John Brown Type Beats<p>"Hope is not a tactic, it's a marketing scheme for the biomachinery of civilization. It is spoon-fed little by little to keep us going (progress), to keep enduring (resilience), to keep producing, to keep consuming. Hope preserves institutions of domination and exploitation from those who aren't distracted by its religions.</p><p>Hope maintains the imaginary confines of our servitude like an electric fence; we don't even know if it's on all the time. We become preoccupied by the fabulous sales pitch, "You too can become the master." Hope is progressive reform handed down from above, one link at a time it is the loosening of chains to make those enslaved believe that freedom is comfort in slavery."</p><p>- Klee Benally, "No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred", page 369</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quotes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KleeBenally</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoSpiritualSurrender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoSpiritualSurrender</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAnarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousAnarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hope</span></a></p>
John Brown Type Beats<p>Respectability politics and "generative" (which is code for progressive) conflict are both part of the same machine that seeks settler inclusion through appropriate channels. Progressive activist projects attempt to render positive or legitimate action towards a favorable resolution. Both liberal and radical conflict resolvers are enticed to recuperate and mediate with settler society. They refuse to shed the skin of the civil, of the respectable. They articulate their intelligibility as 'generative' in order to make agreeable their brand of social management. They are the administrators and marketers of The Struggle™. Their liberalism encodes domination. It is the politics of idealizing your captor and putting their clothes on. If this is the 'new world' envisioned. It is utopic violence dressed in a sweatshop free organic cotton t-shirt emblazoned with the words Democracy Now!"</p><p>- Klee Benally, "No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred", page 364</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quotes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KleeBenally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KleeBenally</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoSpiritualSurrender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoSpiritualSurrender</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAnarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousAnarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a></p>
