  • I will say that living in an imperial core, the understanding of the world we receive is almost ahistorical and blind to any analysis of power. We are not taught about the IMF and we are blind to countries/communities that our systems control. Haiti is just an island of poor people we don’t think about unless there is a call for donations or someone goes on a “charity trip” (morality puff vacation).

    There is an intentional wall between people in the imperial core and the imperial periphery - maybe because when we learn about how our governments and corporations actually work we oppose them. But a lot of people choose willful ignorance for sure. Worse than hate or revenge, the general populace is taught to not care - would be too inspirational to care.

    From the IMF’s and France’s perspective, they have subverted and recuperated the Haitian revolution. Welcome to client statehood.

    It will take solidarity across national, racial, religious, etc lines to undo the harms of colonialism/neocolonialism and white supremacy.
