    But not everyone rejects because of malice. But often of ignorance.

    The “centrist devil” has become another absolutism born from justice.

    I am not saying water down the gravity, i’m just asking if we can do better in shortening the gap between defensiveness and acceptance, and redemption.

    Most of what i see at least in my country Italy in regards to racism and structural issues is playing holier-than-thou and finger pointing.

    Being right is not enough. Making new ways of “us vs them” between ordinary people, those that are bystanders to the oppression, is simply repeating past mistake, just as it would be a grave mistake to diminish the gravity of what’s to heal.

    It seems impossible to solve, but the already woke were asleep once too

    Yeah no i was totally wrong dont know why i said that. Its maybe that this meme seemed to undermine the cureent mobilization?

    Like, we do need to address it but how do we minimize the resistance that comes from the defensiveness of “dont call me bigot?”

    Certainly we can’t let this fear allow us to postpone a critical component of change.

    People, especially heteronormative white people really, REALLY conflate accountability with an attack on their pride, it’s a cultural heritage the deconstruction of which can only be sparked from inside.

    We all need to learn that past mistakes are only a permanent mark if we do nothing to change them






  • Thank you for reading it

    I like daisies a lot, i have a beautiful memory of them from when i was a child, in the park i used to play it was full of them. Although the idea of it kind of hurts sometimes because my ex girlfriend’s name is Daisy, and my discovery of myself was a catalyst for the breakup. She was accepting of it but i mishandled the communication and we had issues independent of it, a lot of codependence.

    But yes daisies are my favourite flower nonetheless, what’s yours?
