We would know all about them if the conquistadors and Christian missionaries hadn’t destroyed everything. #History #Colonialism

Because he is a cunt, is that the answer?
Because no matter how you dress it up, it basically comes down to his raging narcissism.

‘For Blair, “the economy and foreign policy” have long been entwined. His military adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan tried to spread the virtues of the market to supposedly backward nations. The privatisation of resources created new investment opportunities, while a wide range of profiteers, from weapons dealers to security contractors, made a killing off the wars themselves.’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/

"Last night around 600 protesters were kettled and brutalised by #Berlin’s police."

When Germans protest against the imperialist, neocolonial policies of #SPD, #Grüne, #FDP and #CDU / #CSU these parties show how authoritarian they are and that all the talk of democracy and values is just #propaganda.

"Big Tech’s Deep Links With Genocide in Gaza
Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Palantir are not mere tech corporations -- they are weapons manufacturers of the digital age, producing infrastructure of genocide."

(Partial)
They’ve divided up the world
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
They’ve divided up the world
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore

[Couplet 1]
If you let me have Chechnya, Me, I’ll let you have Armenia
If you let me have Afghanistan, Me, I’ll let you have Pakistan
If you don’t leave Haiti, Mе, I’ll send you to Bangui
If you help me bomb Iraq, Mе, I’ll sort out Kurdistan for you


Refrain]
They’ve divided up the world
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
They’ve divided up the world
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore

[Couplet 2]
If you let me have Uranium, Me, I’ll let you have Aluminum
If you let me have your mineral deposits, Me, I’ll help you chase out the Taliban
If you give me a lot of wheat, Me, I’ll go to war at your side
If you let me extract your gold, Me, I’ll help you kick the General out

[Refrain]
They’ve divided up the world
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
They’ve divided up the world
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore
Nothing surprises me anymore

Couplet 3]
They divided Africa without consulting us
And they wonder why we are disunited
Part of the Mandinka Empire ended up with the Wolof
Part of the Mossi Empire ended up in Ghana

Spanish people in America proudly speak Spanish in public — they’re not ashamed of their language or culture. So why should we feel ashamed speak ?

Speaking French in public has nothing to do with . My coworker is from Senegal speaks both English and French, and I speak to him at work in French just like Spanish people at work are proud to speak theirs.

So please, stop with nonsense about or French that divides us. Language is culture, not conflict

Gaza is a nice piece of real estate

Jared Kushner + Tony Blair: "liquidate Palestinian resistance, seize real estate, and call it peace"
"Blair’s return has nothing to do with humanitarian concern. It is driven by profit, power, and control"
"More than a century after the 1917 Balfour Declaration, Britain once again takes up the role of colonial administrator in a western-backed project to erase Palestine"

Oct 7 and the decolonial cause

Excellent opinion piece on Oct 7, defining the event as part of:
"decolonial cause, not seen on a mass scale since the Cuban and Algerian revolutions, which kicked out their oppressor by their own means and succeeded in bringing about sovereign nations capable of making their own decisions"
According to international law, the right to resist can take the form of armed resistance.

So those are the evil-doers our parents always warned us to follow - radical leftists, anticloonial activists and anticapitalistic ideologues.

But wait - Greta Thunberg once was the darling of a whole bunch of global leaders who presented themselves with the Swedisch climate activist in PR-stunts that should boost their reputation as being aware of the problem of climate crisis and doing everything against it.

Although this was just five years ago today no one of these celebrities show up to defend Greta against her mistreatment by Israel's prison wardens. Like Fridays For Future Germany, who rapidly distanced themselves from their founder once she raised her voice against the plight of Palestinians, these elites suffer from total memory loss regarding their ostentatious sympathy for Greta.

Lesson learned - don't pose with activists like her - you never know what the future might bring.

On a city tour through Leipzig, we explore the traces of German colonialism. To understand what a decolonial culture of remembrance means, we must make invisible places visible and create space for the history of Black and migrant communities in Leipzig.

When? Thursday, October 9, at 2 p.m.
Where? We meet at Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz in front of the city library.

#Leipzig #colonialism #Stadtrundgang

The image is a dark green poster advertising a walking tour. At the top, in large, bold, white font, is the text "POSTKOLINIALER STADTRUNDGANG". Below that, in slightly smaller white font, reads "by Leipzig Postkolonial". 
Further down, the text “Donnerstag, 09.10., 14 Uhr vor der Stadtbibliothek” is displayed. A circular logo with a white background and green text “CAS CRITICAL AFRICAN STUDIES FORUM” appears in the lower left corner. A winding, dashed white line, shaped like a path with several marker points, extends from the lower right to the upper right side of the poster.
