  1. For Wikipedia's 25th birthday some people are doing the "read 25 different articles on 25 consecutive days" challenge.

    I'm going one further, and - where possible (and interesting!) - I'll be blogging (and maybe podcasting!) what I learn each day!

    Here's day 1: danq.me/wp25-wesley-merritt - I got the random article "Governor-General of the #Philippines" and from there found (and learned a lot about) Wesley Merritt.

  2. CW: Article: Wikipedia @ 25: Wesley Merritt

    Wikipedia is celebrating its 25th birthday, and somehow as a result I ended up reading about Wesley Merritt, who was the shortest-lived Governor-General of the Philippines!

  3. I started working on an essay called "Three fundamental disagreements with the tradition", re Marxism. the three are fetishism, barbarism, cannibalism. More personal than theoretical, or sort of in-between.

    So last night i got to reading the anthropology book from which Marx took the concept of fetishism for his famous commodity fetishism, Du cultes des dieux fétiches (1760) by Charles de Brosses, which is about black spirituality in West Africa. Wow, no surprises but it is a steaming pile of racist, white supremacist, colonialist trash... Such "anthropology" is inseparable from European slave traders in Africa, who coined the term, and their perspectives on Black spirituality and the Black societies they were dismantling through human pillage and trade. The irony is that that pillage plays a major role in the development of the wealth that will in Marx's time make the commodity-form so dominant in Europe's commercial centres. Understanding such a transition should be mandatory for any historical materialist...

    Here is the first of three episodes where I interviewed horror author @lana_casiello.

    In this first episode, Lana and I discuss colonialism in Hawaii and her Hawaiian heritage. More to come in the next episodes, so stay tuned. Follow the blog if you like this Confabulation series. I interview authors, publishers, and other writerly types.

  9. Infrastructure coloniale et capture cumulée : le cas du Central Arizona Project

    Andrew Curley montre que les infrastructures ne sont jamais neutres : elles peuvent servir de têtes de pont coloniales, en transformant l’eau, l’énergie et le droit en mécanismes de dépossession durable. #infrastructure #colonialism #politics #water #energy #rights #Curley #CentralArizonaProject L’article d’Andrew Curley propose une thèse très forte : les infrastructures ne sont pas…

    #colonialism #whiteNationalism #humanInsecurity #genocide #ethnicCleansing #tyranny #oilPlunder #imperialism #warCrime must be ended by every means necessary, and the public's ability to demand that — and to read their demands in print — must be legalized

  11. Joseph Conrad - The Heart of Darkness

    A novella that took me just as long to read as a book three times as thick.

    The story and style made it necessary for me to stop reading after a few pages. Like the old steamer struggling upstream, I was pushing myself on, wrestling Conrad’s prose.

    The darkness oozes out of his words, tainting Kurtz then Marlow, then the writer and also the reader. Which is of course, exactly how it is. Racism and colonialism are still poisoning the wells that feed the fountains from which Europeans drink.

    Although it is written in disgust, I think the book is still deeply colonial in a ‘manifest destiny’ kind of way. Never did I get the feeling that someone thought it could or even should be different.

    Nihilist disgust in a painfully difficult style - Heart of Darkness is a black metal album in prose.

    Deserves its ‘classic' status and I do recommend reading it. I hope to reread it one day.

  13. Turns out playing "Divide and Rule" on a country for a hundred fucking years has some knock-on effects on the formation of national institutions

  14. Fascism is way more than most people think. So, know your enemy and listen to this (you can watch-listen without ads via Newpipe app).

    Fighting Fascism- Lessons from the Colonies, with Robin D.G. Kelley

    "Aimé Césaire cut through the mythologies to show that fascism in Europe was no anomaly, it was the boomerang effect of brutal European colonialism abroad coming home. The fight against fascism cannot be successful without understanding the powerful struggles against colonialism from the 20th century to today."

  15. Just finished this podcast series by Crimethinc: No wall they can build. So well done and also available as a book. An interweaving of stories from desert aid workers in their time with migrants struggling across the desert southwest with analysis of what is going on with the migration from Mexico and south of Mexico with specific looks at Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador. And, of course, constant and direct US interventions have been critical for the duration. It will come as no surprise that decades of US foreign policy in these countries was on behalf of US-based capitalists, for example, United Fruit Company. It always is.

    We live in and under a brutally violent system of state and capital though we don't usually see the direct brutality ourselves nor do we acknowledge it when we should.

    If we're not actively organizing to abolish this system we should own our role in allowing it to exist.

  19. The fact the body can get infections also shows it's not you or yours. It's a territory you're inhabiting, and, just like land, you have to constantly defend it against others who also want to either live there or consume it as food.

  24. Don’t call it white supremacy. Supremacy has merit, supremacy has excellence.

    Call it white terrorism. That’s what it is. That’s you call the control of peoples by fear and violence.
