The Ones Who Claimed Africa's Whole Gold Inventory

At any point might you at some point comprehend that Elon, musk, Jeff, Bezos or Bernard Arnold are only walking around the domain of the rich? In no way, shape or form these refined men have shot themselves to an unbelievable status, standing side by side with the titans of abundance all through the chronicles of history. Presently, how about we set out on a fascinating excursion to investigate and reveal the tales of the genuine heavyweights. Who've made a permanent imprint on the abundance scene across hundreds of years, John d Rockefeller. While diving into the records of history's most affluent people, we unavoidably experience faces that become the stuff of dreams for scheme, scholars around the world, john d Rockefeller is exactly one such figure.

Reading Visser One’s book she always strikes me as one of those white women settlers that wanted to “save” Native Children from their culture.

This led to the Stolen Generation in Australia and residential schools in North America.

Heck when we see her in the series she is literally piloting a women of color’s body and cosplaying motherhood.

She thinks she is so much better then the colonist that want to just burn up villages.

She’s a white women liberal putting on a gentler face to what is at its end brutal colonialism.

It’s worth noting that alien invasions have been metaphors for colonization since War of the Worlds

I completely agree. There's a blog post I can't now find about older white women reacting to The Help by talking about how their housekeepers, nannies, cooks, etc. were "part of the family." Which — first of all, no. Your employee is your employee. The rights and respect you owe to your employee will always be different from those you owe to your family. Do not devalue their work, and thus the traditional work of women, by pretending that it isn't labor. But secondly...

"We're friends" or "we're family" sure is easy to say from a position of power. Anyone short on power but long on common sense understands the importance of ingratiating yourself to those in charge. Anyone in charge can choose to delude themself that this time when the kid goes "I love you, Miss Hannigan" they mean it. Such is the nature of power.

Like, one I think about all the time: my professor whom we called Professor Trelawney behind her back because she would constantly spout pseudoscience in class. She's not the least favorite teacher I've ever had, but she's on the short list — and on the day I graduated, she introduced herself to a family member as "Sol's one of my favorite students, and I'm probably Sol's favorite teacher." Why? Because I got her to think that. Why'd I do so? Because the semester before, Dr. W had knocked down my grade for "irrelevant discussion" after I argued with his statement that Ireland should still be ruled by England. I keep Dr. W, and the subsequent effect on Prof Trelawney, as my touchstone when I'm handling student conflict. Because. Such. Is the nature. Of power.

As people pointed out after watching Crash: any rich lady can hug her housekeeper any time she's feeling sad, and the worst the housekeeper can do is quit. Most housekeepers with any grasp of social norms wouldn't hug even their favorite boss even on her worst day, at least not without first getting explicit permission. Such is the nature of power.

And these are all softer examples, of positions that you have the legal right to walk away from. (Whether or not you can afford to quit your job is obviously a whole other ballgame.) When it's not just school or work, but it's your guardian or the person who literally owns you... Fuck. Kiss ass or die, I guess.

And if you want concessions, you'd better put in all the emotional work to get them. You have to be sad about being less powerful than the help-giver, but not too sad. You have to be completely helpless in the face of random misfortune, or else you don't deserve help. You have to be grateful when the help arrives, in such a way that makes it clear the helper mad your problem all better but that your problem was completely intractable without their intervention. Most of all, you better do it with a smile: I love you, Miss Hannigan.

Sara Baartman (1789–1815), also known as Saartjie Baartman, was a Khoisan woman from South Africa who became a symbol of exploitation and racial discrimination. Born in the Eastern Cape, she was a member of the Khoikhoi people. Baartman was taken to Europe under false pretences in 1810, lured by promises of wealth and a better life. Instead, she became the subject of public exhibition due to her physical features, particularly her large hips and buttocks, which European audiences regarded with a mix of fascination and derision.

In England and later France, she was displayed as part of "freak shows" and referred to as the "Hottentot Venus," a derogatory term that reflected the racist and colonial attitudes of the time. Her body was objectified and subjected to pseudoscientific scrutiny, particularly by French naturalists, who used her as a case study to perpetuate racist theories of human inferiority.

Sara Baartman died in Paris on December 29, 1815, at the age of 26, likely from pneumonia, smallpox, or syphilis. After her death, her body was dissected, and her remains, including her skeleton and preserved genitals, were displayed in French museums for over a century.

In 2002, following years of advocacy and recognition of the inhumanity she suffered, her remains were repatriated to South Africa and given a proper burial in the Eastern Cape, marking a symbolic act of restitution and respect for her legacy. Today, Sara Baartman is remembered as a tragic victim of colonial exploitation and a symbol of the struggle against racism and dehumanization.🇿🇦

The Paradigm of Capitalism (Legalized Exploitation)

So are we emailing Kamala only about Palestine and are the atrocities still happening in Ukraine already old news?

