The idea that America exists in a culture of violence is bullshit. What America exists in is a culture of Kardashian.
I would also say that, in practice, many more Americans are anarchists than would ever use that term.
I want there to be a place in the world where people can engage in one another’s differences in a way that is redemptive, full of hope and possibility. Not this “In order to love you, I must make you something else”. That’s what domination is all about, that in order to be close to you, I must possess you, remake and recast you.
The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom.
It is important and vital is to keep that education for critical consciousness around intersectionalities, so that people are able to not focus on one thing and blame one group, but be able to look holistically at the way intersectionality informs all of us: whiteness, gender, sexual preferences, etc. Only then can we have a realistic handle on the political and cultural world we live within.
Feminist politics aims to end domination, to free us to be who we are - to live lives where we love justice, where we can live in peace. Feminism is for everybody.
Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.
The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.
I think all decision making is very instinctive, in the end.
Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it.
God is the author, men are only the players. These grand pieces which are played upon earth have been composed in heaven.
