wvParticipantHere, Jamaican philosopher Prof Charles Mills breaks down precisely what race is. A social ontology that creates our social hierarchies. That social hierarchy is what we call racism, or as we prefer to call it … the “system of white supremacy”

wvParticipantI dont have a shadow of a doubt about that, zooey.
The Dem part of the duopoly (the Dem media) is always
calling the dem-tune.Over the last decade, as the media concentration
has gotten worse, and worse. And worse.
Its now, just so obvious what has happened.Meanwhile, the Rep-Media, and the Dem-media
all complain about the ‘great divide’ in the US.And yes, there’s a great divide between the
Dems and Reps.But its a capitalist-duopoly divide.
So, its like a weird deep fissure, but its not ‘wide’.
Or its wide, but not deep. Whichever metaphor works. 🙂This will never be mentioned in the media
of course.w

wvParticipantLittle thread on covid, asian-hate, and Taiwan
Y'all know my parents moved to Taipei (Taiwan) to get away from the anti-Asian hate in the States.
Taiwan has a population of 23.5 million.

Not a typo.

A few of the 53 "potted landscapes" made for each of the stations of the Tōkaidō road, the most important route in Edo-period Japan.

wvParticipantTHREAD:
As police and politicians insist that this wave of uprisings is the sole work of "outside agitators" to justify violent crackdowns, now's the time to revisit the long, racist history of the term and its role of fracturing solidarity in the name of counter-insurgency. pic.twitter.com/KqSFzxBuWM
