Reframing Activism: Shifting Focus from Justice to Questioning Power

The speaker identifies as a trans public intellectual, highlighting a focus on the public itself. They do not seek justice or engage in speak-truth-to-power activism, but instead call into question the centrality of power. The speaker's politics embody the attributes of a trickster, seeking openings and breakings rather than engaging in power struggles. They advocate for going beyond traditional activism and are wary of how activists may eventually resemble the power they fight, as the struggle shapes them. The speaker advocates for 'post-activism' as a means to move to a different realm.
