A screenshotted post from user PerennialAutonomy on IG:

"The infrastructure you are looking at in Europe that you would like to see replicated in your community, and the European ideologies you adopt to guide you in your political alignment were cultivated and built with resource and knowledge that was stolen from colonized people.

Wealth, resource, stability, and (for some) insulation from the violence that is perpetuated (through the assumption that whiteness has more merit) is engrained in our collective culture and needs to be directly addressed, especially in 'leftist' spaces.

We have collectively been socialized to cater to whiteness, white people, white emotions, and white ideology. Divest from whiteness in your thoughts and actions every day."

Every single piece of art we share on facebook diminishes us and makes the enemy (Republican patriarchal society) more powerful.  Facebook needs Republican patriarchal society to continue the delusion that settler colonialism is okay.  Its entire business model is to actively censor and mute and bury our news and stories as it tries desperately to keep floating the dominant narrative of white supremacy. It wants everybody talking about the two-party political system, because thus far, white supremacy has been its biggest sugar daddy.  It knows it can't make money off displaced indigenous peoples exposing the corruption and lies in the system, so it silences us in sort of an echo chamber, where no news that matters can make it mainstream.

The National Association of Realtors is the number one partner of the Republican patriarchal society: landlording, fascist police evicting people, and unchecked corruption are all hallmarks of the fascists who have never stopped murdering the native inhabitants of Turtle Island. Everything becomes whitewashed underneath the false pretenses of American democracy.

Native democracy was different. Indigenous people, and those who support indigenous movements to take back the land need to operate outside of enemy territory if we are to preserve our unique ability to thrive in any condition. This is why I built and maintain Ecosteader.

Have I been largely unsuccessful in convincing people to leave enemy territory, or are they simply not able to understand that they can and should leave it? I'm really worried that the insidiousness of facebook's "business model" is making strong people weak. So many people stuck in that death trap.

People don't need facebook's network; it should not "own" any part of a person's or a group's or an organization's amplification. The more people who leave loudly and with all the logic of pure truth that we who are truly decolonizing can obtain, the weaker our enemy will become.

Added the above quote to the decolonization doc... the whole essay is awesome:

"As Indigenous anti-futurists, we are the consequence of the history of the colonizer’s future. We are the consequence of their war against Mother Earth. We will not allow the specter of the colonizer, the ghosts of the past to haunt the ruins of this world. We are the actualization of our prophecies.

This is the re-emergence of the world of cycles.

This is our ceremony.
Between silent skies. The world breathes again and the fever subsides. The land is quiet. Waiting for us to listen.

When there are less distractions, we go to the place where our ancestors emerged.

And their/our voice.

There is a song older than worlds here, it heals deeper then the colonizer’s blade could ever cut.

And there, our voice. We were always healers. This is the first medicine.

Colonialism is a plague, capitalism is pandemic."

Can you #DecenterWhiteness?

Ever taken the time to listen to an #indigenous person talk about what it's like being a citizen in this country overrun by settler colonialism? You might know blacks votes counted as 3/5ths of a person, but did you know natives counted as 0?
