Hey there, if your journey to leftist politics isn’t rooted in love for other people, you’re only gonna recreate what you hate somewhere else.
It’s not about airing grievances. It’s about creating a space where those who are marginalized can exist without fear.
Zoom out.

Marked safe from having to make up new sins like "empathy" in order to justify being a terrible person.

For the love of [insert deity here], please stop telling people how to feel right now, ESPECIALLY if they’re marginalized.
Half the grief I feel is not because America made a bad choice, but because we only ever have bad ones.
We prioritize capitalism over people every fucking time.

This Govt has opened my eyes to a lot of things over the past 14 months.
Such as the fact when push comes to shove Māori have no say on Waitangi Tribunal appointments.
2024 and we’re still in Colonialism 101.

One of the most dangerous ideas in existence is thinking that knowing less about what’s happening in the world will make you feel happier. It doesn’t. That’s privileged & self centered.
Take breaks, yes, but don’t turn away.
Ignorance is not bliss. It is simply ignorance.

The reason we say decolonization & deconstruction go hand in hand is because fundamentalism & colonialism both require a vacuum.
In order for either one to work, the worldview must be tiny & presupposed.
So if you’re gonna take apart one, take apart the other too.
