Deconstruct

To skool someone in the absurdity of a notion or belief by demonstrating the obvious primitive motivation that underlies it.

First coined by French philosopher Derrida as a means of expressing the inadequacy of any fixed ideas which are in constant risk of obscurity because of an ignorance of contextualization.

I deconstruct your choice of beer to intimacy issues, which originate from being sexually violated as a child by your nazi grandmother.

You can deconstruct Obama's reluctance for conflict with the conservatives to a sadomasochistic impulse to seek constant approval from dominant caucasian norms.

decoloniality

Decoloniality denotes ways of thinking, knowing, being, and doing that began with, but also precede, the colonial enterprise and invasion. It implies the recognition and undoing of the hierarchical structures of race, gender, heteropatriarchy, and class that continue to control life, knowledge, spirituality, and thought, structures that are clearly intertwined with and constitutive of global capitalism and Western modernity. Moreover, it is indicative of the ongoing nature of struggles, constructions, and creations that continue to work within coloniality’s margins and fissures to affirm that which coloniality has attempted to negate. Decoloniality, in this sense, is not a static condition, an individual attribute, or a lineal point of arrival or enlightenment. Instead, decoloniality seeks to make visible, open up, and advance radically distinct perspectives and positionalities that displace Western rationality as the only framework and possibility of existence, analysis, and thought. Such perspectives and positionalities evoke and convoke what Maldonado-Torres refers to as a decolonial attitude (Walter D. Mignolo).

Decoloniality is a way of being in the world. The decolonial task is to change the terms of the conversation.
