iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The paper is already submitted and graded, but being my senior thesis I’m preparing it for submission to a conference. I’ve shared copies with friends and am incorporating their remarks (this footnote is an example). If anyone has critiques I’d appreciate your feedback; I’m new to Subaltern studies.

I got feedback from some retired professor friends who thought my use of "global majority" was confusing. I'm sharing my footnote here hoping to spread awareness that we can write and demand an end to the epistemological violence of settler colonial narratives that insist on being cultural defaults.

2 Throughout this paper the term "global majority" is used to refer to all humans who do not identify as white. The term "global minority" is often used to describe humans who identify as white. These terms allow this history to be framed around its Black protagonists rather than being forced to define Silver Spring's Black citizens in relation to whiteness (for example by using the term "minority"), emphasizing instead their common cause with the international struggle against colonization. For more on the term's origin see the essay by Leeds Beckett University's Rosemary Campbell-Stephens MBE titled, "Global Majority; Decolonising the Language and Reframing the Conversation About Race" here: https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/-/media/files/schools/school-of- education/final-leeds-beckett-1102-global-majority.pdf. For a discussion of the reasons for centering solutions to the many forms of violence inflicted upon marginalized global majority populations in academic work and the danger of ignoring the epistemological violence that comes from constructing non-white identities as non-normative, see Geetha Reddy and Amena Amer's "Precarious Engagements and the Politics of Knowledge Production: Listening to
Calls for Reorienting Hegemonic Social Psychology," The British Journal of Social Psychology 62, (2023): 71-94.

After detailing 3 attempts on his life by the CIA's MKUltra program, including one in London where MI6 administered 54 electro-shock treatments to Robeson (hospitalized after being dosed with psychedelics) his son asks, "Who serves the enemy? We should not allow our folks to do that, politically."

Paul Robeson was an enormously influential Black leader who was targeted, harassed and blacklisted by the United States government for his activism. Paul Robeson, Jr. spoke at this symposium on The Counter Intelligence Program on September 22, 2005: youtu.be/8ANMqjslTHE

The USS Lincoln had this "Score Board" posted onboard the ship that bragged about dropping 1.5 million tons of ordinance on Iranians unprovoked.

Picture of a mural aboard the USS Lincoln titled, "Score Board" that provides data on the combat operations carried out during Operation Epic Fury, the United States and Israel's name for their unprovoked war of aggression against the sovereign nation of Iran that killed thousands of Iranians, including an entire school filled with female students that the Americans targeted in the war's opening salvos, as if making a blood sacrifice of innocents.

ugh. I'm sorry man that's a PITF!

I graduated with honors from a large American university's History program without reading Karl Marx once. He was referenced several times, along with other radical thinkers, but their work and ideas were routinely mis-characterized as outdated or superseded. Bullshit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism

It shouldn't be this hard for a human living through the extreme violence that is late-stage capitalism to admit that humanity discovered the solution is establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat, just like we intended to do after the 2nd World War when we thought these fascists were defeated.

Richard Branson is a billionaire... did I miss the years where he spent his enormous fortune countering the Russian operation that encouraged his nation to leave the European Union? No one ever needs to give a shit what these parasites have to say; it's always self-serving asshattery.

I hadn't seen this mural, it lists all the kills of the USS Lincoln. They were certainly out there participating. Same carrier that hosted the "Mission Accomplished" debacle btw.

Screengrab from an Electronic Intifada video showing a mural painted by the crew of the USS Lincoln, the aircraft carrier that recently broke the record for longest deployment.

The mural at the top says, "Operation Epic Fury" and below there are pictures of both the number of enemy weapons they defended against as well as the number of bombs they dropped on the Iranian people unprovoked.

The far left shows the number of cruise missiles intercepted, then the number of ships they sunk, then the number of shahed drones they downed, then the number of autonomous subs they sunk, and finally there's a bomb (same type dropped on Gaza) with the number 1463 on it (that's the number of bombs they dropped).

There are a bunch of sailors posing on the deck, proud of their ability to deal death to the democratic principles that keep peace on the only habitable planet humans have yet discovered.

On this day 39 years ago, one of the greatest African revolutionaries of all time, Thomas Sankara, was assassinated in a French-backed Coup and buried in an unmarked grave. All because he dared to free his people from western colonialism and provide them with basic rights like food and healthcare. 🇧🇫

That’s alarming. I was just listening to a Professor Ball at Morgan State reflect on having similar experiences while discussing the Cornell assaults: www.youtube.com/live/wD45cU0...

My county eliminated the full time special ed teacher in my child’s elementary school, so we felt forced to place him in a specialty private school. His neurodivergent peers still at that school are not being educated.

Most public schools do not teach reading or writing cursive, despite it being an easier way of writing for many neurodivergent students. Don’t feel bad just practice! It says: “Thank you for a restful stay at your beautiful resort. The ‘Maria’ crew had a lovely time here. With love, Angelina Jolie”

Israel's foremost natsec think tank says Israel's new doctrine rests on these principles 1. Jewish supremacy over democracy. 2. Peace is illusory 3. No such thing as an independent Arab state 4. War is key to security 5. The US is declining, Israel does not need it 6. Settlement is key to security.

yes and character limits make expressing nuance tough. I’m being insistent on not allowing imaginary dysfunctional economic systems to replace real ones we can implement within our collective imaginations.

Socialist mode of production - Wikipedia

close but not quite: Marx characterized the social relations of communism, the first stage of which is now called socialism, by the abolition of class distinctions and the common ownership of the means of production. As classes are abolished, the state withers away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociali...

A lot of the discussion around a socialist future focuses on the wrong problem People have different opinions about the type of society they want to live in... Anarchist commune Indigenous matriarchy Social democracy Etc And they may well all work But they all ignore the biggest problem of all..
