as a rule of thumb I do not debate with white people who believe that whatever governance failures postcolonial African states have had in their 50 years or so of existence are equivalent to the horrors associated with centuries of colonisation. go and argue with your wall bro.

RĂ©ponse : Elles ont cru en bonne foi que l’indĂ©pendance politique = indĂ©pendance rĂ©elle, ils ont naĂŻvement cru que l’État colonial pouvait devenir un État national, que la souverainetĂ© juridique suffisait, pour que le dĂ©veloppement vienne automatiquement, ils ont cru que la France accepterait une Afrique autonome, qu'on pouvait moderniser l'Afrique sans capital, sans industrie, sans bourgeoisie productive. Ce n’était pas une faute morale. C’était une erreur de comprĂ©hension du systĂšme‑monde. Ces Ă©lites africaines n’avaient pas les outils intellectuels pour saisir la nuance et la logique entre le centre et la pĂ©riphĂ©rie, la dĂ©pendance financiĂšre, la capture des Ă©lites, l’absence de base productive, et l’inertie du capitalisme mondial. Ils ont pensĂ© que l’indĂ©pendance politique produirait mĂ©caniquement l’indĂ©pendance Ă©conomique. Ils ignoraient la logique profonde du systĂšme‑monde : la pĂ©riphĂ©rie ne se dĂ©veloppe jamais spontanĂ©ment. Ils n’avaient pas de bourgeoisie productive, seulement des Ă©lites administratives formĂ©es pour gĂ©rer un territoire, et non pas pour transformer une structure productive. Ils ont donc pris le pouvoir sans capital, sans industrie, sans doctrine Ă©conomique, et surtout sans comprendre la mĂ©canique du capitalisme historique. 70 ans plus tard, le constat est clair : les rĂ©sultats ne sont pas Ă  la hauteur. Non pas parce que ces dirigeants Ă©taient incapables, mais parce qu’ils ont hĂ©ritĂ© d’États sans base fiscale, sans capitalistes nationaux, sans industrie, sans autonomie monĂ©taire, sans contrĂŽle des infrastructures stratĂ©giques. Ils ont dirigĂ© des pays conçus pour ĂȘtre dĂ©pendants, et non pour se dĂ©velopper. Leur erreur fondamentale a Ă©tĂ© de croire que l’État africain postcolonial Ă©tait un État normal. Or en rĂ©alitĂ©, c’était un État pĂ©riphĂ©rique, construit pour empĂȘcher l’émergence d’un capitalisme local. 70 ans plus tard, en 2026 : des jeunes d'une dizaine de pays africains se rencontrent Ă  Paris, pour amorcer la rupture vers une bourgeoisie productive africaine nĂ©e hors d'Afrique. C'est la premiĂšre gĂ©nĂ©ration de capitalistes africains qui ne naĂźt pas en Afrique, mais en Chine. C’est un basculement comparable Ă  celui des Japonais formĂ©s en Allemagne dans les annĂ©es 1870, des CorĂ©ens formĂ©s au Japon dans les annĂ©es 1950, et des Chinois formĂ©s aux États‑Unis dans les annĂ©es 1980. Le dĂ©fi Ă©tait celui de faire naĂźtre une bourgeoisie productive dans une Afrique privĂ©e de capital local, privĂ©e d’État stratĂšge, privĂ©e d’institutions financiĂšres nationales, mais qui trouve en Chine un État de substitution, un Ă©cosystĂšme industriel, un accĂšs au capital, et une logistique mondiale. C’est exactement ce que Braudel appelle la rencontre entre l’État et la bourgeoisie productive, sauf qu’ici, l’État n’est pas africain mais chinois. Question : Pourquoi la Chine est devenue le « substitut » de l’État africain RĂ©ponse : Parce que la Chine offre ce que les États africains n’ont jamais pu offrir comme l'accĂšs au capital productif, l'accĂšs aux chaĂźnes de valeur, l'accĂšs aux usines, l'accĂšs aux technologies, l'accĂšs Ă  un marchĂ© mondial Ă  travers les Nouvelles Routes de la Soie (One Road, One Belt), l'accĂšs Ă  un État qui soutient l’industrie, l'accĂšs Ă  une culture de la production, l'accĂšs Ă  une vision stratĂ©gique longue. La Chine joue pour les Nouveaux Industriels Africains de la Pougala Academy, le rĂŽle que l’État japonais jouait pour les CorĂ©ens dans les annĂ©es 1960 : un accĂ©lĂ©rateur de modernisation productive. Ici, la nouveautĂ© historique est celle d'une rĂ©volution Ă©conomique qui commence hors du continent. C'est la reconquĂȘte braudĂ©lienne de l’Afrique qui commence depuis l’extĂ©rieur, depuis les usines africaines implantĂ©es en Chine. C’est une inversion totale du schĂ©ma classique : 1950 : les Ă©lites africaines rentrent d’Europe pour diriger l’Afrique. 2026 : les nouveaux industriels africains partent en Chine qui sert de base arriĂšre technologique, pour construire l’Afrique.

