Colonialism is a design flaw. The system of hierarchy, of oppression and extraction is created by design and supported by oppressive aesthetics in order for it to prosper and outlive us all. Colonialism created Climate Change.
Our collective liberation depends on how we design our systems and how we can imagine, design and build a world that we all deserve and want.
