Decolonization Quotes

“Pavlov's Monkeys (Sonnet 2608) I'm a brain scientist, I know more about human instincts, than the humans do themselves, yet one thing still puzzles me - how can people be so repulsed at the nazis, yet be so stupidly unabashed about the british empire and the american pilgrims, with a criminal record hundred times bloodier! You feel quite at home, proud even, when you hear, 'the British were civilizers, the Americans were pioneers,' yet if I say one positive word about the nazis, suddenly your blood boils like circus-trained dogs! It's good, your blood should boil, your blood should boil at the very idea of hate and persecution, but what kind of a prehistoric orangutan cherrypicks which persecution to be mad at, based on the color of skin or place of birth!”

“Holocaust Theatre (Naskaristana 2799) Most social issues are rooted in religion, most religious issues are rooted in politics, most political issues are vestiges of colonialism. There's a holocaust remembrance day, or let me fix your uneducated english: there's a universally recognized jewish holocaust remembrance day, and that's great, but I have just one question - where is the native american holocaust remembrance, where is the congo and kenyan holocaust remembrance, where is the palestinian holocaust remembrance, where is the punjab and bengal holocaust remembrance - all of which were far bloodier in scale than nazi follies, why is your history, memory, ethics, all so retarded!”

“Whiteys on The Moon (Naskar's Version, 2749-2750) There is no orient, there is no occident, there is only consciousness - there is no global south, there is no global north, there is only human race. And now that we've established the ultimate human truth of the future, let's talk some facts of the present - we cannot establish a theoretical future, no matter how profound or spiritual it sounds, without first actively making amends for the past - we cannot say we're all equal, when clearly the crimesheet of the north is a hundred times bloodier than the south, when the bloodlust of the occident makes oriental villains look like pickpockets - you can put a hundred whiteys on the moon, still it won't make up for the countless holocausts you withheld from the history books, while cleverly cherrypicking one little cleansing that photoshops the colonial numbskulls as the saviors of the world.”

“Autopsy of The West (Naskaristana 2754-2757) Food just tastes better when you eat with hands, sitting on the floor, together with family - which goes against the artificial, life-wrecking lifestyle invented by the west - in western narrative, isolation is liberation, the elderly is inconvenient, apathy is aesthetic - invasion is ambition, exploitation is exploration, indifference is etiquette, appropriation is innovation - this is the autopsy of the west, not biopsy, because we do biopsy of the living, not the dead. We cannot establish proper, healthy human integration, without first decolonizing the world, which is why it is imperative, that the world outgrows the west, no matter the country - in short, whether you're born in a first world civilization of the global south or a third world country of the north, like England or America, you must outgrow the west, if you want to be civilized, if you want to be human. The American must stop being american, you must outgrow everything that the pilgrims held near and dear, because the pilgrims were among apekind's most grotesque offenders, second only to their own forefathers, the british empire and other euro imperials. You cannot end dehumanization while abiding by the narrative established by the dehumanizers, you cannot end a pandemic while playing by the rules of the virus - you cannot heal a war-inflicted planet while studying from the rulebook of colonialism, that planted the germs of most of those wars in the first place - colonial history is not heritage, it's a crimescene. Civilization is care over conquest, civilization is integration over isolation, civilization is belonging - to burn the bridges with dehumanizers is the first requirement of civilization.”

“The Unholy Trinity (Naskaristana 2533) History of the world written by colonizers is no different from map of the world made by flat earthers - just like flat earthers flatten the globe to fit their delusion, colonizers flatten civilizations into savages, philosophies into myths, cosmologies into coincidences, lived holiness into paganism, erasure into expansion, trafficking into trade, native resistance into terrorism, and colonial terrorism into civilizing. The vatican, british empire, and uncle sam, these three are the apex predator of planet earth.”

“Letter to The Braindead (Naskaristana 2532) The only reason the west makes such a song and dance about antisemitism, is not because it's a human rights issue, but because it's the only narrative where the colonizers emerge as the good guys - but place indigenous populations at the center of history, and every last white heroic propaganda collapses in dust. Think about it for a while, if you're not braindead - how come french resistance, polish resistance, all belong to history's mainstream fight against tyranny, yet you still stutter to call the pilgrims as parasites, british monarchy as brutes, and the vatican as vultures!”

“If your history book, pol-sci book, criminology book, doesn't register the US government as the planet's number one terrorist organization, followed by the british empire, you are studying fake history, fake sociology, fake criminology.”

“Why You Must Speak Your Name (Naskaristana 2593) You know why I have to mention my name over and over, in as many places as I can, even though the name is not important - it's because my name represents every people ever trampled beneath the feet by the half-educated apes out to spread "civilization" - my name represents the congolese, my name represents the palestinians, my name represents the sikhs, my name represents the muslims, my name represents each and every human being incarcerated for merely existing. So I say again, the name is not important, yet you must speak your name, because every time a human speaks their name, an ape loses their footing in history.”

