    “cultural appropriation” is a term correctly describing a specific form of cultural imperialism that white people have latched on to and now ascribe to literally any example of cross-cultural interaction because it’s easier than having to fight actual forms of structural racism

    I hope you'll forgive me for not buying into the hype of representation in an oppressive settler colonial system. You'd think Obama was a big enough lesson.

    This was always the threat of a democratic socialism that ignores anti-imperialism. While your faves were drafting "green jobs" bills and swearing in on the Qur'ans of slave owners, mercenaries were busy figuring out how to get rich off the whole enterprise.

    A lot of "Green New Deal" solutions require access to cheap rare earth metals: most electric car batteries, some larger wind turbines, and solar panels require them. This is the current plan to keep those materials available.

    Imperialism is not just the acquisition of resources but the arrangement of production that produces the most brutal conditions in places just outside the confines of the imperial state. You need mercenary armies and CIA goons to make that happen and maintain it once established.

    enslaved african muslims existed and i wish y’all were more concerned with them & the documents they left behind than parading jefferson’s Quran as a way to “prove” Islam’s worth in america

    Its a spit in the face*** It goes back to the essential question of what kind of islam you wish to practice. Is it one that assimilates to those in power? Or one that seeks to radically change society in order to liberate the oppressed, even if they arent Muslim.

    And to be honest, it spits in the face that yall would use someone like thomas Jefferson to validate the presence of islam in America when enslaved africans used and propogated Islam as a form of resistance.

    How many oppressive states and systems are 130 years old? How many are half that old? The story of the Hatian revolution is compelling evidence that there's no such thing as an oppressive system which is too entrenched to be dislodged.

    Something I am constantly amazed by: The French had control of the western half of Hispaniola for almost 130 years before the Hatian revolution.

    As a Jew I can read Herzl or Jabotinsky and form a philosophical disagreement with their program. But a Palestinian only needs to look at their words engraved on broken olive trees and village ruins to recognize that they were never invited to the discussion to begin with.
