I quit Follow the Leader but here’s some closure for you and some closure for me and now I’m done here and I’m gonna start rocking on some better shit. Fox said that change and newness were the measure of life, and I’m about that shit.

#follow the leader #it's over now #thanks for the good times everybody

why the use of african and indigenous imagery while being divorced from the cultures themselves? and specifically used in relation to cannibalism, barbarishness, ferality etc? there are some bad implications there

HEY GOOD QUESTION.

I hadda buncha explaining I was gonna do but I don’t think it really matters. I’m white and I fucked it up. this story was rolling way before I really understood ‘primitivism’ and it’s inherent racism. I was years deep by the time I picked up on the parts of my brain that had been poisoned with this bullshit. I figured maybe some careful editing could pull me away from those early mistakes. Obviously i’ve been playing myself.

The infrastructure of Follow the Leader is rotten and nothing I build on top of it will change that so I’m gonna stop now and move on to something else. Sorry for letting people down, here’s hoping I learn my shit next time.
