Oral reasoning, social intelligence, memory, mediation skills—these were once sufficient to govern communities... Modern Africa, however, often behaves as if only one kind of intelligence is legitimate... [one] wrapped in certificates and foreign syntax. https://t.co/YRs2EpIYTR

The West only understands one language: cost.
Not outrage. Not reason. Not law.
Only danger makes it listen.
Only pain makes it pause.
You cannot reason with a predator.
It stops only when the next bite will poison it.
For decades, the empire has dressed its violence in suits and summits, cloaking domination in the language of diplomacy.
Its smile comes with conditions.
Behind every resolution, every peace plan, every ceasefire proposal, is the same command:
Obey, or be erased.
If the empire insists on lighting fires, then let the region burn as one.
Not in chaos, but in coordination.
When your annihilation is already scheduled, total war is not escalation.
It is correction.
Every delay helps tighten the noose.
The West fears only what it cannot control.
And that fear must be made real.

A liberated Palestine means a liberated Middle East; a liberated Middle East means capitalism in the core faces a real crisis, and they will not let that happen. @jasonhickel

Six months ago... "Do you think in Rwanda or Bosnia-Herzegovina any government officials wrote a document saying: "I want to commit [g]enocide... I have a word limit in my report, otherwise we could write an encyclopaedia." (Francesca Albanese) https://t.co/8JhSvAZWMf
When faced [with] real existential violence, … you might start to think of things in sort of those terms… next time I’ll fight… What is it like you’re trying to survive for… if my life depends on daily killing babies. (Ta-Nehisi Coates) #WhatNowPodcast
