I hear many men talk about keeping their daughters safe. The old joke about sitting on the porch with a gun waiting for their daughter’s date. You know the most effective way to ensure the safety of women? Teach men how their performance of certain masculinities endangers women.

The United States and Israel have continuously collaborated in the subjugation of liberation movements. This is evident throughout the Cold War era and continues today from Latin America to the Middle East.

It is no surprise President Ivan Duque stated that "Colombia is the number one ally of Israel in Latin America, and the Caribbean" (American Jewish Committee, 2020).

[L.A. Garcia @AGarciaWellness]

From 1975 to 1979, 83% of El Salvador’s right-wing military imports came from Israel (World Armaments and Disarmament, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, 1980).

Israel plays a significant role in the military-industrial complex of right wing Latin American states.

As you can see. There’s lots of money to be made yearly. And yet, Indigenous communities around the world overwhelmingly do not benefit from this industry.

What this results in is an increase of militarized state-sanctioned violence in order to protect its assets and “neutralize” the “risk”.

[L.A. Garcia @AGarciaWellness]

Capitalism doesn’t like risk. Therefore, Indigenous activists are the inherent antithesis to accumulation in the eyes of the neoliberal state (the manager of capital).

[L.A. Garcia @AGarciaWellness]

When Indigenous youth and elders confront extractive companies and the insurance/financial institutions that fund them in Canada, they are physically disrupting the commodity chains of the global extractive industry. This is why Indigenous folks are also marked as “risks”...

[L.A. Garcia @AGarciaWellness]

I always found settler-colonialism to be quite limiting in its analytical framework when discussing global issues. The history of settler colonial studies is also very white-male dominated.

Indigenous people have always built systems of transnational solidarity...
