What is #Afropessimism ? What is #history ? What can history (not) do in service of black people given the insights of Afropessimism? If history fails to service black people, what should be done with history? This article argues that an unavoidable conclusion of Afropessimism is that history, a disciplinary mode of knowledge production, is tethered to the historical construct of the Human and thus is exploitative of the Slave/the Black, which is the negative image of the Human.

This article elaborates on the implications of this indictment of history, suggesting that invention of different ways of being becomes at least possible to imagine—to think about—when history is brought into relief, not as the form by which historians account for the past but rather as the evidence of who historians are and what they value in the world as it exists.

Please avoid generalizations which shift the blame. Western civilization is not the whole of humanity. Identifying the problem is key to figuring out the solution. The systems imposed by the west are the problem.

caracterizar la violencia machista desde el "sólo por ser mujer" me parece errado porque esa generalización oculta que es en ciertas sociedades y culturas donde sucede. la cultura dominante no es la única. la colonización no destruyo a todas las sociedades, otras tradiciones contrarias. es dar por muertos a quienes todavía dan la lucha de quienes podríamos estar aprendiendo.

“I believe that the trade in human beings between Africa & America, which flourished between the Renaissance & the American Civil War, is the prime & effective cause of the contradictions in European civilization & the illogic in modern thought & the collapse of human culture.” DuBois

Catherine Austin Fitts made the point that Mr Global makes decisions not out of greed but risk management. The risk they are most seeking to avoid is: the whole system that keeps them in power collapsing. As she described it, they profit out of the situations they put the world in, but greed is not what is shaping their decisions, but the fear of losing their control over humanity.

una triste historia: un espacio de construcción colectiva en abandono.
lo que no cuentan: la banda abandona el espacio después del desgaste de enfrentarse a micromachismos que se la viven comódos en dicho espacio.
la solución que promueven: más participación.
el resultado: nuevas personas le dan vida al espacio. algunos lo abandonan desgastados. los micromachos se quedan el espacio y todo el crédito de construir el espacio. incluyendo el mérito de haber sido confrontados por personas que señalon violencias y haber sobrevivido.

I just read a so called anticapitalist stance which made me angry. They consider sex work purely exploitative. It should be abolished. Also, "survivors" agree.

Those that talk about abolishing sex work brandish some sex worker testimonies (the survivors they invoke) like they were weapons. While religiously ignoring all the data and other testimonies that counter their points. It is not even necessary argue over data because all their logic is so trash.

The weird part, is that those that push for criminalizing sex work come from different contexts. There are christian right wingers and so called anti capitalists that agree that sex work clients should be persecuted. Some because it offend the family and God, others because they consider it unproductive and exploitative work.

To some of us that have been expecting the collapse of the US dollar for decades, this just feels like they are letting the accelerate process. I do not believe many US officials know that their currency's collapse is unavoidable, but I would bet more than a few do. Since they cannot avoid that economic mayhem forever, maybe they are trying to time it to their benefit.

I get why you see the sanctions as shooting themselves in the foot. Consider maybe they shot themselves for ulterior motives. My guess is that they did not even consider that the negative consequences would be so much, because Russia outmaneuvered them.
But what would they hope to get out? What is the ulterior motive?
They are getting NATO to prep up for a coming war. The war budgets worldwide have never been bigger. Arms deals for years to come.
I think that there is enough profit involved in moving to whole world's national economies to a war economies to justify any losses attributable to strengthening the Russians temporarily. That is who they serve, war profiteers not the American's interest.

@marathon0 I am not so sure the consequences were unintended.
But it sure does not look like peace is what they want. The choices seem to be only between types of war and when, but never peace.

@marathon0
The big IF here is if the west wants peace. I see no indication that is the case. Mostly because proxy wars are not just bad cases of refusing to consider other nations' demands.
This war's economic front has been raging for quite a while now, but so far all that has accomplished is getting some western leaders ousted while Putin is ever more popular among not just Russians. Moscow's interests are really secondary to the resolution of this ordeal. If the West really wants peace it needs to mind its own populations' interest.

en méxico la lucha contra "el comunismo" es una extensión de la guerra contra pueblos y trabajadores organizados, respaldada por el estado, la iglesia y empresarios. es parte de la intervención gringa. es parte del neocolonialismo.
encuentro lamentable que haya alianzas con esa atroz tradición, porque resulta oportuna para criticar al actual partido en el poder.
