Oswald de Andrade’s “Anthropophagy” is a theory proposing the critical devouring of universal cultural heritage, formulated not from the submissive and reconciled perspective of the “noble savage” (idealized following the model of European virtues in the “nativist” vein of Brazilian romanticism by authors such as Gonçalves Dias and José de Alencar, for example), but from the disabused point of view of the “bad savage,” devourer of whites, the cannibal. This last view does not involve submission (conversion) but, rather, transculturation, or, even better, “transvalorization”: a critical view of history as a negative function (in Nietzsche’s sense), capable of appropriation and of expropriation, of dehierarchization, of deconstruction. Any past which is an “other” for us deserves to be negated. We could even say, it deserves to be eaten, devoured, with the following clarifying proviso: The cannibal was a “polemicist” (from the Greek polemos, meaning “struggle, combat”), but he was also an “anthologist”—he devoured only the enemies he considered courageous, taking their marrow and protein to fortify and renew his own natural energies.

the recent trend to hate on argentina and to characterize doing so as woke has allowed many first worlders to show their true colors. as soon as you all seem to get the 'green light' that hating on a third world country is acceptable you stop hiding your disdain and xenophobia. this and the "calling ice" jokes show you don't actually give two shits about racism or cheating or whatever, you just want a socially acceptable way to hate on latin americans

This is wild because they're absolutely copying Brazilians, who will say anything to annoy Argentinias during football season, but like. We have a rivalry. This is what we do. Argentinians are awful to us and we are awful back. Sometimes this awfulness reaches levels that shouldn't (Argentinians get really racist and we start wishing they'll starve) but it's still very much a two way street. A fair match even when both of us bring guns to a knife fight.

Americans don't have that. You even don't play football. You don't get to be cruel to a country that your country helped destroy. You don't get to say they're "nazi land" when your president was the one who put him in power. Argentinians and Brazilians lay on the same shit together and are having a mud fight. Americans are the ones who shoved us into the shit in the first place.

and even Patti Smith posting “the good ones won” wtf is this timeline

the worst part is that famous people could have made viral instead how indigenous groups in the north of Argentina are being attacked and intimidated rn again so they give away their lands

Creo que el argumento prioritario acá, más que "Argentina no es racista porque tenemos a una mujer negra en el billete de 10.000 pesos", es que esta discusión es sencillamente consentimiento manufacturado. La cuestión racial debe abordarse —no en los términos que buscan imponer los yanquis de "izquierda"—, y sin fingir que nuestro país es una utopía igualitaria, pero no por imposición imperialista, no para justificar demagógicamente por qué no merecemos desaparecer del mapa.

[datura-inoxia]

Que tal si dejáramos de escuchar a un montón de pelotudos de afuera y empezamos a escuchar a la gente que de hecho tiene derecho a decir que los argentinos de raíces europeas somos racistas? El tiempo que tardamos en leer y contestar los ensayos que escriben estos pelotudos estaría mejor gastado leyendo e interactuando con gente que está escribiendo y accionando contra el racismo en argentina.

Recomiendo a Moira Millán. Ejemplo de lucha y tipaza.
