Difficult and problematic

A young neurodivergent Australian woman, Grace Tame, who was groomed for repeated rape by an elder teacher when she was 15 years old. In 2021, she was awarded Australian of the Year.

Her award came because of her advocacy for survivors of sexual assault. On this subject, she is fierce, particularly when it comes to the safety of children. 

Grace, like the other young neurodiverent woman, Greta Thunberg, speaks out about injustice without filters. As neurodivergent people do.

She is direct and blunt.

Anyone who dislikes women being smart, blunt and direct finds her difficult and problematic. Including our Prime Minister. 

Because of her public profile, she is targeted by the right-wing press and the white men-are-the-supreme-race bro’s. It is relentless and cruel. If you do not like criticism, imagine that amplified to the millions. I can’t. And I am not sure I would have the courage to face such a massive attack.

Both Grace and Greta have spoken up for Palestine, and the rights of Palestinians to both exist and not be wiped out, cleansed, dictated to or relocated by Israel. (Syntropic World stands for zero colonisation, zero exploitation.)

Given the significant global capture of most Western Governments by the powerful Israeli lobby, this means that Grace and Greta are exponentially targeted. They are everything that is hated. A woman with a powerful platform and voice and the courage to speak without filters. Grace has lost work, stages, and sponsorship because of her stand for Palestine.

Difficult? To whom? We might ask that question. To asymmetrical power? To supremacy? Misogyny? The machine of Moloch?  (https://syntropic.world/breaking-free-from-molochs-grip-charting-a-new-course-for-humanity/) The patriarchy? Truth? 

Problematic? To whom? Those who are being called out by the world, in increasing – thank goodness – numbers, for supporting genocide and apartheid. Fragile egos? For making people uncomfortable, as apparently tokens of support to Palestine, like watermelon pins and keffiyahs, do? 

8% of the global population is white men. Yet they hold all of the power. It is killing us all. Even white men. 

If there is a call to action, it is a call to be more difficult. More problematic. As women. As people of all colours and races. As white men crushed by the elite of your kind.

To speak for justice for all. To speak against supremacy of all kinds, including the supreme right to some Biblical land. To speak against colonisation. Exploitation. To hold those who bloat from their power to account. To end monopoly. To end corruption.

If you are called difficult or problematic, take it as a compliment of doing something right against a system designed to suck the marrow out of all of us, and Earth, until we are husks and facsimilies of life.

Bravo Grace. You do not know me. I appreciate you, and I have your back, even from afar.