And dont even get me started about current affairs in Bangladesh and several African countries.

bruh this is such a weird message you’re like this tweet

like are you trying to score vindictive moral brownie points or smthn. These are also things people should research and care abt, of course. The reason advocating for Palestine is so pressing to rally around is because we, unlike with Ukraine!!!, are actively funding, arming, and participating in its current destruction and in the killing of thousands and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

“Don’t even get me started…”. Bro what are you fucking doing on my tumblr blog mad at me abt this shit. You sound like a stern parent. Go make some noise in the president’s inbox if you actually care about these issues. Do you think I’m fucking Taylor Swift??? It’s a miracle the post I made even gained traction lmfao that was luck of the draw + thanks to a few mutuals I have that have wider audiences.

This reeks of “person who gets told what to do by social media” lmfao like I am literally not stopping you. You don’t need a green light from a random tumblr user to advocate for things you care about. Don’t make me god in your head and then get mad at me when I don’t make up commandments for you??

Modern Pirates of the African Coast

"Okay, what do you do with this money?"

-

"The money? I use to buy ammunition and speed boats, and the rest to take care of our families. Because we do our jobs. That is why we are doing this dirty job."

"You come to exploit here and don't want to employ me. That is why, that is the major reason why we are doing this. You don't want to employ us and you are exploiting from us."

-

I find this very sad. These people have ZERO prospects for their future from the moment they were born. Their country has been used, abused and had the wealth sucked out of it over the last 4 centuries, continues to be exploited to the extreme and they grow up in harder circumstances than Westerners could ever fathom. They take from this a lesson: their lives are meaningless to the powers-that-be and if they want any shot at wealth or security, then they must fight to the death to take it.

Is it really surprising then that some of these men with no future and no security turn to kidnapping, smuggling and extortion to give their lives some meaning?

Review of Decolonial Marxism by Walter Rodney

A wonderfully modern revolutionary read. I think the main problem that most of the people i know see with communism is that it was supported by a bunch of stuffy old european men in a time before many of us had rights- rights that the communists barely addressed, if they did at all. Their words don’t squarely fit into our 21st century American perspective. Rodney points out that they don’t need to. The idea that marxism and communism are white western european ideologies are simply false unless you want them to be true, if that makes sense. Places that have adopted Marxism in some form, many of which were not white at all, took the theory and adapted it to their cultural and historical contexts. Of course Marx doesn’t make sense in 21st century USA: it was never meant to. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be taken and adapted to our needs. Saying Marx doesn’t work for us is the easy way out. The hard task we have is to implement a communist reality within the American historical context. That’s certainly not easy, but also not impossible.

Another thing that really stood out to me was Rodney’s strong criticism of “riding the line” He used the example of Senegal under Leopold Senghor - a man that decided the economy into three sectors (foreign, joint ownership, and a fully publicly owned sector). This is not communism and cannot even approximate communism because it still operates within and benefits from the white supremacist heteronormative ableist capitalist system. While when we try to play the world game, we do exactly what we are trying to avoid. To build something that genuinely functions as a communist society, we need to move past any dependence on capitalism in any form. In order to decolonize our societies, we need to move past any dependence on capitalism in any form.

I’ve had a realization similar in my own journey with theory which is as ive become more political i’ve given less of a shit about party politics. The movement is really happening on the ground in community building and what we are doing for each other. It’s also about making this theory more accessible (another criticism of Marx and stuffy old european men who can go fuck themselves). I just moved back to the US from spain and i was really weirded out by their government. They have a thriving communist party in the government. This was weird because communism is super persecuted in the US and is literally a prohibiting factor to enter the US as an immigrant and i had a very american perspective that governments everywhere felt that way BUT also. While spain is a relatively left ish country, it still participates in this colonial capitalist society. To me, it feels like a waste of time to send communists to work in the government when they could be directly helping people. Changing the working hours from 40 to 37 a week is great but if you believe in the fall of capitalism there’s more to do than that. Let the government fall into disarray around you and don’t lose sight of the goal with the piece of candy capitalism places in your mouth every once and awhile. We want to exist outside of it, not within it.

Someone called me a far right wing white nationalist 💀💀firstly, I’m not white, secondly just because I’m not a western liberal, doesn’t mean that I am not part of the far left. I am a nationalist but being a South African nationalist is probably one of the least problematic kinds to be.

did he forgot to change the logo on this fucking login widget screen lmfaooo

(screenshotted 23/12/06)

alt text: it's a screenshot of a login widget for Twitter that shows up when logging in to your account through another website. Instead of showing the dumb X logo that dipshit elon musk made it shows the old blue twitter bird. the page is also in twitter's old white and blue color scheme, i think x uses black and white. the terms of service at the bottom of the page say Twitter instead of X as well, but I'm not sure if that's unusual bc I think the company that operates X is still called Twitter. maybe? i don't know shit and i have to go to bed but i gasped when i saw that logo lol
