Not really, no. I guess the closest thing is me calling myself an ally because it is the vernacular used by the queer community, but honestly I don't really like the term. I feel it is weird to define that somebody is pro basic human rights and there is a danger of exclusion. I don't think I deserve a title for fulfilling the lowest denominator of not being a dick.
For us, Nakama ≡ Comrade. “Camaraderie” is more of an act than a noun. I also don't call homies “nakama,” for they are closer to me personally than and intersector.
Sadly, both @ 🇦🇺, 🇺🇲, & 🇯🇵, we still have Nazis that judge us for the color of our skin, and what we have on our crotches. I wouldn't “ally” with them, while they send us to deathcamps.
I think terminology like "they are our friends" sounds and feels much better than "comrades" with all the far left totalitarian baggage. In my mind "camaraderie" is neutral.
But I'm also the one propagating for affiliation for the causes, not dismissing people because of other ideological differences. For example, an anti-racist or environmental activity does not need everybody that wants to participate and support it to subscribe to my personal version of socialism. It makes me angry when some fringe group try to kidnap an event, regardless how much or little I agree with their ideological reality tunnel.
Yeah but friends are friends, and intersectors are intersectors. I can be vulnerable to friends, but politically aligned intersectors don't need leverages to exploit me.
At the least you comprehended why I didn't like this RightWing Diagram.
🤝. Tis exactly why we need solidarity in these coup & revisionists days.
