Soooo, lemme get this right …

Your people break the world, then turn to the people you’ve broken and say, “Teach us how to be better. Educate us. Guide us. Heal us. Show us the way. Give us solutions.”

Do y’all really believe that survival is some kind of consulting service?

Do y’all think centuries of terror, theft, and psychological warfare somehow come with a free instruction manual authored by the oppressed and wounded?

Like, do you imagine we’ve been down here in the wreckage secretly developing a PowerPoint called How to Dismantle the System That’s Actively Trying to Kill Us?

Do you think oppression installs some kind of special app in our brains called “Solutions,” where we just tap the screen and out pops the roadmap to your moral redemption?

Be serious. Be very fucking serious!

Do you think there’s some mystical clarity that comes with being hunted, surveilled, brutalized, and structurally disposable for generations?!!!

Do you think living in constant fight-or-flight mode unlocks a higher strategic consciousness, like trauma is a damn superpower? That the people ducking bullets, deportations, poverty, prisons, and premature death are also supposed to be calmly reverse-engineering the machinery of Empire for your personal growth journey?

This is not how this works. This is not how any of this works!

Y’all keep asking the traumatized to be the theorists of your liberation from your own people’s violence. You’re asking the targets to be the strategists of the system that targets them. You’re asking the wounded to double as your moral GPS, your therapist, your historian, your organizer, your spiritual advisor, and your customer support line for guilt.

And then y’all get all hurt and shocked when we’re like, “why are you asking US? How the fuck should we know what to do? We didn’t create this shit! Go talk to your own people!”

We don’t have “the answer” because there is no single answer. There is only resistance, adaptation, care, rage, grief, and the long memory of what it takes to endure. Survival teaches you how to SURVIVE, not how to redeem the evil-ass people and structures trying to kill you.

I wish y’all would get that through your skulls.
