Proof I’m right

They wouldn’t hate me so much if they weren’t afraid of me

*Trigger Warning* threats of violence, death threats, gun threats

A picture on a beach with the ocean behind and rocks rising from the shoreline. In the center foreground stands a brown-skinned woman on a rock on the beach. She is wearing a grey dress, sunglasses, and her hair is braided. She is holding kelp in each hand and wielding them like whips.

I receive death threats and gun threats all the time. Threats of mass shootings, explosions. Threats directed at my community. It’s normal for me. I’ve been receiving them for years now because these white Abrahamic supremacist imperialist patriarchs can’t stand it when I expose their lies. Their fragility is laughable.

If anything were ever proof about the systems of oppression, about Abrahamic supremacy, about the evil that is this empire, murdering little ol’ me would be it. They’re so threatened by one 5 foot 2 inch brown Hindu woman who has no money that they think killing me is some kind of victory. It’s proof they’re cowards. Proof they’re terrified that people are actually listening to me and are working to dismantle this empire.

Now, all the threats I get could be hoaxes, sure. And knowing these white Abrahamic supremacists, it could also be real. Abrahamic and white supremacy kills people everyday. Patriarchy kills people every day. Gun violence is normal in the United States of America and these men are so cowardly, they’ll hurt anyone to keep control of their empire. They’ve done it for well over 1,600+ years, going all the way back to the Romans. Remember that…
