"It’s not “your biology” that distresses you, it’s the capitalism. And here’s the banger — that’s not the fault of shrinks. That’s how the state has set up the game. We look for individual fault though, because carceral logic doesn’t just effect our political enemies. It lives in our bodies too.".
"We like uber-villains like Hitler...because they take the heat off of the rest of us, and off institutions that still exist".
"Traditional custodians, indigenous people, have been overlooked, criminalised, pathologised, genocided, and “saved” by settlers. And now, in the final throws of the planet, we notice that they maintain the cultures who can heal it. It’s not a coincidence that divergent people of all kinds have been also been overlooked, criminalised, pathologised, genocided, and saved...And both of these “social puzzles” of present day distress are not really puzzles at all. Divergent people, People of Colour, Disabled people, Queer people, Indigenous people, are helped when they are given access to power....We fix this by empowering...survivors to build alternatives".
