i think i benefit from not knowing who my ancestors were and that they were genocided out of existence in this country until i was well into adulthood; because i don’t have to experience the visceral reaction you’re sharing.

studying this identity and my experiences that came as a results of my other identities have taught me that democrats are being mislead in service to maintaining our systems and; even when they know they’re being manipulated; they still go along with the program because it benefits them to do so.

it’s cliche and you’re justified in hating me for parroting it: “don’t hate the player, hate the game”
