Your Decolonization Will Not Be Instagrammed
1/2
The Revolution will not be televised. Your Decolonization will Not be Instagrammed. “The settler-native relationship is a mass relationship.” ~Fanon inversion~ (from the Concerning Violence chapter of the Farrington translation, Grove Press, 1963, pg. 53) Confronted with an inhospitable world from which they have alienated themselves, the settlers resort to incoherent narratives about the lands on which they reside. First, they tell themselves the land is wild; that it is nobody’s land because nobody owns it. They know land can be owned and they know how to do it, so they set about their project. To do this, they must overpower the resistance that comes from what the settlers seek to colonize: the land and its Indigenous inhabitants. So the settlers consolidate their massive power to seemingly great success; other projects, across the world, even adopt some of their strategies. But the ultimate solution can never be completed, and so the settlers live in constant fear of the resistance. They are haunted by the brutal realities of what they claim as their natural environment; somehow, the sinister truth has a way of creeping in: this place does not seem natural to them at all. There are vast areas of it they don’t even understand, places to which they wouldn’t even fathom of going. Even when they try to live there, the land itself seems to resist! Still, they tell themselves this is their country, all the while knowing that the great showdown cannot be put off indefinitely. The Native is an oppressed person whose permanent dream is to become the persecutor. Unlike the settlers, they know the land, have a relationship with it. The settlers know this because what little they learned about the land came from those who were already living on it. The trading routes of the First Nations became the roads on which the settlers drove their cars; hell, they even kept some of the names of the “wild lands” they claimed. The settlers live with this contradiction; it is rather a kind of curse, a sort of sword of Damocles, for, in their innermost spirit, they know the project to which they pledge their allegiance can never truly succeed. The more they push, the further they seem to get from their goal; and in fact we know that in certain emotional conditions the presence of an obstacle accentuates the tendency toward motion. Like Fanon points out, the settler–Indigenous relationship is a mass relationship which reproduces itself up and down, inside and out, and through all levels of the settler-colony, its population, and all those affected by its constant violence. The well-intentioned settler allies, with this contradiction running through their veins, too often fail to put themselves in real relation to Indigenous peoples, Nations, histories, cultures, and, ultimately, the movement for land back, sovereignty and decolonization. It is clear that the settler-ally is afraid; afraid of speaking out; afraid of saying/doing the wrong thing; afraid of criticism; afraid of giving something of themselves; afraid of not being in control; afraid of the unknown; afraid of knowing, and being known; afraid of contradiction; afraid of relationality; afraid of change. But change, a full transformation, in fact, is exactly what is needed; as Fanon observed first-hand, decolonization means the creation of new human beings.

I'm short on rent for this upcoming month, and my phone is 🤏🏼 this close to breaking, which will cut me off from all sources of income (besides my disability assistance). I spent the last two days basically sleeping. If anyone can help, I could really use it. Mîkwêc.

Fellow Travellers purchased and supplied a solar power generator for Camp Anjitoon Ispahyaasot (Change Rising) which helps the Sisters, allies and accomplices to keep their communication devices charged and everyone connected 📡🔋
A black power generator box sits on a picnic table bench. It has 3 white charge cables connected to small power banks and a phone plugged into it and charging. The screen on the generator indicates it is outputting power and it's current capacity is at 78%.

Been a major struggle since mom had her stroke and I took on her expenses. While being on disability and catching a perma Twitch ban. Now our water pump is failing and affecting our running water. Any contribution rn including sharing this post might help me restore the water system for our family.
juchegang.bsky.social Comrade Larry @juchegang.bsky.social · Jun 8
It's been a rough year taking over moms bills and losing Twitch income. I'm disabled and now the risk of losing the house from overdue bills is looming over our heads with no prospective way out. Contributing any small amount, including sharing this post, could potentially help me save the home!

I'm not going to be able to make next month's rent. Any help is immensely appreciated.
I'm trying to get a cheaper place with the same landlord because he actually does his job and the sense of security is essential for me, so I really don't want to miss any payments right now 😞

Dear Comrade, Sungmanitu ( @zitkato.bsky.social ) pushes themselves hard to keep up the momentum of @chunkalutanetwork.bsky.social and our fundraising. They're doing more than most will ever see or know about. Please consider supporting the Winter Drive, but also help them with groceries if you can.
