When those who are abused, erased, denied, harassed, drugged, dragged, gaslit, badgered, beaten, silenced, shamed, blamed, sidelined, traumatized, threatened, dismissed, derided, and more fritter their time away fearing and fighting each other, who do you think benefits?

The powerful—who want everyone else wiped off the face of the earth unless they can be relegated to servitude with dampened, deadened bodies whose only sanctioned individual and collective purpose is generating more power for those with power.

This is how power works, how the powerful grow increasingly powerful while everyone else grows increasingly desiccated.

Power wants you dead. It wants you on your knees. It wants you when it wants you, and when it doesn’t want you, you’d better run like hell even if you don’t believe in hell.

That’s how powerful power is. Don’t do power’s work by harming others who have no power. That’s not your path to power. You have no path to power, nor do you want one.
