Manuscript used to eradicate Andean thought is now key to revitalizing it | CBC Radio
The Huarochirí Manuscript is one of the few surviving records of Quechua worldviews in the early modern era. It was once used by the Catholic Church to identify and eradicate “idolatries.” But today, for philosophy professor Jorge Sanchez-Perez, the manuscript is a tool for reconstructing and revitalizing Andean metaphysics.

Remember that she is grieving the death of a man who pushed for the Iraq War, which caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East and many US soldiers. All for the sake of profit. While using fake data and playing along with all the US media.

Some people saying, "Palestine has never existed. " Meanwhile, David Hume "Yeah, I will write an entire Chapter of the history of England in connection with the State of Palestine." If people want to call David Hume a 'woke' Enlightenment author for this, that would be a fun turn of events.

Grow a spine and stop whitewashing the legacy of a White supremacist. Unless, of course, you think White supremacy discourse and politics are your thing. In this case, keep going. Is always good to see who people are.

Just to be clear, if someone promotes a white supremacist agenda and the incarceration of minorities, with the domination of women attached to this, that is not only a political position. It is an existential threat for BILLIONS, and as such, it is a good reason to "finish" any kind of relationship.

I think that having concentration camps and a legal system that supports racial profiling and mass incarceration of minorities is political violence to begin with. Also, that those who promote or support those things are promoting political violence already. 1/3

Why are some academics still shy about condemning the Palestinian genocide? Your humanities department will eventually lose most or all of its funding due to the rise of fascism, no matter how quiet or submissive you act. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you have a platform. #academia

Are we going to ask why the US has bases around the planet? Are we going to ask who or what is kept safe with those bases? Because NONE of those bases protect US citizens. Far from it, they endanger them. US cultural and economic imperialism comes at the expense of US lives.

So best case scenario, Israel and the US have effectively pushed for a nuclear arms race. After showing that the only thing that can protect you from illegal attacks are are nukes. Worst case scenario, Iran retaliation could trigger something terrible. Insanity.

I've met MANY Western academics who refused to acknowledge that their societies were among the worst criminals in the world. Now that Israel, a Western-backed ethnostate, is facing consequences for 80 years of war crimes, the West is threatening the world with WWIII to save it.

Western outlets are trying to fabricate consent for a world war, nuclear probably, for the sake of protecting the genocidal Israeli regime. Trying but failing MISERABLY. The ratio of each of these posts is incredible. Is there no shame left in Western journalism? Pathetic

All those who supported the war against Irak, that led to the DEATH OF MILLIONS, and who always bought/sold the lies of Israel will now claim that a war against Iran and setting the entire planet on fire is a righteous cause. Western imperialism is madness and must be stopped.

Nothing says "My country is great again" like promoting child labour and removing breaks for children at work. Florida is truly paving the way for the US to be what its rich owners always wanted it to be, a factory where exploiting the peasants is the law.

Im convinced that turkeys would not, given the chance, vote for the celebration of Christmas. Unlike "Latinos for Trump," who voted for the guy who promised to get rid of them. "I thought he would get rid of THE OTHER LATINOS, NOT US" is a very bad defence.

Now this is happening with healthcare, education, etc. The white supremacist mentality in the US is so entrenched that they are going to raze their own country to the ground before allowing non-Whites basic equality and access to decent living standards.
