About to listen to people arguing about decolonising society. I shall keep you all posted.

@buffsoldier_96 worries that this conversation often devolves into declarations of ownership of history. "Black history is western history"Show this thread -
Two audience members are shouting at each other. One asserting there is no need for her to feel white guilt because she has never oppressed anyone. The other saying "I'm not asking you to feel guilty. I'm asking you to stop doing it." "Hmmm.

Interesting. The woman saying 'stop doing it" says she speaks English and is Christian because of colonialism. This is true but I am interested in how the Christianity works. She said "I am Christian" suggesting she is still a believer. This must cause cognitive dissonance.

Pssst. Part of what they call 'western knowledge' is capitalism.
-
There is a Marxist postcolonialism and they are the strongest critics of postmodern postcolonialism. The latter are the ones who go on about western knowledge.
-
I'm not seeing any of these distinctions. When people start out talking about how much they hate capitalism, they inevitably end up talking about privilege, sexism, etc., and when they start out talking about privilege, they inevitably argue for socialism.
-
And maybe this is partly what made your hoax so successful, that in writing through any manner of social justice or identitarian lens, one need only abstract and map one kind of privilege onto another (which is what people mean by 'cultural marxism') in order to do scholarship.
-
That just isn't how it works tho. I can't explain it on Twitter but it isn't. Different epistemologies. Different intellectual history.
-
And all I am saying is that they don't know and they don't care. The mainstream left has become an identitarian/radical conglomerate pretending to be liberals. I'm not arguing the philosophy, I'm talking about their manifestations.

I mean, whoever so wishes to put themselves at a disadvantage like that is welcome to do so, although those that depend on them may have something to say about it

Reread my tweet shitlord, they're allowed to do that I just wonder whether their loved ones might not be upset at the funeral

Uh, like, wow??? Reading is a social construct and your insistence on being literate is embedded within western (racist) 'education' and values. I refuse to partake and shall ooga booga henceforth.

"Unlearning Western Knowledge" ???? Errr.... that is the problem! We live in a culture that has no recognition of their own intellectual history, own history in general, own literary, philosophical, and religious traditions, art, music, etc.

Proper lighting is apparently some of that western knowledge they decided to unlearn.

“Boko Haram” translates literally as “western learning (books) is forbidden.” Who knew they were such a woke organization?

When someone talks about "unlearning western knowledge" I take them at their word and turn off the lights.
