Murmurations: Stewarding the Future

(adrienne maree brown)

"I believe we are living in a world imagined by ancestors who didn’t love us, who didn’t believe in an abundant earth and our collective power to steward it. It is time for us to imagine beyond the current oppressive construct."

"How do we pivot from being victims of change to being shapers of it?"

I think choosing victimization is a much easier life than choosing empowerment. Yes??

Because, if I choose empowerment, then, have big setbacks (like I have chosen and have experienced), well, I have nobody to blame but MYSELF.

IF I choose victimization, then, when I fail, I can still feel GREAT about myself because, well, IT IS NOT MY FAULT, it is, YOURS.

so to speak.

Some days I feel like my greatest lesson while teaching is telling a student you made this problem you are not a victim. The self created victim syndrome starts early! And hard to shake.

Which explains MUCH about the drumplican/MAGAcultfan (especially TFFP) penchant for bemoaning their victimization and pointing the finger anywhere but at themselves.

Not just the drumplicans. See today's interview with David Sirota, co-producer of Don't Look Up and The Daily Poster.
