Speaker 1: Talking to the beep but decogonizing line connecting them downs.
Speaker 1: I'm shy, you should, Shasha. So my final thoughts of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. This has been a year of great
Speaker 1: awakening for I mean not just myself, but I mean
Speaker 1: just like the world, and I know that it can
Speaker 1: be it can just be really frustrating and feel really
Speaker 1: slow and the application of that. I don't even know
Speaker 1: where my optimism comes from, because I am a realist,
Speaker 1: and it's not from a sense of even like my
Speaker 1: own self protection, because like I'm not I'm not really
Speaker 1: like trying to be here like that, like if I'm here,
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm a rite it out, But I'm not
Speaker 1: like like it ain't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be lying
Speaker 1: to myself for that, for like the safety of feeling
Speaker 1: like that's the case. But I do believe. I believe
Speaker 1: that we are about to witness an incredible moment. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just feel that I've been feeling it
Speaker 1: for years now, and that incredible moment does not have
Speaker 1: to be one of incredible defeat of us. It can
Speaker 1: be one of incredible victory. And also, by the way,
Speaker 1: like reassessing what that means because like many people, I
Speaker 1: think consider victory as like we have like overtaken, and
Speaker 1: it's like, no, victory is when you have rendered the
Speaker 1: harm harmless. You know, It's like at the end of
Speaker 1: Avatar when instead of killing the firelord and just removes
Speaker 1: him of his power. So when we think of revolution,
Speaker 1: we don't have to think of it in terms of violence,
Speaker 1: and we don't have to think of it. We don't
Speaker 1: have to think of a turn, and we don't have
Speaker 1: to think of it in terms of traditional forms of violence,
Speaker 1: and we don't have to think of it in terms
Speaker 1: of traditional forms of funding. Because to somebody whose existence
Speaker 1: hinges on the misery of others, it is violent to
Speaker 1: be joyful. This episode of Amanda Amplified is brought to
