Croisements théoriques : Empire, fractures coloniales-écologiques-numériques et résistances biopolitiques
🌍💻 En croisant l' #Empire (##MichaelHardt & #Negri), #SystèmeMonde (#Wallerstein) & fractures (écologique, coloniale, numérique) selon #MalcolmFerdinand, entre capitalisme cognitif & travail immatériel, deux visions s’affrontent : domination totale vs. puissance émancipatrice du commun. À lire pour penser l’avenir du travail et du pouvoir ! #McKenzieWark ...

Put this into Google: ‘Consciousness configured is the possibility of life’.

The only thing white settlers liberated was their ability to own everything else. Liberty for them was always a zero-sum fantasy.
And then came the Civil Rights era. The great audition for redemption. White #liberals marched, patted themselves on their back, then bought a second home in a Black-free zip code. Progress? Nope, just a facelift on a corpse.
Now in the twilight of #Empire, the mall has become the cathedral. Ritual replaced by retail. Healing replaced by hashtags.

I thought US obsession with the UK royal family was harmless until the queen died. Then , all of a sudden, it was impossible to ignore how many yt supremacist people and groups took her death very, very seriously. When I saw the uniformity of response from yt supremacists I understood that EVERYTHING about UK royalty, including “regency” was supportive of yt supremacy and that this “entertainment” was a gateway drug. #Racism #Colonialism #Empire #Royalty
i contend that both Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie were writing from very priviledged positions about the corruption and violence inherent in not just #empire but #capitalism.
Agatha Christie fascinates me because she was literally in the thick of it, writing about the corrupt “little rich people” (petit bourgeoisie) propping up Hitler and Mussolini with their wheelings and dealings.
it’s been illuminating to read Christie from the POV of her being a chronicler of UK-USA-EU #fascism.
It is ironic that while oligarchs live to control and dispose of governments, governments do the same. Free market ‘doublespeak’ = a captive market of monopolies. Real limits mean it is possible that they can be a bondage or a salvation, as the #Ouroboros being the symbolic representation of a snake eating itself demonstrates. So if Hydra eats its own heads, what do you call that? #Oligarchs #Governments #Empire #Federation https://images.app.goo.gl/wtpuGAn9Wo6WExP69

@KathyBryson @gerrymcgovern The war on #DEI is not the beginning but Hydra’s continuation from the ancient Babylonian assault on the essence of human wellbeing, flourishing and sustainability. Capitulation to the oligarchs Empire can only have one end. Ecocide. It alone is responsible for the Totalitarian terror of our world, which continues with its mercenary destruction and wars on the evolution of indigenous life. Unless defeated biosphere collapse is inevitable! #DeathCults #TheWarOnDEI #hydra #Empire #BiosphereCollapse #WokeNotDope #EarthFirst https://www.earthfirst.uk
