#AbolitionOfWhiteness #NoelIgnatiev

The idea of #allyship as defined by exerting privilege to change the material conditions of society in a "desirable" manner is inextricably at odds with the abolition of whiteness.

Instead abolition demands the destruction of those mechanism which give rise to disproportional power dynamics.

These are two extremely different approaches that should not be conflated, the former of which I consider largely to be an upholding of #whiteness rather than a confrontation of it.

Nor should whites be confident in their abilities to shift society in a way that they think will be favorable to any group of people they are not a part of.

Our #racialization will guide our actions no matter how much supposed deconstruction we do until abolition is achieved.

Further we will not know when that point comes until people who live outside of whiteness (and likely the state) recognize us as distinct from white people. All we have ever known is existence within whiteness this leaves us unqualified to make that call.

This however does not prevent us from developing and testing methodologies that may help deliver us from it. As such this line of reasoning cannot be taken as an excuse for inaction. I have termed my methodology as reindigenization.

#AbolitionOfWhiteness

I suppose I should probably do a proper introduction.

I'm a #Disabled, #Neurodivergent, farmer that practices #RegenerativeAgriculture.

I write about the #AbolitionOfWhiteness, #Polytheism, #Ecology, #Mysticism, #Magic, Politics, and #CelticHistory to the ends of reconstructing *OPEN* European indigenous traditions and the death of #whiteness.
