Say it louder for the people in the back
