TO DO LIST FOR UNFUCKING OUR COLONIZED MINDS:
A Guide To Help You Out Of Being A Slave To Colonialism
A normal amount of listening to music is fine,
but when it becomes obsessive and all the time around you, it is a problem:
What kind of music should I listen to today?
How many hours will I spend listening to music at home, in the car?
How much money will I spend on music, on music listening electronics?
What exactly am I accomplishing by listening to so much music?
Is it all about relaxing? The pleasure and joy of music? Or ignoring/escaping my slave life?
Couldn’t I spend my time learning my heritage, joining in the work of liberation?
A normal need for time for relaxation is fine, one beer with dinner,
but when it becomes obsessive excessive then it becomes a problem:
How much money will I spend on artificial mental escape (weed, alcohol, drugs)?
How much time will I spend being high and/or drunk today?
Couldn’t I spend my time helping my people, joining in work of liberation?
A normal amount of time doing friendly conversations is fine
but when it becomes obsessive and all about nothing then it becomes a problem:
How much time will I spend talking about nothing, bullshitting, talk of celebrities, gossip?
Couldn’t I spend my time teaching others what I learn from studying my Nican Tlaca heritage?
A little bit of time to catch up with the news, see some PBS education is fine,
but when it becomes obsessive and nothing but stupid useless TV, then it becomes a problem:
How much time will I spend watching TV, trolling the internet?
Will most of this time be a total waste of time?
Couldn’t I spend my time confronting white supremacy and the evils of the world?
A normal need of money is fine for rent, food, reasonable transportation,
but when it becomes obsessive then it becomes a problem:
How much time will I spend thinking about money?
What do I want to buy with that money? Things I can't afford?
Will anything that I do to get money be immoral or illegal, or lessen my dignity?
Couldn’t I spend my time confronting colonialism, straightening myself out?
A normal pursuit of a social life, and a pursuit for a life mate is fine,
but when it becomes obsessive and excessive and all about sex, that's a problem:
How much time will I spend thinking about getting sex?
How much time will I spend in pursuit of sex?
How much time and money will I spend on "things" to get sex?
How much time will I spend regretting my pursuit of sex?
Will my husband/wife/lover find out about my pursuit of sex?
Couldn’t I spend my time confronting my colonized mind?
How much time will I spend hating who I am?
Couldn’t I spend my time learning to love my people, love myself?
How much time in my whole life will be a total waste of time?
Could it be 50% or 90% of my whole life that is wasted on empty useless shit?
When will I grow up and stop being a colonized child, a slave of white supremacy?
If not now, then when? When I die? When I’m too old to do anything?
When will I get knowledge, grow courage, and regain the honor of my people?
Will I live my whole life ignorant, a coward, dishonorable, and a slave?
