Throughout the essay, Lorde argues that all forms of oppression are interconnected and therefore should not be ranked or prioritized. By stating that "when they appear to destroy me, it will not be long before they appear to destroy you," she is highlighting the interconnectedness of oppressions and how they affect everyone, not just those who are currently being directly targeted. This unites readers from diverse groups in a shared struggle against oppression.
