Random thought: under settler-colonial regimes dispossession is always-already elimination (understood to both subsume genocide and be expansive beyond it), and elimination is always-already dispossession. The current theoretical turn by some theorists to distinguish these two...

into different modalities of violence, though usually recognizing some sort of interrelation between them, such that one can be given primacy over the other in one's mode of analysis, assumes on a basic epistemological or ontological level that the two things can be distinguished

when really they cannot. Semiotically, any attempt to define one without immediate reflexive reference to the other is impossible, or at the very least is nonsensical. The relationship between them and white futurity is also inherently antagonistic.

Whiteness qua settlerness can only project itself onto the field of the present through the continual structural enactment of dispossession-elimination/elimination-dispossession. Thus, any decolonial futurity is one where the settler must cease to be (not as harsh as it sounds).

Conversely, any futurity (communist, anarchist, whateverist) the maintains a settler futurity is one which inherently forecloses the possibility of a decolonial one; we will not be able to have a future where we will be able to say "we have decolonized."

Anyway: random thoughts on random shit. Feel free to ignore this and go back to business as "usual."
