stevia333k's review against another edition
Between the 15-16 minute marks, she said the majority of people listening to this book do not live under threat of institutionalized violence & oppression, in a sense that she's centering these people in her work.
I am a survivor of the school to prison pipeline & also someone who's been hospitalized in a psych ward. Due to the way the gang culture works in my state, if I'm ever in prison, even without a conviction, I will be sent into solitary confinement in order to protect me from the gangs. And with my disabilities this will most likely be a death sentence. So this book is not meant for me.
That being said, while I think Apartheid still has an impact on how South Africa works today (that the past is not completely cut off from today even though it's a different dimension), she was on a roll about how time dimensions work & how embodiment can result in bigotry.
Also apparently, people just run on autopilot with their feelings? This is kind of strange to me as someone who's been in therapy since I was 6, and has needed to make the fuse longer because of how quickly me being triggered would result in "scenes people couldn't live down for years". Maybe that's a binary, but it's still strange seeing how people of "normalcy" work.

PS: regarding normalcy
Anyways, here's a video about how "majorities" are kind of bullshit when you consider many layers of bias https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCv7surx3bM
To which I say the use of everybody by the British monarchy, is an extension of the we pronouns of monarchs. In other words, the conflation of the overton window... lol sigh
