A key mechanism of colonial fascism for complicity: narratively transfer genocides to the past + performatively regret them (w/o any consequences like land back, but profiting), while ignoring their presence. That’s all I can think about when I see Germany suddenly protesting their far-right now.

Yes. And it’s a distraction to say "we" when it’s us European colonizer's way of thinking and acting.

Those denying systemic violence will irrationally view resistance as violence. Reversal of victim and offender.

Let’s never forget that Frantz Fanon's dissertation was rejected, which was later published as Black Skin, White Masks.

Imo: Gegenseitige Selbstbestätigung von Leuten, deren einzige Nicht-Marginalisiertenfeindlichkeit darin besteht, sich von offenem Faschismus zu distanzieren, während man den menschenfeindlichen Status Quo supportet und daher lieber Musk & Co statt marginalisierte Perspektiven verbreitet.

Besides not having an option to -lock up your acc -organize marginalized people via PM -post in circles you cannot even block out replies by "not all cis men“ mansplainers, as I’ve just learnt... Please block these people. Don’t make the mistake, we’ve made on X, to discuss their fascist takes.

What is happing with Twitter and BlueSky is a typical neoliberal mechanism: While one major alternative is openly fascist, the other one, which doesn’t have any features to protect marginalized people, is being promoted by the mainstream as better—just for not being fascist towards the mainstream.

Decoloniality is destruction/reconstruction. It means refusing complicity (e.g., Boaventura supporters), while recognizing “that what [needs] to be repaired is irreparable. It can’t be repaired. The only thing we can do is tear this shit down completely and build something new.

Decolonization is destruction and construction, not superficial, liberal inclusion.

Two aging dams failed in Libya—once Africa’s most prosperous nation—and whole neighborhoods in Derna were swept away. 12 years after the 2011 NATO mission to overthrow Gaddafi, Libya’s economy and infrastructure have been decimated by war and now the interplay of climate change and imperialism.

I was at Mills College on 9/11. I knew in an instant what is was going to mean for the Arabic world. Everyone else was just living their lives. And indeed, neoliberal-neocolonial-fascist wars, genocides, and coups had been the state of normalcy for decades. Hence, I’ll remember 9/11/73 today.

East #Libya is flooding — and the West, who bombed the prospering country into poverty in order to exploit the following destruction, is silent about it. Europe creates theses disasters through its carbon spewing and it makes these disasters worse through its destruction of infrastructure.

Academics don't say "hello", they say "I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you", and I think it's honestly the sign of a culture that rewards over-commitment, and we should not glorify it
