Don't forget your power

Everything is connected, and one of the things that matters most is doing what you can to make the world better. I think that everyone has a responsibility to share about and talk about the atrocities going on in the world.

There is so much, and they all deserve attention: the genocide going on in Palestine, what Sudan is going through, what Congo is going through, and what Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon put up with from Western countries. Police brutality, gun violence, poverty, homelessness, racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and xenophobia are rampant in the US.

Make no mistake, there is more throughout involving other countries. I'm focusing on these though.

It doesn't matter if you are famous or not. You have a responsibility, no matter who you are, to use your voice. That is your power, and we need to use it as a collective. We all need to be talking about this. I have lost any little tiny shred of respect I have ever had for anyone who is not talking about Palestine.

So many people talk about all of these other atrocities and issues that are also important to talk about, and they leave Palestine out. That tells me all I need to know about a person. If they do not view Palestinian lives as important, then they are dead to me as a person. I'm disgusted and deeply disturbed by people.

Palestine has opened the world's eyes.

I don't see how people can even think to deny everything that's going on, and live their normal lives happily without doing anything to amplify voices who are being oppressed and going through a genocide.

It even angers me when someone says that life is beautiful or great because it's not for people going through a genocide.

I hate when people have no morals and only think of themselves. I am equally filled with rage as I am filled with despair every single day.

The rage increases even more.

We need to listen to the people who are being oppressed and murdered by our governments.

There is so much that we can do. We can donate our time and our money, we can boycott, we can protest, we can amplify voices that are being oppressed and going through genocides. We can talk about it, raise awareness about it, and support businesses who align with our values and morals.

There is nothing that should ever get in the way of your values, your morals, and your ethics. There's no reason for you to ever not stand strong and firm in them.

Your voice, your attention, your energy, your time, your money, and your focus are the most powerful things you have. You can use all of them.

I don't know what it's going to take for people to realize that everything is connected, and that this affects everyone, animals, and the planet.

Even if it didn't, you still have the responsibility to talk about it. You still have the responsibility to bear witness. You still have the responsibility to educate yourself.

It doesn't matter how small or big of a platform you have. You can create one, and use it to make things better — even if it's just a little bit better.

You have to imagine what it would be like if you were in their places. The only reason you're not experiencing what they're experiencing is because you weren't born where they were born.

There are so many horrendous disturbing things happening in the U.S. alone. It is spreading throughout the world. We all know by now that the U.S. was built on stolen land, murder, rape, genocide, racism, slavery, imperialism, white supremacy, and colonization. This, along with zionism need to be permanently eliminated.

israel doesn't deserve to exist. israel shouldn't exist. isrsel cannot exist. It doesn't matter who their leader is, their vile ideals are ingrained into their society. zionism is destroying the world, and it will continue to until it is completely annihilated.

It doesn't matter who the leaders of the U.K. and the U.S. are, both countries will continue to be complicit, cause, and actively participate in evil. The governments of both need to be fully changed. The current entirety of both of these governments need to be thrown out to be started over.

So many countries would thrive if western countries wouldn't disturb and terrorize them.

The U.S. never was great, and it continues to be one of the worst countries in the world.

Don’t forget your power. Don’t forget how to use your power. Your voice. Your time. Your attention. Your focus. Your money. Your energy.

Don’t forget them. For the ones who were murdered, they all had names, personalities, lives, and dreams. For the ones who are still alive, they all have names, personalities, lives, and dreams.

If you were going through a genocide, if there was a hate crime committed against you, if you lost someone you loved because of murder, what would you want someone else who knew about it to do?

Love,
