  1. Hype for the Future 119H: A Manifesto on Investment

    Preamble Unfortunately, society often expects only one (1) approach to a “good life,” based on age and schooling followed by a career site and a possible life to retirement age. Society often expects a form of productivity that is performative rather than authentic, consumption-heavy rather than naturally inclined, and so on. The idea that the system society lives under equate stress and isolation with “productivity” is effectively just one (1) of the many lies told by modern society […]

    The Five Colleges region of Western Massachusetts is highly notable for sharing novaTop views on anarchism, decoloniality, intersectional feminism, post-Marxism, degrowth, and ecologism. Each of the six listed concepts is highly celebrated within the region, particularly out of a deep understanding that capitalism creates dystopia and harms the entire population in devastating ways across the board without escape.

  9. #Decoloniality #IdentityPolitics #Culturalism #Socialism: "After prolonged exposure to the jargon of decoloniality, the “de-” in “decolonial” actually begins to sound more appropriate: signifying, as it well might, the erasure or reversal not of colonialism itself but of its concept and historical referent. Why, after all, is there so little to be found in PDCI — and generally throughout the decolonial screeds of Mignolo — concerning the specifics of colonialism itself, its material basis and conditions, not to mention the actual, practically inexhaustible details of its historiography, anti-colonial movements proving no exception to this rule? Whatever the deeper reasons for it, this factual deficit is crucial to the critique and critical decipherment of the jargon of decoloniality — almost as if its terminological extravagances and redundancies and its flat-out rhetorical hubris were ironic compensation for an underlying historical vacuum.

    Part of the answer will no doubt also reflect the typically contemporary and cosmopolitan purview of more vernacular calls to “decolonize.” While, as a slogan, the latter does not necessarily ignore the historical impact of colonialism on questions of present-day racial injustice and struggles against the barriers set by national-imperial privilege, even the most practical and engaged demand for decolonizing does not usually get beyond the limits of identity politics and its conventional intellectual backdrop, culturalism." jacobin.com/2023/12/walter-mig
