The same goes for people of the #globalmajority —and anti-Blackness is *often* demonstrated by non-Black people of the global majority.

Your #oppressed identities do not make you immune to oppressing others. If anything, they can sometimes encourage you to hold fiercely to the remaining power and #privilege that you *can* access.

@KuteboiCoder @vriska @shortstories @amerika the poverty in the so-called "thirdworld" is TOTALLY engineered, these people's cultures and land were RICH as fluke, they just didn't think to, or BELIEVE in, or prioritize making efficient instruments of warfare and mass murder and slavery.

the collapse of the soviet union made the US even more predatious and exploitative, obesity afghanistan was about securing lithium for the phones that would make us sick, and for the opiods that would make us sick, obesity percentage-wise went from the single digits in 1990 to around 40% in the usa today. The sicknesses INCLUDING the mental illnesses is a DIRECT result of the "wealth" stolen extracted from other parts of the world the usa abused. Today, it disgusts most of the world's population, they now see it, they can see the sickness envelope the west now. I personally think its too late for many people, especially due to the quasi-forced medical experimentation during covid, they will likely have early outset of problems. i'm sad because i tried to be a voice against this progression for 10 years.

what the west has been masterful at, is bombing ppl out of their home contries by giving weapons to extremist factions in those countries, so they've been able to bring in fresh healthier refugees, but i think that trick is no longer being tolerated anymore by an increasingly connected and aware #globalSouth/ #globalMajority.

Sometimes it takes a #GlobalMajority mixed gender relay team to show how stupid the far-right minority really are. #Olympics

Does anyone know of non-Western NGOs with a successful #Fediverse presence? I am planning a #workshop to share best practices for _global_ civil society about how to break free from #BigTech social media.
