[New Word] Cantonmentalism

Is a bent of mind that many are forced to endure, when colonial foot soldiers rule the roost with impunity, benefits and foolishness in tact.

Hard to escape, makes matters worse.

For example, Bangladeshi Cantonmentalism has a lot to answer for. Tanky swashbuckling bravado aside, by assassinating Mujib and that vast section of his family they ended up entrenching the dynasty.

With sons and 'natural' heirs dispatched, who could well have extinguished themselves competing for power, they left two surviving traumatised daughters who would cooperate, more often than not, than their male peers.

people are strange.

[New Word] Egosystem

Negotiating and tempting to transform these is frightening but mandatory, not just the external ones. Most movements, families and individuals quickly reach their limits without sufficient craft for this. Ya Raheem, Ya Mudhil, Ya Jabbar.

[New word] Brexilience

Probably useful to be thinking in terms of the household or company scale, impacts and options of forthcoming change.

Let them lose their shit, just make preparations, it will be white supremacy shaytanic capitalism of a slightly different configuration, as usual anyway

[New Word] Euroversity

An institutional genre built for a specific experience and audience, yet attended and reproduced all around the colonially wounded worlds, not to be mistaken for an ummahticaly edifying end point, inshAllah.

[New Word] Apologenterprise

The business of seeking publicity and currying favour in exchange for reassuring people and apologising for something you didn't do.

[New Word] Hypotechknowcrisy

Killing off technological futures under the ruse of a self serving doctrine of domination.

For example, the UKs continuing program of Weapons of Mass Destruction looks even more hopeless with the cover-up of the 20th June Trident missile test failure. Contrast the gravity of analysis an ridicule with Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Photoshopping of their own launch imagery back in 2008.

More plentiful example, the technologicide of Bretton Woods loan conditionalities in the colonial periphery.

[New Word] Bremoaner

One who pines over the privileges, marginal or substantial, formerly provided to them by the Afro Asian Exclusion Zone. AKA EU

[New move] Resolutionary Political Islam

The movement of Love to address problems at their structural, epistemological and spiritual roots.

Flatulent connotations also double welcomed.

[New Word] Jhography

The science of squabbling, quite a territorial affair.

e.g. The jhography of the seculibs, the nationalists and the islamists was taken to a new phase by the events of 2013.

[New Word] Political load-shedding

The troublesome process of contesting power (re)distribution. Although better timetabled these days, the hartal, or strike, causes problems for the public, which in addition to their existing problems is not the politics of mercy.

By mixing metaphors we avoid depoliticizing strikes, their need, and their impacts on people, power structures and pauperisation.

Political load-shedding is a non-solution to the problem of sustainable and just power generation and distribution.

So if you think that you, or your tribe, have what it takes to lead the people. Find another way. Don't (mis)lead dedicated young people to their martyrdom, bring sakina, or tranquility, to the streets and lives of the people.

As The Tailor once said, the prison has escape encoded in its very bars.

[New Word] Ventrolloquism

The practice of putting words in the mouths of masses while dismissing contestation as trolling.

This is commonly found amongst practice in the world today, facilitated by the silence, fear and inarticulacy of the intellectually oppressed.

Recent pro-execution demonstrators in Bangladesh (see #Shahbag ) ventrolloquise the dead of the 1971 Bangladesh War by projecting their narrow, vengeful programme to be on behalf of the deceased, the bereaved, the living and the yet to come.

On social media, counter factuals to their hegemony of angry nonsense become the acts of 'neo rajakars', 'trolls' and 'apologists for mass killing and rape'. Individuals deemed counter to The Spirit of Liberation are placed on special lists and electronic orderlies instructed to mark them as spam.

[New Word] Bracottobad

The city of the future, run entirely by an NGO, offering farticipatory development to the masses, staffed by the middling to keep the powerful undisturbed.

If Santa Julian was to come down your chimney with a WikiLeak, what would you like it to concern?

We aren't allowed to define what its content could be, but simply its concern.

[I would like the banter surrounding the banishment and extraditions of the poet Talha Ahsan to be known more officially. Lord Carlisle, Theresa May, US ambassador and UK judiciary...]

Following his Chiristmas Sermon from Mount Ecuador, The troubled Wiki Leaks lightning rod Julian Assange promised many more WikiLeaks to come in 2013.



Following the leaks from the Bangladesh War Crimes Tribunal, I went through some of the WikiCables from the US Embassy in Dhaka. Its funny how new happenings can breathe a different life into old data. I think more should be done with the data and that it hasnt been used particularly deftly yet.

[New Word] Statestical

The dominant form of nonsensemaking in our age, where numbers are harvested for government and corporate benefit as part of patriarchal epistemicidal neoliberal capitalism
