highly recommend this book on the ways rape is socially constructed differently across cultures and how creating a hierarchy of rape hurts all victims.

I was wondering why I've noticed increased attacks on decolonial scholarship and the concept of indigeneity itself.

it's just settler-colonial things

I know fetterman has the money, ability, and funds to actually find and engage with the history
this handwringing about Israel being a colonial state is wild when zionists literally stated they were colonizing.

in 1898, they literally had a 'Jewish Colonial Trust' and the Colonization
Commission'

The other thing these disparities do is incentivize individual solutions to what are clearly entrenched systematic inequities, and then you'll see headlines about white actors going to bat for their peers while the status quo remains unchanged writ large

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but trotting out the “lefties want purity” bullshit for people who are asking for what should be—and what was! In fact! As of 1.5 years ago!—a basic human right is not the fucking way to get out the vote.
the "lefties want purity" line is a rhetorical device to intentionally misrepresent people you disagree with as illogical and unreasonable— ones who can never be satisfied. it's public gaslighting and really gross.

with liberals like these, who needs Republicans?

just had a guy go full debate nerd in favor of British colonialism, so to reiterate:

Decolonization does not require sending settlers back to their country of origin & implying it does feeds into settler myths about decolonization. it requires the upending of the settler-colonial state structure.

Reminds me of a date years ago when the guy (a chef) asked about my work, I explained it. And then he told me, “you really shouldn’t lead with all the academic stuff, that’s intimidating.” Lolol. So I assume the answer here is “anything about having ever accomplished anything or formed an opinion”

friendly reminder that intersectionality started as a legal theory to show how victims of certain types of discrimination (like misogynoir) are failed by current anti-discrimination laws.
When someone lies about the beliefs of his ideological opponents this egregiously, you can just ignore whatever else he has to say. Literally no one believes this.
