Those like us were not meant to be kind. We were born to rage and burn and destroy all that must be destroyed, so that maybe, one day, much better people than us can live in a world where they’re rewarded for their kindness instead of having it twisted to bind them.

Him wanting to fuck me doesn’t mean he respects me. In fact, it probably makes him respect me less. Men like him are strange like that, seeing what should be intimacy as conquest instead.

After all, a society that takes care of its own does not produce children who grow up dreaming of burning it down.

If to exploit is an element of human nature, then this, to resist exploitation, is also human nature. No exploiter has ever lived in peace without weapons, their soldiers, and their propaganda and lies. And I have enough faith in human self-interest to believe that those who do the true labor of society will rise for their own sake until there are no more exploiters to combat, however many eons it may take.

Do you understand what revolution is? A revolution is always a tragedy, a destructive force unleashed by those stripped of every last option for peace. There's not a revolutionary in history who doesn't wish they could've gotten what they wanted within the world order they knew, but you cannot reform a system designed to keep power out of your hands.
