But how we got here is through British and French and Spanish and Italian and even Dutch hegemony. They buried their crimes under the US's growth. And now we have collectively forgotten that US hegemony was a group project. Look at our allies, they don't have to maintain vast armies. We do that

Flip your center in US history from white people to Black and Indigenous people, look at the Exclusion Acts, and understand the US isn't sliding towards fascism. It is reverting to its original state. And your utopian dreams about European comfort, freedom, etc? Yeah, take a harder look.

What folks don't understand is that we're on our 5th/6th generational cycle of letting these evil folks off easy.
They didn't hang slaveholders.
They didn't hang ex-confederates.
They didn't hang KKK members They didn't hang proponents of Jim Crow.
There's more but now we've arrived here with MAGA.

I have a long running theory that other countries obscure the depths of their bullshit by relying on "At least we're not America" and uh, the data says that you're headed in the same shitty direction or you're already there.

Disabled people told y’all to stand up against a negligent government that was comfortable with letting you die back in 2020 & up until now
We BEGGED y’all to learn from the government’s “response” to the HIV/AIDS crisis.
You refused. Called us unstable. Because you wanted to get “back to normal”.

“Good” Christians were told to excommunicate the extremists among them over eight years ago. They refused. Said it was uncomfortable.
Cishet people were told to check the raging homophobes and queerphobes among them. They refused, because they were too busy dating them.

i know we're not supposed to acknowledge it, but the black church has not been any safer a space for queer people, sex workers, or women than any other church or religious space.

how many black women learned to hate their bodies and see themselves and inherently sinful and subservient to lecherous paedophilic men in the church?

This birthed the OG Creole Traiteurs.
Traiteurs were men and women, especially in rural areas.
Traditionally, the prayers, rituals, healing methods, and traditions were passed down by a family member/kinship of the opposite sex, and praises were given to GOD, not the traiteur.
