Decolonial Apocalypticism

Hey y’all this is my first post. Thank you for letting me contribute.

These are tough times we are facing as colonized peoples. This

apocalypse is scary, but necessary. As it is not an apocalypse aimed at

us, but our oppressors. The time has come that settler colonialism is to

fall and we are to make sure of that. We’ve faced an oppressive death

for far too long and to see the state crumble is a beautiful site. That

doesn’t mean we won however. The oppressors are desperately trying to

hold on to power killing us in the process. Its not over until we

dismantle every institution of colonial oppression. We do so by adopting

something I like to call Decolonial Apocalypticism.

Decolonial Animist Apocalypticism

This world in it’s current form must end so we can prepare a new one.

That’s what is mean by Decolonial Animist Apocalypticism. We as

colonized people must bring about and end to this world. The highest

form of decolonial spiritual and physical praxis is apocalyptic. DAA is

a mindset and lifestyle not a theory.

Tenets of Decolonial Animist Apocalypticism

The Earth is our mother it is our duty to protect her by any means

necessary. To rid her of the poison of settler colonial white supremacy

A poison that must be eradicated. All structures of settler colonialism

dismantled. All settler colonial based laws disobeyed.

Trust in the spirits. Connect with each other at the soul level. Connect

with our Mother Earth.

Mutual Aid is key to growing comradary especially during these hard

times

Patriarchy and all its tenets must be dismantled

To except death knowing we’ll be reborn is the ultimate liberation.

This requires constant mental, physical, and spiritual labor for us to

have any chance of succeeding. This is the only opportunity that we will

get to change this world. A moment when the oppressor is showing signs

of weakness and desperation. That is our moment to strike.
