  • I feel like allyship is just another in the long, sad line of corporate, big business buzzwords that are just BS. All it really is, is just a fancy was of yet again saying "Can't we all just get along?"

    What is the person who identifies with, due to genetic inheritance, multiple racial and ethnic identities? She can’t “other” herself so would she consider herself, by your definition, as an ally of herself?
  • @civlengr68
    From Wikipedia: "An alliance is a relationship among people, groups, or states that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not an explicit agreement has been worked out among them.[1] Members of an alliance are called allies. Alliances form in many settings, including political alliances, military alliances, and business alliances. When the term is used in the context of war or armed struggle, such associations may also be called allied powers, especially when discussing World War I or World War II." Sounds like Marxism to me.
