Obviously I’ve shortened what’s being said majorly (it’s a 4 minute clip), but I can’t believe she actually responded like this to her.
What an absolutely awful person; I realize they have to set the narrative but you’re talking to an actual human being who’s lost so many members of their family in a horrific manner and who was suffering PTSD from the horrors of living in Gaza under the occupation, are you actually this psychotic or are you just following a set plan that rigidly? Considering she only got one sentence out I’m inclined to believe there’s a list of talking points to follow but she realized she couldn’t keep down that path without seeming any more of an actual monster.
Where did Fanon talk about this?
The Wretched of the Earth, he talks about how the colonozed reclaim their humanity through struggle, but he also talks about how colonizers imagine themselves as inhuman gods and how anticolonial struggle rehumanizes them by bringing them back down to Earth.
My spin, that the colonizers are monsters, is editorializing.
I really need to re-read that old book. It’s obvious that I don’t remember a single thing from it…
