A feeling when conditions from the past are haunting us and still make noises in our heads, although they seem to be distant. Can apply to historical conditions. Past events influence today’s minds and actions. E.g. our own past, as well as societal, institutional pasts inevitably shape theories and how we look at them. What we teach and learn today is intertwined with our past. Echoes reproduce power structures and reach into the present. The original sound can deform, how it is heard from a distance changes (e.g. become shriller). Although today many look on colonialism more critically, it still shapes institutions, worldviews, actions. It is visible in the books resting in our libraries, in the accessibility of institutions (Decolonising Knowledge: What Is Decolonisation? | Rolando Vázquez Melken 5:24), how history is told by western museums. We must recognize and draw attention to this screeching (e.g. as one can see in the actions Mwazulu Diyabanza does in Museums (Gimlet)). We need to question who owns, who tells stories, defines, has power, whose voices are being heard? To decolonize we must recognize that power structures are still active. We must question the sounds from the past without denying they exist, but by reshaping how we perceive them and making sure they are not repeated, by making sure they are not echoes.

“I still have a distance screeching.”
“I think you got distance screeching.”
“These theories are distance screeched. *”
*However, colonial power structures should be labeled as such as clear as possible. The proposed term should be seen more as an additional visualization.

Being a dick from a distance, is what Zooming into a meeting gives you. Basically being able to say things to your co-workers that you would never say to their face.
Dude, did Jim just call me that? Seriously?
Nah, that douche is on Pacific time, he's just being a dick from a distance.

See dick punch.
The act of conducting a dick punch through the use of a contractor, agent or third-party proxy to conduct the dick punch upon a predefined person at the dick punch requesting parties demand or fee for service engagement. The need for a person to receive a dick punch may occur, despite the fact that the dick punchee may be physically located at a considerable distance from the dick punchee. A long distance dick punch can be achieved through the use of a dick punching service provider.

Blaine's video chat response about equal pay was so outlandish that he deserved a dick punch, but unfortunately he lives in Florida and I live in Connecticut... so I payed Doug, a neighbor of Blaine, to act on my behalf and give Blaine a long distance dick punch on my behalf.
