that’s the thing with hegemony. it’s so pervasive in how it programs you that you don’t even see it. you’re not even aware there are alternatives until someone jostles you awake. we live in a patriarchal white supremacist christofascist society. the enforcers of this status quo don’t all even understand that these are not genetically imparted truths inherent to our living situations, but rather social constructs enforced on us.
and i’m sure i have hegemonic blind spots too. i try my best to see out into the world and hear perspectives that aren’t my own so i can have access to the full truth. i fall short sometimes. none of us can see all things everywhere. the best you can do is have patience with sleep walkers who are non violent threats, protect people from violent threats, and be open to the idea that you can be wrong, and hope that by living with kindness and compassion you can do your part to create the enlightened society we all dream of, even the christofascist followers, where all are free.
