Oppressors Made the Decision to Oppress

This is a reminder that historically, but also in this very moment, oppressors are making the very intentional decision to oppress.

Mass disabling people is a decision.
Spending billions for a militarized abduction force is a decision.
War, real estate development, and individualism are detrimental decisions that people are making.
The system of binary thinking is a decision.
Fascism is a decision.
Committing genocide is a decision.
Surveillance is a decision.
AI climate destruction is a decision.
Land theft, always choosing profits over people, abysmal health care systems,
low wages, failed housing and education infrastructure, prisons, and police, those are all decisions that people made.

So the question is not why are they doing this?
We already have the answer.
It is because they decided to.
It is because this is what oppressors chose.
Oppressors have made the decision to oppress.

But also remember, we have choices too.
We can decide to protect each other.
People who benefit more from the white cis het capitalist colonial system we are in
can make the decision to be a traitor to the systems of power.
We can decide that we do not want oppressors and oppression.
We can decide that the only option is for us to be free.
We can decide to dismantle Empire.
We can decide to build a liberatory world.
We can decide to fight until all of us are liberated.

That is our choice.
That is our decision.

We choose liberation.
