I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

Across Minneapolis, Gaza, Iran, and Sudan, racial hierarchy shapes visibility; proximity, responsibility, and leverage shape urgency.
Structural violence persists because distance, complexity, and deniability allow powerful institutions to perpetrate harm invisibly and without accountability.
But Western policies still shape the terrain β sanctions, debt regimes, alliances, arms β in ways that intensify collapse and repression.
Distance makes that influence harder to see. It's how responsibility gets laundered β it shapes how solidarity looks and how urgency is felt in the US.
Iran and Sudan show the harder case. In Iran, the state killing thousands of protesters is a mass atrocity. In Sudan, hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions displaced in a war most Americans barely register. The violence is enacted primarily by internal actors, not outsiders.
Itβs why Gaza hits differently than Iran or Sudan.
The U.S. funds Israelβs military, supplies weapons, provides diplomatic cover, and blocks accountability. This creates implication for US citizens, not just horror β outrage is immediate once that culpability is clear.
Zooming out, the same pattern shows up internationally.
Americans often react more intensely to white Americans killed by the state than to people killed by American power abroad. That's racial hierarchy β it's racism.
But proximity and responsibility shape urgency too.
