“The distinguishing characteristic of #hegemonic #ideologies is that that require no proof or argument; their validity is assumed, understood, and ratified by convention, norms and accepted bounds of respectable discourse.” - #DavidNoble, Progress Without People

For all truly oppressed under the #hegemonic system. Black, Indigenous, and all outliers. Especially my #trans fam.

One of the biggest keys to my whole freedom lies in the absolute refusal to explain respecting your existence to people who are dedicated to being intentionally daft. Refusing to engage those who decided long ago to misunderstanding.

It has nothing to do with you. It never did. Live your life freely and without the need for their verification or validation. Release it completely.

The #OneChinaPolicy 🇨🇳 is based on a #false_claim made by a #hegemonic, #authoritarian #dictatorship. It will be #false no matter how many times you and they repeat it. You should pay a visit to #Taiwan 🇳🇫, where you are allowed to use #Facebook and any other #social_media platform, where you can #criticize the #government without #fear of being #jailed or #tortured, where we have our own #currency, #militiary, #laws, etc. Perhaps then you'll rethink your #useful_idiocy. 🤔

#DragKing #SigiMoonlight described the #performance of #hegemonic #masculinity through #drag as “#playing with #masculine #identities, #masculine #performativity, whether that’s #politicising it, #vulgarising it… [or] making it #silly”.

This is Times of #India, not a regional newspaper. Why not respect Hindi as an indigenous language spoken by majority of #Indians?

If it's ok to transliterate #Kannada & #Telugu into English, why exclude Hindi? It's not like nobody speaks #Hindi or #Urdu in #Bengaluru or #Hyderabad.

For all the talk about perceived #hegemonic project by Hindi-speaking people to #enslave others, how does it feel to be enslaved by #English even after independence?

in the evolutionary stages between chimps, monkeys, and humans, there were a lot of intermediate forms that were not Homo Sapiens Sapiens. All of them are extinct.

Yet, humans that evolved from monkeys are more beautiful, more intelligent, and more capable than monkeys who persisted in their “pure” form.

Nobody can claim that humans have reached perfection and #evolution will now stop. But nobody should be claiming that there are #hegemonic processes driving this.

Join Kurdistan Women's Communities (KJK) Coordination August 3-15 in a solidarity #campaign.

"We stand with Afghan and Shengal women against hegemonic men's attacks": The call insists on the complicity and responsibility of #hegemonic powers, against #patriarchy and #misogyny.

What is discouraging men from engaging or participating in #workplace social #networks?

Is it social roles?
Does stigma play a part?
Do learned #hegemonic #masculinity norms inhibit open social relationships?

I would love to hear any thoughts. 😊

#patriarchy

#Waste #colonialism is the practice of #hegemonic nations #dumping their #ExcessWaste into the hands of #economically #subjugated #DevelopingStates predominantly made up of #BIPOC communities.  

When discussing #ClimateCrisis, it's #crucial to frame it as more than just #oil or #plastic #crisis because doing so #erases the #voices of #BIPOCpeople who are bearing the #brunt of #ClimateChanges .

One of the most frustrating words to read in an #ethnography, especially an ethnography about #corporateexploitation and anti-#hegemonic resistance, is the word "unfathomable." It, often combined with "ambiguous," positively screams for continuance of authoritarian status quo, even if surrounded by words like "#colonial" and "injury." #socialmovements #anthropology #humangeography #imperialism #postmodern #actornetwork #latour #academicculture

Have you ever found you into a #subculture or political scene to find out that there are existing hierarchies that are taken for granted?

Hierarchies that rely heavily on people being coerced to adopt the #hegemonic opinion - whether it is about what bands to like or not, what opinions to have on myriad issues or what to think about people you've never met nor know nothing about.

There's lot of that energy in #mastodon at the moment and as always, it's disguised as something else entirely.

"Let us consider a question posed by McKenzie Wark: “What if this is not still #capitalism but something worse?” Wark wonders whether today a new economic class has become #hegemonic. Perhaps, in passive revolution, the once-dominant #capitalist finds himself subordinate to a new economic actor who exploits an emerging set of #extractive processes."
