John Brown Type Beats<p>Covid, pandemic precautions, and public health measures are minimized and ignored partly because they reveal a biological level of mutuality and interrelationality they cannot be denied.</p><p>Your atomized bubble doesn't actually exist.

John Brown Type Beats<p>"The answer at this current moment is austerity and liberalism. Austerity creates the conditions that make us miserable and concerned with our survival, and liberalism gives us the ideology that only worrying about ourselves in such a landscape is not only expedient but morally good..."</p><p>Why Is Everyone So Mean?<br><a href="https://youtu.be/9XJa8Ul58U0?si=7dYx8ygaj5blPASd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/9XJa8Ul58U0?si=7dYx8y</span><span class="invisible">gaj5blPASd</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alienation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alienation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Atomization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Atomization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mutuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mutuality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Interrelationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Interrelationality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sociality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sociality</span></a></p>
John Brown Type Beats<p>"It is not just the politics of common enemies and leftist unity; it is an anti-political recuperation of who and how we are, with each other and existence, in this world...</p><p>This does not mean we will not conflict openly. It is also not a cry for homogeneity or the hollow dichotomy of collectivism versus individualism (not everyone wants to or should work together). Interrelationality sets a point of connection that offers the opportunity for agreement and disagreement (and participation and withdrawal). These arrangements can offer the necessary space for accountability and responsibility to be taken when intra- or extra-community harms is perpetrated. The space that is opened up with this kind of meaningful relationality is the space where healing occurs. This means possibilities of reconciling through and with (rather than a reconciling of). We can reconcile the shitty actions in our pasts and present (a temporal transformative possibility) through restoring (or building) our relationships."</p><p>3/3</p><p>- Klee Benally, No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred, pages 212-214</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KleeBenally</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAnarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousAnarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Interrelationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Interrelationality</span></a></p>
John Brown Type Beats<p>"Indigenous Peoples have long used other deeply inclusive terms for this dynamic. For example Diné use ké, which is our relationality to all existence, while the Lakota worldview of interconnectedness is expressed as mitákuy oyás'iŋ, and so forth.</p><p>Interrelationality opens up a more comprehensive space to engage with relations beyond human societies, it urges us to meaningfully consider non-human beings, spirits, and Mother Earth. To put this another way: the sacred does not live in the intersections of human political domination and exploitation, it is expressed in and through our relationality with existence. The question of land and coloniality inevitably arises when contemplating belonging on stolen lands with non-Indigenous People of color and Black folks. It feels like a contention at times as much of the thinking is in response to colonial impositions and terms. The teaching of my elders offer an uncomplicated response, "Do you have the consent of the land? Do you have the consent of the people of the land? If not how do you establish that?" How is kinship established?"</p><p>2/3</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KleeBenally</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAnarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousAnarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Interrelationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Interrelationality</span></a></p>
John Brown Type Beats<p>"I offer that the term interrelationality considers these dimensions whereas intersectionality is anthropocentric (concerned with human social power relations) and internationalism is too loaded with the political baggage from conflicts of old world ideas and new world ideologies and doctrines. This is not to diminish the Black feminist brilliance and genealogy of intersectionality, but to offer an extension of its considerations beyond gendered colonial (identity) politics.</p><p>Interrelationality is free from such dilemmas because it is predicated on building and tearing down direct spacial and temporal relationships.</p><p>Overall it doesn't matter what term that's used, and I'm not intending this to be another tool in the activist's toolbox for progressive social transformation. The interests I have for these terms regard not their promises, but their limitations. We're not just Nations and sects/sections, so why attach such limitations to the ways we can connect, share, and attack?"</p><p>1/3</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KleeBenally</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAnarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousAnarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Interrelationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Interrelationality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Intersectionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Intersectionality</span></a></p>
