Decolonise

The process of removing excrement from the large intestine.
Alternate meaning: The process of getting rid of misguided left wing woke tossers, who talk excrement all the time
My boss is planning to decolonise our office by sacking all those woke tossers who talk nothing but shit all the time!

decolonoscopy

The agonizing but diagnostic and healing process of recovering one's locus of enunciation and cultivating decoloniality. Dialogue WITH others, reflexive ethnographic methods, critical literacy, autoethnography, and literary deconstruction are common approaches to this endoscopy, and flexibility of research instruments is highly advised, but more oppressive or recolonizing alternatives are certainly available. Pain and discomfort are inevitable in this procedure. The patient will likely encounter obstructions, growths, twists and turns in this probing introspection.
My thesis on decoloniality and decolonization is turning into a decolonoscopy.

Decolonization

Five hundred years ago, elite learned members of the Christian priesthood travelled North America to preach to the indigenous locals that they were evil pieces of shit, everything they believed was wrong, and they needed to be re-educated in order to save themselves. That was colonization.

Today, elite learned members of the Academic priesthood travel North America to preach to the non-indigenous locals that they are evil pieces of shit, everything they believe is wrong, and they need to be re-educated in order to save themselves. That is decolonization.
Amy - God, I hate myself for being a white person that was born in this country. My prof was so right when xe told me I need to do something to help with decolonization.

Becky – Why don’t you post a pic on Insta showing you wearing those dream catcher earrings?

Amy – Perfect! Now let’s go shopping!

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.

Decolonization

Decolonization is the rematiriation of culture and tradition as well as repatriation of land and sovereignty to Indigenous People
As a settler, decolonization is not an option. However, I can do everything in their power to support the decolonization efforts of Indigenous people by centering the voices, process, and initiatives of Indigenous Nations that invite the settler voice to speak to those that willfully ignore Indigenous voices.

*Person adopts native culture and tradition wholeheartedly*
