don’t believe you have rights

rights discourse has its origins in philosophically/legally shoring up the ability of white monied people to colonize, enslave, murder, rape indigenous people/women/people of color/poor people

human rights as they were originally conceived necessarily protected the people who stood to gain from the expansion of capital/settler colonialism

claiming rights, constitutional or otherwise, consistently fails in the face of the violent state apparatuses that “offered” us those rights in the first place

fuck rights
