@Xyalon @christapeterso underrated tweet

[Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty @JoAnnPDX]

Portlanders want a government focused on taking care of our people, not our "brand." If we build a more resilient and equitable city that cares for our most vulnerable and builds up from there, our reputation will take care of itself and be something we can all be proud of.

@Estries1984 The point I failed to make, @zed_xo.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie If you feel guilty for anything I've said, that says more about what you're comfortable with accepting and who you are than it does about me.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie I'm not promoting any sort of tyranny. I'm just exposing that your narratives are all reductive and incomplete and are driving our entire planet into inhospitability and destruction.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie Tell me about your quality of life and how it's better than people who were in deep relationship with the land they lived on for tens of thousands of years.

[Calibanned @wikidsmot]

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie Or tell me about the mortality rates of Black and Indigenous communities in the US and Canada today. Tell me about life expectancy for the people who werent considered people in order to get us to top of whatever fucking summit you think we're in.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie Great. Log off.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie Our innovation isn't predicated on fucking computers, bro. It's ok, these ideas exceed your grasp. I get it. Have a great day.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie If you maintain societies for tens of thousands of years without the need for vaccines, is that not more effective than perpetuating the unclean and inhumane conditions that make vaccines necessary. But you believe that people before colonization were dumb animals. Just say it.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie The suffering has already happened. You dont get to murder and enslave people and them offer the terms of their justice. Either you accept the cost or finish the job.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie Colonialism hasnt saved anyone. It annihilated safe, comfortable, and abundant ways of living that had lasted for tens of thousands of years. Far longer than colonialism has. And it comes at he cost of undeserved suffering, misery, and death. You just think it's worth it.

[Calibanned @wikidsmot]

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie All I've said is that your modernity is not worth the price, as someone who's ancestors have paid for it with their ancestral land and knowledge.

[Calibanned @wikidsmot]

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie This isn't a difference of opinion or semantics. Your definition of humanity and disposition toward pre-modern society are rooted in racism and ahistorical. Education, culture and philosophy cannot flourish under a system predicated by genocide.

@zed_xo @slime710 @MutinyYerBoss @LegParade @commiexmommie I hope I'm wrong, and we're headed for the sort of technocratic paradise that it sounds like you imagine. I guess only time will tell. Thanks for taking the time in this exchange.