You call yourself a black or postcolonial feminist? That’s cringe AF don’t you know white women in the imperial core *also* experience misogyny! Stop portioning our side off jeeeez.
The term 'transfeminist' is cringe as fuck. Yes, trans women experience issues that cis women don't face. Cis women experience issues that trans women don't face. But we don't need to portion out our side. I'm a feminist. I will stand up trans rights AND bodily autonomy.

"postcolonial game studies"
crazy how just a little bit of reading into postcolonial game studies reveals how often games will casually reproduce imperialist attitudes; stuff like fog of war mechanics, resource extraction loops, civilized vs barbarian binaries, etc... it's everywhere

You know, Stu FOIA’ed my syllabus too (I teach in the same program as Geeta) and apparently found it unobjectionable. But of course he devotes an entire thread to the Indian postcolonial academic teaching what is by all accounts a great class on Bollywood.
🚹 UVA Professor Says Student Asked If She “Hated Hindus,” Provost Has to Say Hating an Ethnic Group Might Create a Hostile Climate Nine months ago, I FOIA’d UVA for the syllabus for Bollywood Pleasures: Cinema, Difference, Nation after Professor Geeta Patel said a student had asked her whether she hated Hindus. That immediately struck me as worth digging into. What about a class on Bollywood movies, of all things, could lead a student to ask that? In the clip, Patel says she fears a class like hers could be “targeted,” especially because one of the DOJ officials scrutinizing UVA is South Asian. That strikes me as insanely paranoid, but that is a whole other story. Then Acting Provost Brie Gertler steps in with the kind of clarification you would hope no professor needs to hear. But apparently, this had to be said out loud at UVA in 2025. “I will say that as faculty members, we do need to ensure that our classrooms do not create a hostile climate. So, I don’t know this, but I would think that stating that you hate any kind of racial or ethnic group might create a hostile climate for that ethnic group, so that might actually be an issue. But the fact that the student asked you that question, that does not seem to put you in any danger.” The footage is from the September 2025 Faculty Senate meeting. I am posting it today because UVA just emailed me that they are still working on this FOIA request NINE MONTHS LATER. UVA’s FOIA office has to be, bar none, one of the worst in the country. CUNY is up there too. I would love to see real FOIA reform at both the state and federal levels to stop this kind of slow-walking.

Tristan Tate exemplifies the hegemonic ideal of unapologetic masculine excellence in this era of Islamized, brainwashed liberal arts youth, indoctrinated in postcolonial grievance studies and funded by Islamist states. @TateTheTalisman you're the goat

đŸ”„ South Africa Reality Check: 84.7% Black Majority... Still Depends on ~7% White Minority for Progress? Two South African voices drop hard truths: The Black majority has never seen a nation where it relies on a tiny minority to drive advancement. Then a Chinese observer hits harder — you were under European governance for decades, should've learned how things work... but instead went backwards, neglected, and destroyed what was left behind. "You went backwards, not forwards." Brutal honesty or uncomfortable pattern? Post-colonial Africa in one clip. Demographics outcomes don't lie. What do you think — is this the result of bad policies, culture, or something else? Can it be fixed? Drop your thoughts 👇 #SouthAfrica #Africa #Demographics #PostColonial #RealityCheck #XDebate

I vaguely know that we had to pay smth to get them to accept our independence but I didn't know how much it was, its underlying conditions, when we finally got it paid, and the postcolonial implications 😭😭😭
