Becoming Ash

  • A History of Repeated Injuries and Usurpations.

    America didn’t invent the game—it just refined it. The Union Jack, Stars and Stripes – the British Raj, Banana Republics, the blueprint was always simple: destabilize, divide, extract, and brand it as salvation, the tactics are the same. Uprisings are reframed as riots. Resistance is called terrorism. And when the people starve under corporate-imposed sanctions or coups, it’s painted as their own failure to embrace “freedom.”
    This isn’t new. It’s just exported back home now. The tools that hollowed out the Global South have been turned inward. The surveillance, the debt traps, the poisoned water, the militarized streets—it’s coming full circle. The colonies are here now. And the illusion of democracy is the last pretty curtain keeping the house from catching fire.
