“The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us"

I think about this often along with how we are conditioned to be cops policing ourselves and others and effectively doing our oppressors' work for them. I must question my behaviour and motivations behind how I want to talk to myself and/or others. It's all so insidious. Thank you for offering such needed counter narratives in beautifully accessible ways. ACAB forever!

Yes yes! I always think the antidote to comparison is to remind myself how integral we ALL are. It's like a forest or a garden. I'm a birch tree. I'm not a pine. Both are beautiful and so wholly needed.
