This is an amazing quote by Irish revolutionary James Connolly. Very relevant to Americans today.
“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.”
― James Connolly

Good morning, citizens of the world!
Please remember that every day is a good day to #BoycottUSA & #BoycottIsrael.
Every day is also a good day to fully reject #fascism & resist #genocidal violence.
Colonial Canadian governments love Indigenous Band Councils because those were a colonial construct to indoctrinate Indigenous peoples willing to take extra monies to work to divide & conquer, within their own communities. They're modern day #IndianAgents & our manipulative colonial governments love their native puppets.
"Yet here we are, still exporting raw materials like colonial-era vassals while begging for aid from the same countries that profit from our resources."
Africa doesn’t need aid. It needs control over its critical minerals.
I was not born to kneel before any government.
I was not born to appease any politician.
I was not born to uphold the sickass status quo.
I was born to challenge all of the above.
I come from a long line of resistance warriors & will fight for justice for the oppressed humans & non-human living beings, as long as I'm alive to do so.
This is a lifetime personal commitment.
I take it very seriously.
Please don't miss the #anarchy part of my #socialist & #anticolonial views.
New publication announcement! Lindsay Amundsen-Meyer's critical reflection on the decolonization of archaeology is the most recent addition to the 59th volume of EAZ. The author questions mainstream ideas about the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives and explores whether such efforts may still sometimes be colonial in nature.

One of the best #Indigenous #comedians - the legendary #CharlieHill 
R.I.P.
He was such a #trailblazer & inspiration for many native comedians who came after. #RichardPryor recognized Charlie's talent & gave him a TV spotlight in the late 70s.

Was, wenn die Teilung Russlands nicht Frieden bringt, sondern Chaos?

And look, I'm the first one to ensure 100% of the blame rests on manipulators rather than the manipulated. But I'm not going to do that in this moment. I'm going to look at what I *did* know as a conservative Christian up till age 26 in 2001, long after these events had been set into motion but still with plenty of time to stop them and roll them back.
I knew these two things:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you + if you have done it into the least of these, you have done it into me (Jesus).
There's no way to put those together without the result: If I do it to someone else, I'm doing it to myself.
If I cut taxes because "my" money is forcefully going to the freeloaders (BIPOC, the poor, the sick, the imprisoned — folks *expressly* listed in the Bible), I did it to myself.
These truths were here all along. Yes, the Manipulator Class wove in all kinds of distractions and distortions, but we had plenty of patriotic and RW slogans that, if considered closely, reveals that we should not have let this happen.
Kenan Malik on Shakespeare, decolonization and universal human rights: "The trend for cultural reappraisal could risk upholding the very ideas it aims to dismantle"
This is how I feel. I am not a democrat, liberal, socialist or any other colonial political or economic design.
#LandBack to me means exactly that - LandBack to the Native Nations. #Decolonization means LandBack and full non-custodial Native Nation #Sovereignty - which is a win-win for everyone in reality.
Colonial systems, different or new politicians and even eternal voting will never fix or reform colonial systems. It is designed that way.

I made this Inclusive BJJ #starterpack for #bluesky
go.bsky.app/CeRsDfk
and then found a bigger one Kesting made called Anti-fascist BJJ. 
I guess I'll keep mine and see what I can find. Can't have too many I guess.
More or less leftish, human rights supporting, critical thinking, anti-racist, #antipseudoscience, #antifascist #BJJ practitioners. #Abolition/ #decolonization/ #FreePalestine oriented.
This has the basics on Palestine by Palestinians. If you're new or curious about it, this is perfect. The first episode had some #history and the second is on the student anti-genocide protests, which you can use as a refresher.

The early cross cultural marriages between Chinese men & Indigenous women occurred more often back in the gold rush & railroad building days because Canada had the head tax on Chinese people & also it was mostly men allowed to come here to work. There were very few Chinese women allowed to come into Canada. The Chinese men worked for basically colonial slave wages, like Indigenous workers - both were paid far less, for same work, as their white coworkers.
