follow-up from jordan:
Whoever wrote this insufferable quixotic homily needs to take a deep breath and get some perspective. Just because this is important to you does not mean I’m obligated to “validate” it. Are you at the spot to skate and kick it or are you at the spot to make me feel guilty about not acknowledging about your intersectionalism?
PS it’s fucking Jordan maxhams insta. He’s a nice kid from Vermont. Leave him alone he doesn’t need to subscribe to some bullshit elitist west coast ideology.
EDIT: i wrote this as a knee jerk reaction and probably should have avoided the ad hominem attacks as they hurt my argument rather than further it. Its really a result of the frustration of the enforcement of ideology in a space where i (and i think others) go for freedom from regiment. skateboarding is one of the few places where i feel able to drop labels, and drop hierarchy and just be me with people who are just being them. i am pretty consistent on this- i don't believe there is a place for ideology in activity of skateboarding. it is too pure.
