  • I left this comment of yours in my inbox for a long time, because I wasn't sure where to begin.

    I think the best advice I can give you is to talk to actual people who are living anticolonialist struggle. There is no such thing as a "brown people seal of endorsement" that you can give white people, even if you find one in a book.

    In cases where activists demand total exodus of white allies, you have to either unconditionally accept this, or else come to terms with the fact that your support of decolonializing, re-indigenization, and sovereignty is actually conditional on Indigenous agreeing with you.

  • Successful in their aims.

    What on earth makes you think I was referring to "white people" getting involved in non-white struggle???? Modern American race politics is meaningless in the context of the last thousand years of historical change.

    I recommend you get yourself a copy of, say, The People's History of the World and read up on social change in ancient Rome, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Caliphates etc.

    What I am talking about is simply a matter of historical record.

    A specifically non-white non-western example I can give you off the top of my head is the importance of the involvement of warrior caste people like Adbaraya Toya in the Haitian revolution.

  • Or something out of a body horror movie.

    That band teacher does not sound like a fun time.

  • Historically speaking, successful social change for the better, eg revolutions, has almost always come only when certain middle class/privileged people joined with underprivileged people.

    Attacking anyone who is richer or whiter than yourself, when they are on the same side as you, is stupid.

  • Sometimes when 2000 AD's fascist satire character Judge Dredd was drawn by certain artists, his lower face was a fucked up lumpy mess.

  • I see you share sime of his eugenics ideas though.

  • He knows perfectly well why everyone can see that he is a nazi.

    The denials and fake butthurt are just theatre.

  • It has always been this way. When you get old, 15 year olds and 19 year olds start to all look the same.

    Similarly, to teenagers a 40 year old and a 60 year old look the same. Old.

  • You must be Ho, with all that computer knowledge.

    I kind of hate it when other people do it though, so I don't. But admittedly it would be effective.

  • Thanks Trump and Putin. Just what future generations of children need, more fucking landmines. /s

  • They do, also it's a wider talent pool and more chance of recruiting the best and brightest.

  • If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.

  • Assuming that whites are entitled to "become" Indigenous through being an ally is incredibly problematic though.

    I mean this gently but I think you need to learn about colonization a lot more broadly. Fanon is a product of his time. I'd encourage you to look at South Africa, India, Zimbabwe, and also pay some attention to contemporary Indigenous activism in settler majority countries where there is often an appetite for separate sovereignty.
