Si els Estats Units veiessin el que els Estats Units està fent als Estats Units, els Estats Units envairien els Estats Units per alliberar els Estats Units de la tirania dels Estats Units

Thinking about Petro-Imperialist Hypernationalism = Resource Imperialism + Accumulation by Dispossession + Authoritarian Nationalism + Energy Geopolitics

🆕 @vaclavmasek.bsky.social explores “temporal imaginations” the self-reflective, historical frames that #Indigenous Maya Q’eqchi’ activists use to situate their present-day environmental struggle in the continuum of past injustices #SettlerColonialism #TransitionalJustice doi.org/10.5204/ijcj...

🚨New pub! Through participant observation and interviews, I examine how, even in the face of repression, Indigenous Maya Q’eqchi communities in Guatemala utilize collective memory as a vital tool in their resistance against extractivism. 🔓Open Access: www.crimejusticejournal.com/article/view...

Survey reveals that Bukele’s recent drop in popularity is due to his reversal of El Salvador’s post-extractivist jurisprudence.
