That all my emergency supplies are specifically made to conceal my whereabouts from anyone looking for me. It makes me think the safest, most practical people are actually the ones who hoard bright flashing holiday decorations that light up and sing annoying overly happy jingles

True

breakdown not due to a victory of hate, but of a failure to reach each other, to conflict resolve, out of a need to exit toxicity and resentment.... sad to me

communication is the only way to maintain and build relationships, and resentment is a sure sign of the collapse of a relationship's ability to communicate, and the real risk is a complete trust spiral. and its tragic that a bad situation could breakdown

the suffering, then number of unsolvable problems, the dream of a more united, more just, more equitable world that facilitates the ability of humans to come to each others aid, every generations heads foreward parralell with this gap, and this ineptitude, that is maintained by resentment.

by waiting white nationalists who use the gap and the cultural shock to promote all kinds of racist, hateful, supremacy, and victim narratives. and another generation of black people will, understandibly suffer, and others will try to be changed, but without genuine tools in society to reduce

extra burdens that they carry around for no reason they are responsible for, and that we will just end up with a less hateful gap. this sucks a lot, because it breeds another generation of ignorance that when it hits this gap and feel the push back, to a certain percentage, that gap will be filled

Im just... sad that the hole has gotten deeper. I see smart ppl,i see people in pain, I see their art and humor, but my support provides seemingly nothing, it makes me feel impotent. and it is definetly hard to stay hopeful that we can heal in a way that unburdens somewhat black people from the

thats as informed and unselfish as I can possibly be. but unlike before, these attempts at being the person who isnt just passively not racist, but aggressively anti racist and pro change, I somehow, cant find a way out of a ditch i did not dig. and I do not need anything from the black community

I see their decisions are smart here. and Empathetically, I understand and wholly hold space for the emotions born from suffering. but I just cant make a dent, like personally. every interaction since leaving the military with black people around me, my attempts to show respect and take a position

30 oct of ppl are just ppl who are weak to believing what they are told uncrittically, cuz in a system that only give authority to ppl who own things, its possible to get by if you obey instead of decide, so confidence convinces. Less logos more pathos and ethos
