Theory: the death of Harambe was the moment that an entire cohort realized that the world is a deeply unfair place. So Harambe represents when their innocent internal world fell apart. I.e., they were young at the time.
The evils of the empire vastly predate poor Harambe’s death. It’s been a white supremacist, settler-colonialist, patriarchal capitalist project from the very moment white people landed here.
I don’t wanna sound like one of those “you said we should improve society, yet you live in it”. That said, you can say what you can say about the US (since you got the First Amendment), but how can say that yet you live in the US? Are you aware of the irony of living in the US in order to decry the country?
This, but instead of your rant against the US, just humans in general. Every country has those kinds of people that would be/enable evil. The only difference is that that in different places their evilness is allowed in different amounts/representation.

Yes exactly. in particular allows for the maximal evil as a function of the maximal ignorance our privilege buys us. There are privileged people in every country, but has a culture which disproportionately exalts the characteristics of privilege, in particular our ability to be ignorant. In short: has a bourgeois culture.
Like if settlers acted even a fraction as ignorant and uncurious as we do in the global South, we would all end up in nameless fucking graves as deaths by ignorance of the world we live in.
It’s really not, it’s only like a fraction of a second of introspection, but settlers are so uncurious and shallow that everything needs to be spoon-fed to them.

You call that a rant? This is a rant! 😆
