Growing up in the US means having been socialized in a cultural broth celebrating those who ignore their personal needs in favor of whatever group(s) they're a part of. It's embedded in our aphorisms:</p><p>* No pain, no gain<br>* Go above and beyond<br>* Give 110%</p><p>Those are just the ones that came to mind quickly. I'm sure there are others. </p><p>Escaping a mindset that's deliberately inculcated in us as children is difficult, for everyone. It doesn't matter where one ends up on the political spectrum. Leftists are just as prone to that kind of toxic behavior as any fascist.</p><p>I think the first step is just recognizing and naming it for what it is: toxic bullshit priming people to allow themselves to be used as disposable resources. </p><p>If you don't have the spoons to take it on, avoid any organizations that don't explicitly recognize the danger. If you do have the spoons to deal with it, maybe look for ones that seem otherwise OK, and bring it up for discussion.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpolitics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalNorms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalNorms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toxicity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/selfsacrifice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfsacrifice</span></a></p>
