To everyone who "expected better" from or of or about me.
You have overestimated my internal and external resources and dehumanized me in the process... Assuming I won't rather than that i can't. That my morals or mental abilities are lacking rather than my resources.
I'm not as refined or sophisticated or universally outwardly subtle as you thought. I certainly haven't transcended my humanity. You being utterly ignorant of that fact tells me you haven't transcended yours either.
At least in my case i don't go around ordering anyone else to disable their own brainstem or to turn a blind eye to anything.
So if someone physically attacks me directly or by imprisoning or threatening me physically then I will fire back to the extent I need to just like anyone n everyone else would. I use my words to the point that the situation is not physical and that I have them available to use. But I'm more than just begging and pleading and blind negotiation with nothing to back it up or make it real.
Dehumanization hurts and harms me as much as it does you or the next person... no one is so subhuman ... or so above it all... that they don't notice or care... Nor is anyone so superhuman that they have transcended the good things that make us human sentient beings... And my not acting or being superhuman doesn't make me subhuman... It makes me human. And vice versa. Just because I don't use your communication or expression style 24/7 doesn't make me not human. Or less human than you. And no one's communication style is a minority... Mine just isn't valued right now or in this country by the people currently in power who are telling you whose style to value and who to dehumanize.
Everyone has their people. But the higher ups don't want us to know that. They want us all to believe we'd be hopeless without their dictatorship... Without doing things their way and working for them. They want us to murder each other and ourselves when we become an active or passive threat to their dictatorial system.
The only thing keeping our brains as mush is the belief they feed us that our brains are mush. Ordering us to not believe in our own intellect... To trust them instead.
To believe we would have no allies and no abilities or conscience of our own if we abandoned their oppression. They believe that they will die either physically or emotionally or socially or spiritually without having us as physical or emotional or spiritual or social slaves. So in order to keep themselves alive in their opinion... Whether that is the truth or not about them... They try to make us believe it's us who would die in one or more or all of those ways without their oppression.
