Yesterday after work I was in a virtual union Women's Conference event, designed to encourage more diverse engagement and running in local politics, and one speaker kept calling us "Comrades". It hit struck a heretofore unfelt yearning to a surprising degree.

Wonder how much trouble I'd get in if I changed my work signature from "best regards" to "in solidarity"? Might be a public service to better express just how hair-triggered I am this year to both help and die on any hill.

Being called “comrade” does invoke this sense of solidarity, doesn’t it? Like a “I see you and I feel you and we’re both in this together” kind of feeling.

Yes, exactly :) And a sense that this person isn't afraid of being tarred an evil destructive Socialist for advocating for any level of societal responsibility.
