We’re not advocating violence. Your premise is wrong.

But we know our adversaries commonly use violence, so we’re aware it exists, and we know we have to prepare for it.

Are colonialist governments not violent? How do you remove from office a government that commits violence against their people, en masse, to destroy their land with mining operations?

Concrete example: how would the Congolese vote the French out, when anyone organising peacefully against the French is assassinated?

The point is not violence. But it would be naive to ignore the violence of our adversaries.

They’re even more amazed to see non white people. Even more so on smaller non touristic places.

It’s not about race, it’s about novelty and curiosity.

I felt like a rockstar, kids highfiving me and the elderly asking to take pictures with me and my partner.

Whooo! Thanks!

Ive read it a couple of times, it’s probably just the right level for my mandarin. :D

What is FYP?

Dude. Fucking buttons. We’re so amazing!

I had a low end Samsung like this and I miss it so much.

Why is every answer in this thread downvoted?

I’ve uploaded a few read by tts at https://pca.st/podcast/3af50c70-30cd-013c-f68a-0acc26574db2

Not too proud of it, but might still be useful.

There’s also audioteca critica, with actual people reading the books, https://pca.st/podcast/5a409f90-829a-013a-d7e9-0acc26574db2, in Brazilian Portuguese.

Obrigado por articular dessa forma.

Acho que cabe a perspectiva justamente de que temos que aprender a conduzir a conversa com pessoas que entendem as lutas “identitárias” colocando-as no contexto da luta de classes.

Class consciousness.

So then we stop fighting each other for peanuts and look at who gets to benefit from our generalised political apathy.
