“Hvor mange mennesker fikk mon gå frie og franke omkring, hvis det f.eks. i hver eneste gate derinne i byen var installert en Hieronimus med maktfullkommenhet til å sperre dem inne, som efter et Hieronimus skjønn var sinnssyke? Og, hvis det så fantes en av staten utnevnt overhieronimus, hvis bestilling det var å skulle se alle de små Hieronimusser på fingrene, mon så ikke disse småpaver en akker dag tur efter tur ville bli puttet i en vogn med en vokter og to portører og transportert til galehuset? Tenk hvor mange sinnssykeanstalter det så måtte bygges. Mange flere enn man kunne få Hieronimusser til å forestå. En mengde filialstater befolket av sinnssyke, spredt omkring i den egentlig stat, som sikkert også i virkeligheten ville være befolket av mer eller mindre sinnssyke, som måtte gå løs, fordi man ikke hadde plass i anstaltene. Og hvor skulle man så gjøre av de riktig gale, de som var farlige for den offentlige sikkerhet og for nestens liv og lemmer? Delm fikk man fort vekke kappe hodet av og grave ned, eller brenne opp i hui og hast.”

“99 percent of the world's warzones are the legacy of white, western imperialism. Until you get your head around this simple fact, your views, your opinion, your advocacy, all are worthless to the peace struggles of these "westsploited" nations. In the modern age no other country has wrecked more nations than America. Like father, like son - first it was England, then it's its rebellious runaway child America. That's why China is such an enemy in the westwashed narrative of the world - because when one nation has somewhat maintained an autocratic control over the planet since the 1800s (under the banner of "Manifest Destiny"), it would never want that control be undermined by another budding power - particularly when that power is far superior in infrastructure. Sure, the state of China tries to influence every move of its people, that's the first unwritten rule in the handbook of "democracy" - but Uncle Sam has been manipulating the moves of every single state for over two hundred years. Now tell me, which state should you be more cautious of? No country is free from human rights violation, but America's share in global transgressions is right at the very top. America is the top exporter of humanitarian crisis in the world, and as such, US is the least qualified nation to be the moral guardian on anything. It doesn't matter whether you are white, colored or martian - denial never solves nothing. To treat a disease we must first acknowledge the disease. And what is the disease? Is it white people - is it whiteness? No - whiteness is not the disease, but white imperialism is. And how do you treat this disease? You gotta strip yourself of all the privileges of skin, and make yourself one with the world - you gotta denounce the privilege of your whiteness and embrace the responsibility of your humanness. Only then, shall there be peace in the world - only then, shall there be integration - only then, shall there be a civilized world to begin with.”

“Greeks did not invent philosophy, philosophy had existed across Latin America, Africa, Arabia, India and China, thousands of years earlier, not as some elitist discipline, but as everyday way of life, later the europeans contributed their puny drop in the ocean, but of course, the myth of europe as the origin of philosophy goes deceptively well with the whitewashed history of earth. Enlightenment and civilization did not originate in europe, they were born of the lands colonially categorized as uncivilized.”

“Popular belief considers Christopher Columbus as some sort of hero, while in reality he was a murderer. While the world admires him as a brave explorer, all this brainless buffoon did was sail around the Caribbean and slaughtered innocent natives who greeted him with nothing but hospitality. You don't discover a land where people are already living. On top of that, when someone invades their land and starts looting, pillaging and slaughtering, he is neither brave, nor an explorer, he's just a petty thief and brut.”
