300 Years

I guess the only time most people think about injustice is when it happens to them. ― Charles Bukowski

This post is inspired by my friend @aleluzdosol77's post - Racial conflict, Know thy enemy and the Big fucking club. It's not a surprise that I don't get to see this kind of post from many of you. I suggest you read this because it is true in oh so many levels but sadly most people are still in great denial. Now, I don't really blame some people downvoting deniers. Think about who are the majority of authors in Steemit? Do you really get a different perspective or all you see is the same dirty politics by the same people? What's keeping you from acknowledging the reality?

I believe that writing about these things would be healthy for my mental well being especially after centuries of being brainwashed and 300 years of manipulated history. Colonial mentality is something very hard to overcome, there are only a few people who are able to get out it, but sadly, these people are getting killed here every day. The rest are still sheeps. I'm not here to satisfy your curiosity and give you specific details. I'm not here to listen to your justification - death is happening everywhere but oh wait, let me get a beer first and argue about solutions and politics. Seriously, don't expect me not to talk about my neighbors' death first. From now on, I will no longer justify and reply to comments from people who are in denial and lack understanding. I will not waste my time and convince anyone to understand. You will still have my upvotes though for spending some time to comment and promote your 'helpful solutions' and political side. I'm actually happy that I have already unfollowed people who are in denial and I have been unfollowed by many people as well (usually fragile snowflakes with life issues and think that everything I write is personal), to be honest, I know it is hard not to get affected by my writings especially if all you see here on Steemit/mainstream media is the same perspective. I would rather spend my time exposing these issues rather than defend myself to anyone. There are serious issues around me to be more worried about as well. The tragedy of my freedom is that I have nothing to lose anymore. But thanks to those who can keep reading my posts with an open mind.

I'm actually torn between writing about my cat and writing about what ails people around me. It also makes me feel unsafe to be surrounded by sheeps. I'm not a nationalist and I know the dirty effects of nationalism in other countries. But I also don't patronize this neo-colonialist mentality because this is the very reason why there are farmers getting killed, workers being abused and landless natives. But then now I see there are actually few people out there fighting against the exploitation of ruling elites and international corporation land grabbers. Sadly, there's no justice and there's no winning. There's only death. The majority of people still believe their leader and oppressors. That's what you get after 300 years.

It takes great courage to open one's heart and mind to the tremendous injustice and suffering in our world.

I get it that there are prejudiced Eastern Europeans, poor Russians and oppressed white Americans. I will not even talk about their side at this moment. I would actually prefer to bring the bs of all sides. Remember that we are equally not special in this vast universe, so if you get offended by what I write about then you are only feeling entitled. Don't expect me to worship your political ideologies, or your 'solutions' or your little debate. Racial inequality, ruling elites, and oppression are not something to be denied. I do believe in the goodness of people everywhere but it would be too unrealistic not to acknowledge the great suffering of the majority. I do believe it is hard for you to understand other people's suffering especially if you are in a comfortable place, the same way as it is hard for me to understand your argument while I am in a dangerous place. It is also hard for me to keep an open mind, especially if all I see is 300 years of bastardization, exploitation, economic colonization, and oppression by these people. I will not even mention about those middle-class heroes people look up to selected by these colonialists, who are pro-reform and peaceful revolution. All that hidden agendas, tactics, and continuous economic colonization strategies for the benefits you and your kids are all now enjoying at the expense of others.

All you see is a group of people begging and committing crimes in your neighborhood. All I see is a group of people stealing lands from farmers, killing children and mining gold. Different reality, different perspective. Everyone steals there is no excuse. But I really cannot blame people for hating against a group of people. People are all brainwashed to worship and hate other people and be blind to each other's dark side. I know the bs of people around here, you should know yours too. Perhaps, I can just be a traveling hippie and focus on positivity, love, and equality. But that means I would only be blind to the reality of things or that the history is not repeating.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
