Intersectional justice conference, jesus

skipped to 10 mins in, so the founding fathers got their ideas, including to the leave the british empire, from the Iroquois. Right.

It starts to get really good about 15 minutes in. It's like if you truly wanted to create an actual person to represent the nutty social studies warrior stereotype in all its forms. White males are solely to blame for all animal extinction because [train of shaky connections and statements followed by "this is colonialism" over and over]. Also, animal rights and environmentalism and conservation and stuff like that is actually bad too because it's secretly just more colonialism because they're indigenous ideas and wisdom co-opted by white men and corrupted. She even tears up when talking about the animals and how hard their days are because of white men.

Quote from: actual quote from her slides

White people co-opted the plant-based lifestyle and convinced everyone it's a white idea by calling it "veganism."

Her little chant before the presentation was adorable.

Also funny camera shot at like 34 minutes of some bored and frustrated little kid dragged to this.

omg at about 45 minutes her presentation is over, and she starts taking questions

the second person she calls on at like 48 minutes asks if they can read a poem "that speaks to what you just..." that takes two minutes to read

then it's followed by one of the people putting on the thing addressing that woman for violating their bill of rights and making Zarna's presentation "about you" by reading the poem instead of asking a question

Quote

We formed this group out of a desire to create a space for women of color in a climate movement which, especially in Seattle, is dominated by white, cis men. We have a no-compromise stance and challenge and disrupt the status quo of white supremacy and patriarchy wherever we encounter it.

Our always-evolving presentation, called Climate Change and the Systems of Oppression, draws the connection between capitalism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy and climate change. In 10 months, we’ve done about 10 presentations — the public ones attended by around 200 people, and some private ones at universities, a women’s prison, a trans-gender community, among others. Our audiences have always responded with feeling deeply affected and ‘radicalized’ by our talks.

In the last few years, the mainstream climate movement in the Pacific Northwest has developed capacity for direct action, but is lacking the deep analysis of racial justice and intersectionality. We are seeking to transform our regional communities by doing the deeper work of decolonizing and confronting systemic oppression. To really tackle the crisis facing our communities, our deep rooted oppressions must be dismantled, and we need our white allies to develop that deeper analysis.

Our vision for the next few months is to also shift the narrative of this movement to beyond fossil fuel. We want to target animal agriculture, the military industrial complex and other deeper systemic issues that confront us.

i love everything about this, thank you hugh mongus

shouldn't focus all on her just because her recent sexual assault was caught on camera and picked up by the alt-right gators, I mean:

Some days I wish I was immortal so I had the time to fully explore the stupidity of mankind. Being a white cis male is a pretty good second choice though.
