This is the episode about my pseudonym: Roi i.e. Renouncing Our Isms.
Isms are divisive beliefs used by oppressors to marginalize and exploit the masses. Exploited folks, on the other hand, typically use Isms to gain access to institutions built on and sustained by their oppression and exploitation—leveraging existing Isms against one another, and even, creating new ones, to scale the "respectability latter." We have been programmed to identify with Isms as a firewall against evolution and subsequently, freedom. In other words, when the exploited/excluded are working to be included within oppressive regimes, they are not working to dismantle them.
