again, yall come on here and say that but haven’t even cracked the book open. You dont know who Fred Moten is nor what social death is.
Afropessimism is a meta-theory ( a theory abt theories) that sees antiblackness as the foundation of all current societies.
to compare afropessimism to zionism is wild..esp when afropessism strongly stand in opposition to non-blacks & most current theories
AP argues that slavery never ended. There is no real solidarity between “pocs” & us. All other groups are what Wilderson calls “junior patners”
AP sees the current racial hierarchy for what it truly is & doesn’t try to sugar coat it.
*The most important thing that AP argues is that nonblacks project their sadomassochist violence unto us in order to experience their own humanity*
To be black is to be socially dead.
listen one thing abt me i do NOT accept afropessimism slander.
You can have valid criticisms of the theory without resorting to rage baiting. Its so insulting to compare it to zionism.
also i wanna add that i DONT agree with Wilderson abt palestinian liberation “has more in common with the zionists” when it comes to black people. I dont.
But can we really disregard his research because we disagree on one thing?
anyways food for thought
