  • “Panic is not prayerful”, notes Quetzala Carson, while speaking on the challenging nature of the dialogue surrounding colonial violence; colonial violence is difficult to engage, because it often involves dialogues on questioning narratives that we’ve known to be normal. Quetzala explains the tenets of colonialism, how our normative narratives are built, and also shares some strategies on how to engage and combat colonial violence with compassion. Quetzala Carson is Mestizx from Mana ahuac, Nicaragua. The child of two special needs educators, pe spent per summers in Managua and winters in Amiskwaciwâskahikan. A professional musician from age 13, pe's current solo project is FRYZZ LYFE. For Quetzala, music is a platform from which to communally discuss and transmute trauma. Pe released an album this year titled Mecayotl Tlazohcamati Axcammochipa (thank you kin into perpetuity) availably at FRYZZLYFE.com
    Per last album was heavily influenced by Indigenous Studies and per times on the front lines. Quetzala studied Māori Studies at the University of Otago and is currently finishing per degree in Native Studies and Latin American at the University of Alberta. There Quetzala serves at the president of the Native Studies Students' Association where pe organizes with students towards decolonial futures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Why does everyone feel the need to view everything in their lives from the most mundane of interactions to the most significant through the lens of power dynamics. Is it really necessary to subscribe to the cult of postmodernism so intensely that it subverts and undermines everything in one's existence to the extent that it extracts all joy out of life, while at the same time grandfathering in a new variety of original sin (in this case colonial heritage, but pick your poison), one that must be continually apologised for and can never be forgiven. This isn't healthy, it's not progressive (actually it's the converse), it doesn't bring different peoples together, it doesn't carefully and accurately discuss any real history, only perceived and altered history (in the Orwellian sense) framing certain people as inherently wrong and others as laudable based on nothing more than perceived modern dynamics of power. It is blind to truths of historical tribalism, it fails to realise that its Edenic visions of the past for indigenous peoples all over the world aren't anywhere near the historical truth.
    One of the few things that can be said of human life is that it is hard, it always has been, but it's not as hard today thanks to advances made by various spearheading cultures in the past such as the Akkadians, the Sumer, Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Hittites, the Greeks, the Romans, the ancient Chinese, the Aryans, the Indus peoples, and the early Islamic world. Later the monolith that Western Europe has been simplified into took its advances (and its germs) to the rest of the planet, repeating a pattern of expansion older than civilization. Now, drunk on a life made unbelievably easier (by comparison) by modern advances in science, technology and medicine, we cast aspersions on the actions of people long dead before we were born for doing things that we wouldn't contemplate doing because "we would never"; don't be so high-minded, it's more likely you would have supported mainstream views than been divergent, you have the benefit of hindsight and a different, more enlightened worldview thanks to the advances made by society in the intervening time.
    I would be the first to agree that the past should be acknowledged, but not in eternal self flagellation. I don't think this type of activist postmodernist scholarship belongs in a classroom where children are taught, where they are once again segregated by inalienable traits. This isn't progress, this is how civilizations commit suicide.

    One place to start with communicating these ideas in a loving way would be to not use the word "violence" when describing things that are non-violent. That choice of concept creep is emotionally charged and will cause defensiveness. Someone who has been insensitive to someone's cultural background has not been "violent." Sitting in those chairs and being comfortable is not "violent." The Conflict Theory is on full display here, and then we wonder why their is so much conflict.

    I belong to an obscure cult which practices self-flagellation. I whip myself every night with an 8-inch leather discipline (not including the handle) because we believe we all deserve to suffer. But last night I was in a hotel room when I realized I had forgotten my leather instrument at home. This was a major, major problem, because without daily punishment, I cannot feel worthy of sleep. So I watched this video, from beginning to end.
    I was going to see if I could purchase a new discipline downtown during the day today, but, remembering the video, I feel like I've probably suffered enough to last me through the rest of this trip.

      ¡si si lo se! como muchos de nosotros en el suroeste con grandes comunidades hispanas o alguien como yo, cuyo padre se jubiló y vivió en México durante 30 años y... gente racional en general... conoce este hecho importante. Independientemente de la etnia o la cultura de la que venimos, todos somos básicamente iguales y queremos las mismas cosas. queremos vivir nuestras vidas de una manera que funcione para nosotros. Un día honesto paga por un día de trabajo honesto. Criar a nuestros hijos, en condiciones de seguridad, y hacer todo lo que podamos por ellos para que sus vidas sean un poco mejores que las nuestras. Trabajamos duro para que nunca tengan que sufrir ni querer nada. A todos nos gustaría vivir nuestras vidas sin que el gobierno se inyecte en cada aspecto de nuestras vidas y... personas narcisistas que no están contentas consigo mismas debido a sus debilidades... usen propaganda política como la que acaba de decir esta mujer, para poner excusas. y pretender ser una víctima, para sembrar miedo, odio, división y resentimiento... para que nunca tenga que ser responsable de sus malas decisiones. Nunca tuvo que asumir la responsabilidad de sus decisiones y acciones ni reclamar poder sobre su vida o aparentemente... su "gente". Su "pueblo", eso te lo garantizo... si te remontas no tan lejos en su historia, en algún momento, ¡nosotros los opresores! Los que pelearon, masacraron y peor... a sus vecinos. Estoy seguro de esto porque... ella es humana y todos los grupos étnicos de humanos en algún momento... somos humanos. Mataban por recursos o territorio, por oro o alguna otra fortuna. Probablemente incluso sacrificaban a sus enemigos a los dioses de la forma más brutal. ¡Esto... es algo que todos los humanos tenemos en común! Entonces, amigo mío... lo sabemos. Sabemos que ella está influenciada, ya sea a sabiendas o no, por neomarxistas y posmodernistas que intentan derribarlo todo para que la revolución socialista finalmente se afiance en Estados Unidos y ellos... ellos serán los que finalmente hagan bien el socialismo, traigan sobre la eutopía con la que todos sueñan, sin tener que masacrar a millones de personas inocentes en el proceso. Están equivocados y esta mujer... ella es su idiota útil siendo explotada emocionalmente por personas a las que les importa un carajo si ella vive o muere. Sólo que ella sirve a su causa. y cuando ya no sea necesaria, la echarán a un lado. ¡Piensa por ti mismo, enseña también a tus hijos y sigue rechazando a personas ilógicas y narcisistas como esta mujer! Lo estás haciendo genial. ¡Te aprecio!

So they try to 'combat' this oppression with their daffy 'activism', but trying to convince everyone that being morbidly obese and dying prematurely before the age of 50 is healthy.

It’s talking out both sides of your mouth. Either you divest from whiteness or you don’t. No more technology or benefits of capitalism and the wealth it creates should ever again be used by anyone who makes these idiotic claims. I expect any person who makes these claims to live exactly the way their tribal ancestors did, and likely still would be living had Europeans not come, because most of North and South American tribes if not all were living in Stone Age level societies.

    3. Call someone in. "From my experience I learned this! I too have hurt ppls feelings." Educate eachother this way.
    4. Ask for time. To process, internalise and show up in the best way possible.
    5. Bring it home. When you need to call someome out, bring that with you wherever you go: learn from it and give people tools to use this in a good way too.
