I'm sure this isn't what Le Guin intended with the ending, as she was really, really good about a lot of things, including decolonization/anti-colonialism, but this feels like a major glaring hole at the end of a truly remarkable series that discourages us to imagine beyond the end. (18/20)

From these statements, it is clear that the new #decolonization trend is being placed in a dominant, totalitarian position — just as other trends like woke #culture are. Moreover, this problem exists not only in #Ukraine.

What are the consequences of the Ukrainian interpretation of the global decolonial discourse?
In this article, I will examine the impact of decolonial discourse not only on culture and art but also on political direction and military tradition. In my opinion, a very harmful trend — captivat…

So teaching this course and others this semester (on the welfare state, war and peace, decolonization) is perhaps what comes closest from my perspective to what the German sociologist Hartmut Rosa calls “resonance”. To be continued!!

Receipts: King at Ghana’s independence (1957) + his 1957 Lincoln Memorial address—global decolonization, not just 1963. Reduce him to “Dream” and you erase the anti-imperialist preacher. Study the colonies, not just the quote. #GlobalKing #DecolonizeMLK

Like modern anti-Zionism is often associated with "river to the sea" Palestine for a Palestinian state with ostensibly equal rights for Jews but full "decolonization". which strikes me as squashing the whole historic debate and the liberal Zionism of some Israeli founders.

Pumpkin Spice Decolonization
My nomination statement
![My areas of focus
An Ecosocialist and Just Transition -
Redistributing wealth and in turn carbon/consumption, to lift living standards, while taxing fossil fuels companies and using the funds to rapidly onboard community-based, renewable microgrids. Putting power back in the hands of communities and creating a more resilient power grid.
Anti-Carceralism -
Reducing funding for prisons, police and police militarization. And using that money to provide [drug, mental health, youth, housing] services and reduce poverty. Decreasing the criminogenic factors underpinning crime.
Decolonization -
Strengthening state-based Land Rights laws and removing "national interest" carve-outs to repatriate Indigenous lands. While providing Indigenous peoples more decision-making power over those lands.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e5v32j6fj2pjfsufrucblo5f/bafkreidy7oz6vhgbvovxaxdxltk3jemjlberv5you5yrn3vvh5cjfgoybi@jpeg)
![As well as, rebuilding public housing and dismantling abusive, sometimes illegal, implementations of the welfare system.
However, many of these positions won't differentiate me from other candidates. What does differentiate me from many other candidates is not being aligned with any internal faction. I am not a member of Socialist Alternative or Socialist Alliance, and will work tirelessly to bring the voices of average leftists and socialists to the council. I have also had numerous interactions with many of these systems [SAHT, Centrelink, youth justice] providing valuable insight into their inner-workings.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e5v32j6fj2pjfsufrucblo5f/bafkreifgeodllrie5hvce5osera2jergyhbfwrnkidxgzuyashzyctt7vq@jpeg)
