Neoliberal market ideology has become a global myth (Foucault, Polanyi, Agamben), shaping subjectivities, desires, and imposing competition everywhere (Dardot & Laval, Deleuze, Zuboff). This is paired with a new wave of neocolonialism: the “coloniality of power” (Quijano, Cusicanqui) and Arendt’s “imperial bureaucracy.”

The second part of the post reads: "If it's news you want, then talk to the different people in the various communities organising in different regions. They want your eyes looking at them. Don't. Move from their dictated ways of engagement. Go back to your communities, which is also the way to remove cops too."

The second tweet, timestamped at 8:34 PM on April 17, 2020, reads: "When ppl say Kenya is still a colony & that many of the state's institutions, esp. the govt., behave pretty much like the British colonialists, this is neither an exaggeration nor merely a political statement by 'idle' critics.

The third tweet, timestamped at 8:34 PM on April 17, 2020, reads: "Acts of Parliament, enacted by the British colonialists (primarily to support better exploitation, dehumanisation & subjugation of the non-white subjects of the Kenya colony) are, almost 60 years after 'independence', still very much part of the #LawsOfKenya. Both the Executive & Parliament have considered these laws & decided they are still needed, pretty much for the same reasons that they were passed in the 1st place by the British."

The post emphasizes that the protests are ongoing and the resistance continues, using hashtags #FreeTogo and #FaureMustGo.

Maximum profit comes from looting countries, not from trading with other countries
From min 23:05, how Russia rebuilt after the fall of Soviet Union and why the West goes to war on Russia, why the hate towards Russia.
Also in the discussion:
-why the UN is a tool for imperialism
-economic colonialism
-war economy
-why Labour is not socialist and the role of Zionism. Basically, Zionism is mandatory for UK politicians
