Elon Musk wants to get rid of USAID

because he wants uncut imperialism

Hii, Happy Black History Month! I was out last week because I was in San Francisco performing at SF Sketchfest. I had a really fun time and I will tell you more about it later. For now I’ll share my feelings about Elon Musk and Donald Trump attempting to dismantle USAID. Onto the news…

News that made me quote Audre Lorde

Edon, which is how I will refer to the Elon Musk and Donald Trump bro presidency from now onwards, are attempting to dismantle USAID. When I read this news I laughed so hard inside my insides almost exploded. At this point this presidency feels like the sequel to Veep, a TV show about absurd politicians.

The USAID’s purpose is to pretend that the imperial monster known as the United States of America is a magnanimous leader. It’s essentially the equivalent of someone coming to your house, stealing all your things, knocking on your door to give you a little bit of the sandwich they stole from you, then patting themselves on the back for solving the hunger crisis they created. If the United States of America didn’t go around spreading freedom, aka violently relieving people from their resources, USAID wouldn’t be necessary.

Edon’s attempt to dismantle the USAID sends a message to the world that the United States of America is evil and proud of it. No longer will this evil state pretend to care about democracy or people while exploiting them. From now on the United States will come to your home, steal your stuff and scream “who gon’ check me, boo?” We shall call this the “who gon’ check me, boo?” doctrine.

The “who gon’ check me, boo?” doctrine isn’t just a foreign policy, it's also a domestic policy. For as long as I’ve been alive, the United States of America pretended to be a country founded on equality despite the known truth that this country was founded on literally the opposite.

Nonetheless, this country has always proclaimed that despite being built on atrocities the United States was moving towards equality and freedom for all. Of course another lie. This country lies so much it’s motto should be “in lies we trust” not “in god we trust”. Every single time Black people have tried to force this country to fulfill its promises they are met by violence, (see Watt’s Rebellion, Baltimore Rebellion, George Floyd Uprising, et cetera).

Now Edon is telling the domestic population we are ableist, racist, misogynist, transphobic and proud of it. Yes, we will get rid of DEI in the government. Yes, we will blame an airplane crash on DEI. Who gon’ check us? Certainly not the democrats, the other wing of their party. Nancy Pelosi is too busy insider trading.

Also, feigning like DEI is a revolutionary policy that ends racial discrimination is racist. DEI is simply a fascist lite tool that invites a few oppressed people to the table of colonizers. I don’t want to be included in a project meant to oppress me, I’m not Kamala Harris. However, even the thought of having Black people at the colonizers table is unacceptable for the bro-ocracy.

Audre Lorde states in her book Sister Outsider, “The U.S. either ignores or stands upon the wrong side of virtually every single struggle for liberation by oppressed people.” Audre already said what Edon is showing us. Instead of trying to turn America into something it never was, maybe we should end this terrible TV show.

That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
