we don’t live in a Hypersexual Culture, we live in a misogynistic, racist, homophobic culture that projects hypersexuality on marginalized people in order to fetishize, demonize, and abuse us

The main contradiction of liberal democracy is that it has largely been shaped through a history of various forms of illegal civil disobedience against entrenched power structures. Such civil disobedience is (retrospectively) seen as justified, and the people committing it are (retrospectively) seen as heroes…but each successive generation is asked to believe that any further civil disobedience would be unreasonable.
