    No really, why should I want this country(that mind you, has stolen our history, our culture, our names, our religions, and any kind of generational wealth we may have been able to scrape together during the failure of Reconstruction) to perpetuate? Why shouldn’t I want it to fall, when settlers have made war in this country against subjects-of-empire day in and day out, every day of my life? Why should I find common cause with you when you just can’t help yourself but bad-faith slander my views second-zero of you engaging with me? That being asked, get fucking lost. Can’t wait to watch the house of cards fall in.

      Because when people think things couldn’t get much worse, they are always proven wrong.

      You keep fighting to make things better because they will always find another level below rock bottom. You don’t fight for the status quo. You don’t fight expecting perfection. You fight to let them know you’re going to keep fighting and that you’re never going away.
