    The western emphasis on the “I’m OK You’re OK” brand of spirituality means that no one can accept responsibility for collective injustices. That’s not to say that “I” am personally responsible for the suffering of e.g. racialized minorities or gender minorities, but “I” am responsible to know how these systems of oppression work and what I can do to help relieve that suffering. Or at least not contribute to making them worse. No, that brand of spirituality wants to avoid any feeling or threat of guilt whatsoever.
