Power and violence are the threads that bind patriarchy, imperialism, and white supremacy into an enduring fabric of systemic oppression. These constructs are not natural or inevitable; they are human-made systems designed to privilege certain groups while marginalizing others. Patriarchy enforces male dominance through control and entitlement, imperialism expands domination across nations under the guise of progress, and white supremacy privileges whiteness while erasing its systemic advantages. Together, they form a “symbolic sea” that shapes societal norms, perpetuating inequality through deeply embedded structures. Understanding these intersections is the first step toward dismantling them and building a more just and equitable world.
