It is not enough to remove oppressors, the system of oppression must be dismantled. – Heather Marsh

People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.

It’s always interesting to watch people in the academy who “study” justice and “those in community” mock, de-value, and question the knowledge of the very people whose existence has created a “expertise” for them.
