    What caused you to question the family/Western narrative, if it’s not too rude to ask?

      I am a victim of child abuse, ableism, misrepresentation of marginalized groups, and racist white authorities in Parkdale high school and Bowmore middle school. This mistreatment motivated me to question the oppressive political system in Pax Americana that relies on good climate, stolen fertile land, stretegic trading locations, early opportunity for industrialization, colonial authoritarianism, and good relation with global empires. There is also the indoctrination in cartoon shows that convinces people to antagonized oppressed people, follow ‘proper’ authority blindly, blindly trust media oligarchy, act independently from other oppressed people, and judge other people without considering their circumstances. The criticism in the anti-Communist propaganda also resembles the frequent false accusation towards me.

        That’s a rather long rude awakening. I’m sorry you went through it, and at once glad you didn’t repress the obvious and turn it inward toward self-abuse/gaslighting. I’m honored to be among good company.
