“You cannot end dehumanization while abiding by the narrative established by the dehumanizers, you cannot end a pandemic while playing by the rules of the virus - you cannot heal a war-inflicted planet while studying from the rulebook of colonialism, that planted the germs of most of those wars in the first place.”
― Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“Holocaust Theatre (Naskaristana 2799)
Most social issues are rooted in religion,
most religious issues are rooted in politics,
most political issues are vestiges of colonialism.
There's a holocaust remembrance day,
or let me fix your uneducated english:
there's a universally recognized
jewish holocaust remembrance day,
and that's great, but I have just one question -
where is the native american holocaust remembrance,
where is the congo and kenyan holocaust remembrance,
where is the palestinian holocaust remembrance,
where is the punjab and bengal holocaust remembrance -
all of which were far bloodier in scale than nazi follies,
why is your history, memory, ethics, all so retarded!”
