“Haríamos bien en no perder de vista que cualquier gesto descolonizador, por inocuo que nos parezca, es una crítica a las políticas imperiales. Y que como tal, su efecto no se produce en el pasado, sino en el presente y en el futuro” @guerraenlauni.bsky.social y que aún haya que explicar esto…

Transnational Institute@tninstitute.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew report: The EU paid universities more than €100 million to build Europe’s border regime Universities provide research, analysis, data and technology for border and migration control - and lend an illusion of scientific legitimacy to ethically questionable policies. tni.org/borderlabs
The UK & EU abstained from the #UN non-binding (!) resolution on recognising the trafficking of enslaved Africans as the "gravest crime against humanity”. As if this had nothing to do w/ their #colonial and enslaving history & legacies. The US, Israel and Argentina even voted against it! #slavery
UN classes slave trade as 'gravest crime against humanity'
The UN General Assembly has passed the resolution on transatlantic slavery despite opposition from the US and European countries.

One of the really soothing things about the ruins of castles is that they are ruins. Militarism seems everlasting sometimes, but even the strongest fortresses crumble and the only thing certain is change
