This is beautifully written. It describes the process many go through when they become connected to a movement. It can transform a person. It is the antidote to all the selfish, egotistical, individualistic, hedonistic aspects of our capitalist culture that keeps us divided and fearing one another. This is what we need to do - join with others to demand justice. It is the best way to live.
Such beautiful reflections on this time, this growing collective power, captures a lot of my feelings, thank you.
“It’s good to feel alive, to be connected to the genocide and the triumph of the resistance rather than to try and be comfortable”. Such a welcome reminder, thank you
"It’s good to feel alive, to be connected to the genocide and the triumph of the resistance rather than to try and be comfortable. There’s a pathetic desperation to attempting to remain fully emotionally regulated, forever evenly keeled, unmoved by the world’s events. There’s an insanity to it that those of us who have actually been insane will not tolerate. We’ve reached the limits of our privileged denial. It is good to feel it, to be dissatisfied to our cores, ready enough to see unjust settler colonial states burn down."
Devon, you've captured the feelings of being a privileged "outsider" learning how to be in community in such a powerful movement so aptly. Thank you for sharing your reflections. I found so much comfort in them, seeing myself reflected in the awkwardness, the nervousness, the timid steps, and finally, the using of the power and the voices we do have to amplify the calls to action for a Free Palestine. In solidarity. <3
