Cultural Marxist hogwash.

>>8602690

>inb4 sjw
no dumb cuck, this is not literature

To me it just means to be mindful of my punctuation. I gotta de-semi-colonize it too

everyone's just going to give lame strawman explanations and circlejerk about how dumb sjw's are

A lot of leftist buzzwords have vague meanings and just get tossed around the way right wingers use the word "cuck."

Its literally used by leftists everywhere you dumb cuck

>>8602796
i go to fucking uc berkeley and have never heard anyone say it
maybe you should stop reading buzzfeed for hateboners

I think it means not to experience literature (at least) only from the perspective of a "colonizer", but to learn to appreciate and judge works in their own context.

Which is kinda difficult to do when you already filter your experience of the worls through memes, like some people here.

>>8602690
Decolonization theory comes from european universities.

It's colonial bullshit, OP. Just avoid the meme and you'll be alright.

no idea what they exactly mean by this, but I think it's something along the lines of 'get rid of the spooks, prejudices, arbitrary shit, that haunt your mind due to media, upbringing, education'

>>8602799
The only person I've heard that from irl is this really Americanized cousin of mine. She's an upper-middle class Mexican who got into American campus politics. ie. buying into a fetishized caricature of Mexican identity that's actually %100 percent Protestant angloshit

Townie here, born & bred.
Hail!

You proud of your thread OP you stupid fuck? Back to /pol/ cunt, kys.

If anyone here speaks spanish, here's one of the best decolonization theory authors, making a tv show on telesur. I just watched it and it was pretty good. Filmed a couple of days ago, actually.

>>8603641
So you don't really know shit and you're just guessing huh. That's some quality science bro.

>>8604550
Oh and in case someone doesn't know spanish, in a nutshell, it explains, from a clearly materialist dialectic pov, that "modernity" is a narration that started through the devaluation of gold with the discovery of america, which made the europe, so far a peripheral territory of the world, rise to power and explain the world from that periphery's point of view. Previous knowledge was denied.

To the dude that said "it's just marxist hogwash", he clearly did not read any decolonization theory at all, he probably doesn't even Capital. It's more than marxist economic analysis, it's history of ideas, which is actually important if you're inside any sort of academic work. Unless you're like a shit-tier academic.

>>8602799
Well I too go to Berkeley and I HAVE had a professor mention it. So there.

>>8602704
lame

>>8602734
stop trying to culturally appropriate it

It means "make it worse"

(post) Colonialism is a fucking joke. I don't think any serious scholars still give it credit.

>>8602690
thinking about the modern world in terms of colonialism is laughable. colonization is the ultimate bogeyman for lefties who believe in nothing but subjugation, raw materials, and labor. "Decolonization" is Nasser nationalizing the Suez canal, the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Haitian independence- all disastorous events wrt their cosmopolitan fairytale. Colonialism should be their pride and joy, as worldwide European empires were the ultimate prototype for a one world government, increasing the movement of goods and people, and subjecting whole swaths of the Earth to the same laws and leaders.

What sjw-type lefties think decolonization means is the abolition of all moral standards, and abadoning any previously established metric for greatness. e.g. Women not shaving, divorcing laws from Christian morality, keeping European authors out of the curriculum, unisex bathrooms, and letting black neighborhoods police themselves.

thx pol

>>8605110
Yeah, because neo-colonialism is working fine for developping countries getting soft couped by US foreign policy, like Brazil, Guatemala and Paraguay.

>>8604987
I don't think you actually know anything about "serious scholars"

>>8605137
These countries and their quasi-socialist policies have dug their own graves.

Similar to what happened in Rhodesia. Decolonize the place to make as if whites never touched it senpai. In South Africa currently there are riots by university (((students)))) to "decolonize" tuition. Doesn't take much imagination to know the direction South Africa is heading.

>>8605148
How? By fucking disagreeing with the US while mantaining different levels of diplomatic relations, without opposing them?

The only thing I can remember is some brazilian president being against Israel, but so is pretty much everyone besides the US and whoever they can buy.

>>8605162
Your memes have no power here.

These countries have corrupt systems of government, they meddle in the affairs of their economies, and it is written as if by God himself that they will burn for their crimes against humanity.

Try to blame it on the US, and I will point you to Chile -- a shining beacon of the inarguable successes of "MUH NEOLIBERALISM," as you call it.

>>8602796
Never heard this term in university sociology classes a single time.

>>8602698
This desu

>>8605137
how on earth did you formulate this reply after reading my post? you must have read it poorly, because i'm against colonization.

thanks for the link, socio.

>>8604634
I've taken classes in postcolonial theory and I have to agree that it's just Marxist hogwash.

You don't inquire into the history of ideas by historical retrojection of material conditions to ground your moral intuitions. Your mind's been colonized by the meme, Tovarisch.

"Cultural Marxism" refers to the Frankfurt School nonesense and Left-French spew that American colleges started to lap up in the 1950s.
