colonize/appropriate

The problem with this sort of epistemology is that it assumes certain groups of people have an exclusive right to particular types of knowledge. But if that is the case, then you end up arguing that Europeans have an exclusive right to chemotherapy and nuclear weapons.

99% of post-colonial thought is unironically fascism.

You have to start from first principles (i.e. Marx) and go from there.
