Decolonization isn't about publishing an article, modifying a syllabus, or creating a DEI committee. It's about dismantling structures, institutions, & ideas. It��s also life-affirming. It’s about organizing politically to reclaim territories & collective subjectivities.
Can you believe it? @Hlaudi_Official is being punished and criminalised for paying 53 "music legends" R50 000 each. These are destitute cultural icons of the nation. SA is a sick country for real. We thank you Mr 90% for all your good deeds.
It’s crazy the things that we take personally that were never really personal- we allow the way other people move to be an indictment on who we are when it really is a testament to they are
Decolonization isn't an event organized by the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee. It isn't a land acknowledgment. It isn't a more inclusive syllabus. Decolonization is a (geo)political project seeking to dismantle material-symbolic structures of domination & exploitation.
“Many will appear to have lost their souls in these final days. So intense will the nature of the changes be that those who are weak in spiritual awareness will go insane, for we are nothing without spirit.”

I wish decolonization was just an event. But it's not. It's a destructive, violent process that demands dismantling all spheres of social existence permeated by coloniality. It demands reclaiming and building in the present while knowing there are no guarantees.
Capricorn is the natural 10th house and ruled by Saturn so wherever Capricorn falls in your chart it speaks about the responsibility that you need to take, whether you like it or not and must perform some real hard work regarding that house 🎃
