      Yes. I am pointing that out. That is the imaginary thing.

      “Somehow,” looks behind us at five centuries of European settler-colonialism.

      “Everyone,” looks ahead at the millions of people who defy hegemonically enforced constructions of human nature despite the overwhelming power those systems possess.
