onion person@junlper.beer · 2mo agowhen they released half the Epstein files and we saw that Trump and the global elite were literally raping and eating children, half the people on Bluesky didn't even know about it or didn't have the political understanding to see how vile it was. same thing for Massie’s defeat today.
the average liberal voter is so stupid that they will see a small Kentucky congressional race become the most expensive congressional race in history and will shrug their shoulders and say, “oh, isn't that interesting”, with no true understanding of what it implies.

when all white folks are against you, you know that you’re doing something right.
i remember when we were begging yall to stop hugging cops.
the West does not only exploit. it narrates exploitation as Progress, spreading “democracy”, liberating women from “backwards societies” etc.
western civilization needs barbarism in order to exist.
the enormous violence Europe imposed on the rest of the world was done so because it had to become cosmological. the destruction of other societies does not merely enrich Europe. it confirms Europe’s truth about itself.
Fanon helps because he sees the colonial world as ontological, not merely economic.
colonial language is not merely ‘superstructure’ or ideology. it is part of the colonial making of the world. it helps produce the colonized subject, the colonizer’s authority, and the very categories through which humanity, intelligence, civilization, and legitimacy are recognized.

“European civilization” is incapable of solving the proletarian and colonial problems it created.
yes capitalism is the economic system that developed later in the broader civilizational project but capitalism became the world’s dominant economic system, not the whole world itself.
Europe MUST stand trial for the horrors it unleashed across the world for the last 500 years.

i’m not just critiquing an economy. i’m critiquing a cosmology.
Millennials do not have the ability to save for retirement. Because White Baby Boomers ruined our entire society and economy, hoarding historic levels of wealth, jobs and government benefits in the process. THEN they accused/still accuse millennials of being lazy—not hard workers like they are.
“Yaller Swamp Witch”@jojojolie.bsky.social · 3mo agoI know y'all like to take topics and spin them around but it's very important to start saving for retirement. Even when you don't make enough. www.investopedia.com/articles/ret...
anti-Blackness structures social life so deeply even movements that claim to fight oppression often reproduce anti-Black assumptions without realizing it.
the deeper issue is that left spaces often reproduce a hierarchy where European revolutionary categories are treated as universal theory, while Black, African, Indigenous, Caribbean and anti-colonial categories are treated as regional amendments.
western civilization posits itself as modern, universal, rational, lawful, progressive, moral, developed, while having being built through conquest, slavery, genocide, extraction, policing, and racial domination.

when they ask me how i feel about South Africa? Long Live the EFF.
the world that produces the colonized as inferior has to be abolished as a world.
in the US, any socialism that does not begin from Indigenous dispossession and Black enslavement is already lying about the society it wants to transform.
