Amazon Prime Day brings in $28 billion. You know who doesn’t see that money?
The worker who tore a rotator cuff lifting 400 boxes in 104° heat.
The seller who's paying 48% in fees to sell on marketplace or risk going out of business.
You, when Amazon sells your data to the highest bidder.

You didn’t choose Amazon. Amazon ate every alternative, replaced it with copycat garbage, and charged you $139/year to gaslight you and call it “convenience.”

Amazon Prime Day: Because nothing says “land of the free” like needing a multinational death robot to deliver your dog's food in 48 hours because every store within 10 miles was run out of business by that exact death robot.

The Enabler
Maintains the illusion. Gaslights reality. Defends the system.
In families: the one who smooths over the cracks and pretends it’s fine.
In society: civility politics, corporate HR.
They call it “neutrality.”
But it always protects the abuser.

The Scapegoat
Blamed for the system’s failings. Punished for telling the truth.
In families: the emotionally honest one who won’t play pretend.
In society: BIPOC communities, migrants, women, queer folks, truth-tellers.
Often the most traumatized.
Usually the first to break the cycle.

The Mascot
Makes dysfunction look fun. Distracts from collapse.
In families: the joker, the entertainer.
In society: influencers, memes, culture wars.
We laugh our way through it. But laughing forever is just denial. We need to sit with the reality eventually.

The Lost Child
Checks out to survive. Fades into the background. Stays quiet to stay safe.
In families: the invisible one.
In society: the apolitical, the numbed out, the overworked and overwhelmed.

The Golden Child
Upheld as the ideal. Protected, praised, and groomed to lead.
In families: the one who can do no wrong.
In society: whiteness, patriarchy, the corporate elite.
They're status depends on their ability & willingness to perform.

The system doesn’t need to use force to maintain control. It just needs to keep most people locked into the roles they were given:
The illusion of freedom is easier to sell when everyone’s already playing their part.

If you grew up in a dysfunctional family, you already understand authoritarianism.
You already understand:
– Suppression
– Scapegoating
– Denial
– Performance
Because oppressive systems operate just like toxic families:
They survive by assigning roles, enforcing silence, and punishing dissent.

“Nobody cares.”
That’s a bot. Or a bitter shell of a man who’s been failed by the same system.
Either way, it’s a lie.
If no one cared, they wouldn’t be here trying to shut you up.

Healing starts with remembering.
Your body already knows what’s true.
Even when the world tells you to forget.
Even when systems say your pain is a problem.
Even when people say “you’re too sensitive.”
You’re not. You remember.

Oppression is.

Yes. For injustice.
For genocide.
For corporate corruption.
They want to make attention itself feel shameful. That’s how they hide the truth.