“Decolonization Anthem - Song of The Global South (Sonnet 2616-2619) Humanity is mightier than empires of apes, life is braver than borders of the dead. No one's undocumented on a planet built on loot, champions of freedom are champions of truth. We are children of the Global South, not a lost cause or subjects of pity, not tax breaks in a donor's ledger, nor footnotes in whitewashed history. Our lands are rich with brains, our soil is rich with minerals, our veins pulse with creation, hearts bright with civilization. They looted our gold, then sold us "aid" - they burnt our libraries, then sold us "education." Colonizers were the real cannibals of history, out to civilize humans with far advanced society - suffering of the South was not bad luck or destiny, just the grand design of Manifest Atrocity. Rise, O Peoples of Earth - Rise till the looters fall. Roar like Sonnets of Naskar - Fire the fascists, free the world! In every culture we carry the cosmos, in every tongue we carry our home. Our names are not doormats of empire, our dust is larger than Greece and Rome. Own your color, your accent, own your stories, your theologies, be proud of your sweat, your stubborn dignity - for the North wrote itself as civilized, but we, the Global South, authored humanity. They told us, history is white, holiness is western, progress is european - but the hands that built the world, with science, medicine, poetry, philosophy, astronomy and mathematics, were black, brown and indigenous. Stand and burn the colonial syllabus, disown the doctrines built on erasure - rise and write like blood on fire - write your anthem, write your future. Rise, O Children of Earth, no matter the color or culture, you have more heart than ape empires, more soul than parasites and vultures! Burn the cartels, fire the fascists - I lived my duty, now you be the Naskar. Let the cosmos stand witness, to the spark of human nature.”

“Decolonization Anthem (Excerpt) We are children of the Global South, not a lost cause or subjects of pity, not tax breaks in a donor’s ledger, nor footnotes in whitewashed history. Our lands are rich with brains, our soil is rich with minerals, our veins pulse with creation, hearts bright with civilization. They looted our gold, then sold us “aid” – they burnt our libraries, then sold us “education.” Colonizers were the real cannibals of history, out to civilize humans with far advanced society – suffering of the South was not bad luck or destiny, just the grand design of Manifest Atrocity.”

“Center of the World is Indigenous (Sonnet 2680) Fact of the matter is, most white scholars eventually turn out to be just another colonial twit, no matter how brilliant, how learned they are, because animal conditioning doesn't wear off with mere education of the intellect - your soul must be disinfected of colonial filth, which is not possible until you intrinsically embody the pain, indignity, and humiliations of the oppressed, subjected through generations. Your opinion on religion, your opinion of reason, your opinion of philosophy, your opinion of society, it's all just opinion, that too of a lesser lifeform, until you outgrow your whiteness and look at the world through the actual center of the world - and the center of the world is indigenous.”

“Earth Belongs to The Natives (Sonnet 2401) We cannot abolish systemic persecution without dismantling systemic privilege. You cannot wipe the slate clean, but you can take the responsibility and stand to heal. Colonizers are the second class citizens, every land first belongs to the indigenous. Landback is the mother of all movements, it contains the plight of all First Humans. Women are indigenous to their own body, Palestinians are indigenous to palestine; uncultured crowns and criminal uncles have no jurisdiction over our Earthright. Earth belongs to the Natives, settlers are welcome, but as participant, not head of state. Somos indígenas, somos indomables - you can make us houseless, but never homeless.”

Women are indigenous to their own body, Palestinians are indigenous to palestine; uncultured crowns and criminal uncles have no jurisdiction over our Earthright.”

“Finally, the phrase ‘first world problems’ is built on the misleading assumption that every single individual in the first world is living in better conditions than those in the other worlds. And if so, this totally ignores the fact that the first world, too, is filled with violence, suicide, mental issues, homelessness, death, and every other problem we see in the rest of world. In this sense, the phrase ‘first world problems’ does not even do justice to millions of people suffering in the first world itself. The phrase assumes that people in the second or the third worlds are miserable and incapable of having economic, social, or even political fulfilment.”

“Our respective racial containment isolates us from each other, enforcing our thoughts that our struggles are too specialized, unrelatable to anyone else except others in our group, which is why making myself, and by proxy other Asian Americans, more human is not enough for me. I want to destroy the universal. I want to rip it down. It is not whiteness, but our contained condition that is universal, because we are the global majority, by we, I mean nonwhites, the formally colonized. Survivors such as Native Americans, whose ancestors have already lived through endgames. Migrants and refugees living through endtimes currently, fleeing the floods and droughts and gang violence, reaped by climate changed that's been brought on by western empire. In Hollywood, whites have churned out dystopian fantasies by imagining themselves as slaves and refugees in the future.”

“You cannot end dehumanization while abiding by the narrative established by the dehumanizers, you cannot end a pandemic while playing by the rules of the virus - you cannot heal a war-inflicted planet while studying from the rulebook of colonialism, that planted the germs of most of those wars in the first place.”
