#ideological

A word that should come back into our daily vocabulary: Tendenzschrift

the eradication of generative mechanisms of Black suffering [are not] in the interests of the White political prisoners such as David Gilbert and Judith Clark, Kuwasi Balagoon's codefendants -- their ideological opposition to the court, capitalism, and imperialism not withstanding, because such ideological oppositions mark conflicts within the world rather than an antagonism to the world. Eradication of the generative mechanisms of Black suffering would mean the end of the world and they would find themselves peering into an abyss (or incomprehensible transition) between epistemes; between, that is, the body of ideas that determine that knowledge that is intellectually certain at any particular time. In other words, they would find themselves suspended between worlds. This trajectory is too iconoclastic for working class, postcolonial, and/or radical feminist conceptual frameworks. The Human need to be liberated in the world is not the same as the Black need to be liberated from the world; which is why even their most radical cognitive maps draw borders between the living and the dead.
