"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

what it says on the title, we just violate and parasitize humanity and i don't even know if we should be kept around if a global revolution actually happens

i honestly feel like our only use right now is sheer body count and to be harvested for resources in a post-rev world, the latter being punishment for what we've done to the world

am i correct or just pessimistic? forgive me if my thoughts come off as off-putting but my frustrations toward my species leaves me wanting the global south to have a proper form of revenge

And I'm telling you, that's how imperialists think when they want to justify their murderous policies; this is embedded in what the intelligentsia reproduces as cultural thought, from hundreds of years of colonialism, some of which developed into global imperialism. You're taking that lens and turning it inward, toward the imperial core.

You're far from the first to do this and you won't be the last. Because changing loyalties doesn't instantly change your paradigm. But the good news is, it is possible to change your paradigm over time.
