You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities

I think that all people should read Fanon, but I especially implore those of the imperial core to do so. You will not have an understanding of how class is structured without it.

In The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon is scathing in his criticisms of the national bourgeois (also known as the comprador bourgeoisie). They are capitalists that form part of the usually previously colonised population. They serve as intermediaries/subsidiaries to the imperial core.

For example, the global owner of McDonald’s is Richard Kempczinski (USA), but the previous franchise operator of all South African locations was our current president, Cyril Ramaphosa. He resigned as owner before his stint as president, but this illustrates that the national bourgeois and national government overlap.

Fanon describes this national bourgeoisie as a class uninterested in the development of their own country, instead placing their securities in western markets and spending their weekends in luxurious European capitals.

For Fanon, the national bourgeois are a greedy caste, get-rich-quick, content to accept dividends from the old colonial power, and incapable of inventiveness. They are 'not even the replica of Europe, but its caricature', and they conceal their mediocrity with cars and holidays on the Riviera.

The bourgeois across the world shares interests, but those of the imperial core are slightly different to those of the periphery. For a wholistic understanding of imperialism and neocolonialism, you just understand the relationship between capitalists of the first and third world.

does any fictional character lend themselves better to explaining transmisogyny than anthy himemiya? like right from the beginning, utena is like “hey, why is everyone abusing the fuck out of this girl??” and everyone is like “nonono it’s FIIIINE! you see, she’s the rose bride which isn’t the same as being a real girl, it’s some other shit scientists don’t even know the ramifications of yet but she’s very abusable, you should try it some time. but also be careful because she’s a scary witch” and then utena is like “have any of you asked her what she wants or tried being nice to her?” and they’re all like “she says she doesn’t have desires and she does whatever we want, it’s fine!” and the whole time she’s suffering cosmic sexual abuse
