RANDOM THOUGHTS ON DELUSION & OPPRESSION

I was having a conversation today and articulated some pretty cool thoughts on the role delusion plays in oppression.

All forms of hatred depend on delusion. The marginalized have to convince themselves that their oppressed status is normal. The ironic thing is that those who question or challenge the normalization of marginalization and oppression are labeled the crazy ones.

I love the way my mind works sometimes.
