This. And, it's also how I can tell they're choosing not to engage with their remorse over what their ancestors did. That, or they just don't have remorse. But, I think they repress all their uncomfy emotions because they're just too baaka'aakwenh to feel 'em.

Remorse! Try it. https://twitter.com/SaltyLilOjibwe/status/1249429545003782144

It's nice living with the horror or what my italian ancestors have done. I feel like I'm doing my part to transmute the evil that flows through my veins into, like, human insights and shit.

Never ever vote me into power. Ever.

But, it's nice to have reason to be alive.

This isn't coming across the right way. But, trust your Uncle Kwe: It feels better wrestling with the monstrous that made you and also oppresses the world, than it does repressing the monstrosity and turning into a mega-oppressor. And it's easier too.

Maybe not if "easy" means something like "i get to do exactly what i'm doing now without changing anything except i'll suddenly feel better about things."

But, if "easy" means "it takes a lot less effort overall to feel what's way-harsh than it does to repress it," then

"Oh, Uncle Kwe, always spinning threads into trauma therapy."

This is how pretendians get it wrong too.

Being an Anishishinaabekwe, knowing it, and getting abusive, racist bullshit from my family because of it my entire life - none of that exempts me from my fascist Italian blood. They've a shrine to Mussolini. That shit doesn't wash off.

Use your evil for good, iz all i'm saying.
