0:07.0

Yeah. yeah like i just think it's hella layered and like initially when we first said we

0:28.4

was going to talk about the shit of course like the first thing that come to you on i think the

0:32.5

first thing that should come to anybody in mind that's about to talk that's about to speak on something

0:35.6

is like uh like

0:37.8

how much you know yeah like especially we living in time where everybody i think like twitter

0:42.7

just makes you feel like because you have an opinion that you're an expert like all right i feel

0:47.8

this way about something so i'm gonna say and then especially like for us too we have like a platform

0:52.0

as well so it's like we might not know

0:54.4

shit you feel like me but like we can make it sound nice yeah like people do that bro like

0:59.2

it's like narratives and theories if you could just formulate it the right way and say a couple

1:04.3

of the buzzwords like like imperialism you can make it make it make sense you know what i'm saying

1:10.4

somebody say decolonize the military Like that's what I mean It's like who knows what their intentions were You know like Niggas could have actually like Like meant that and not be trying to be like You know I'm like yeah Cats shit Yeah like they could actually meant that Like they think that that's how things work Right Because they just been hearing shit and I had like, I'm like, yeah, but... Like, they could have actually meant that, like, they think that's how things work.

1:27.6

Right.

1:27.9

Because they just been hearing shit.

1:29.3

And I, like, I think, like, early on for me, when you start getting into, like, these political spaces, organized spaces, whatever, you start hearing shit and you just start assuming what they mean, or you see the context and what people use them, you start saying, okay, so that's what that means. and that's not always the case.

1:24.3

Like a lot of this shit,

1:24.9

like,

1:25.6

it's just not what it means all the time.

1:27.3

Are people trying copy and paste

1:28.5

shit that means something here and have the same exact shit that means you know Iran like I saw someone saying like oh but the black community been at war for hell long I'm like yes we've been at war nigga but that shit is a lot different than what's going on in the fucking Middle East, nigga. Like, we don't got fucking bombs dropped. We don't have to worry about fucking drones. And yes, of course, the move bombing and there's been bombings. Of course, don't get me wrong.

I'm glad that we took our time in the way in which we approached this and like, niggas, dear reading as opposed to like, all right, taking a very, right not understanding. Yeah. Pull up, bro.
