β€œGovernment level gaslighting” today from Boris, Munira Mirza etc
In the Rehab Hospital gym there is a dummy staircase that goes nowhere. You climb it and either come down again or turn right and walk down a little side flight. In context, it’s ideal for learning how to exist in the real world. Great practice . Symbolically it’s terrifying.

People who say - authorities should take statues down after discussion. Yes. But it isn't happening. Bristol'sbeen debating #EdwardColston for years and wasn't getting anywhere. In 2018, it was agreed that statue would bear a plaque noting his involvement in the slave trade. BUT

Race(ism) is foundational to the way our economic and political order functions. It is like oil. Without it, global capitalism could not have enveloped and penetrated the world in the way it has. It is not mere superstructure or 'false consciousness'. It is base.

Racist violence and police murder are inherent to capitalism. It will be around until we get rid of capitalism. Knowing this is also key to finding short term ways that we can collectively get some semblance of more immediate reprisal 4 these injustices Follow me for a second
