‘The really frightening thing we are losing today is not the intellectual. The really terrifying loss to our planet is the notion of a public unified for the public’s good. That’s the thought they don’t want us to have. And that’s the thought we must always make thinkable.’

“They crave influence more than they demand justice…They were 140-character thought leaders who felt liberated when they were allowed 280 characters.”

This observation!!!!

‘Do public intellectuals even exist anymore? Do publics exist? Everywhere you go, the forces of power seek to atomize us away into marketable metrics, …Who are we, but clicks, trends, and lifestyles. We are everything but a public.’

Europe’s assault on the rest of us, who were exterminated and expropriated, continues today – recently and hideously re-stated by the European Union’s top diplomat Josep Borrell. Eyob Gebremariam exposes the language and practice of coloniality. https://t.co/oeJcazXCn3
