Give people a sense of reality to create their reality in.

And it is, like you said, a form of propaganda and it's mind control.

That's that's what it is.

It's not a cold one.

It's pretty hot.

No, it's very.

And it's like, but that's what them showing those types of things on the television does to you.

It puts the fear in you to say that if I step up and I try to do something, that's what's going to happen to me.

And that's how you keep people in the position that we're in.

And so it's really about understanding our relationship to it and what we're actually willing to do.

And so I was thinking about the Black Liberation Army more recently and just really getting more into war science and military science and just understanding what it is that we're really dealing with because it's not just a political game.

This is real and our lives really depend on it.

And so understanding that this is

a war of the oppressed, global oppressed peoples.

But I think that Black Americans, we have a very important role here in how we sort of ignite the fire across the world.

And not in a savior sort of complex, but really understanding that we have a unique positioning, not only just like in our history and what has happened to us and what we've endured and what we've been able to progress through, but really understanding

what we know and how we know that we really set the tone for culture everywhere.

And so when we stop engaging with these systems, when we stop wanting to be a part of these systems, when we stop upholding and uplifting them, the whole world going to follow suit.

But we really have to get in tune with our own selves to organize our own selves and really understand what that looks like.

And I think having that war-based mindset is necessary.
