(cw: Racism, Classism) The violence of entire systems of race & class is out in full force again today, as exposed by this particular abuse of one Chinese woman against brown people in Singapore. It is again, necessary to abolish both, & how class aids in essentializing race.

The fact that Singaporeans cannot conceive of a society without conscription tells us about one violent aspect of the SG State - that the nationstate has rendered the defence of its borders into a natural fact of daily life. We have forgotten how borders did not exist pre-empire.

Actually hor, "Wokeness", which was from older and contemporary African-American political movements, doesn't apply to burgeoning Leftist movements in SG leh 😔 for us it's really more of "Wake Up Ur Fucking Idea" especially @ the vocal Right + liberals + moderates🙃🥰🤪

Privilege and therefore Chinese Privilege, as with many other sociological frameworks, has its own dead ends and axiomatic limitations, but to refer to it as "intellectual scarcity" is to already dismiss the notion that it cannot be extended to encompass nuances and other ideas.

UTown went for six months without halal food from Aug to Dec 2021. NUS' lack of support for halal stalls during COVID was infuriating. My juniors had to take the bus to the Arts canteen just to pack lunch. Before then, there was a halal western food stall I liked - that vanished.

Really don't understand why people think university students, who are very much adults with our own plans and volition, are supposedly being used as "pawns" by people in civil society. Have they considered that maybe, uh, we are in partnership, or in solidarity with one another?

A lot of them are also military history fanboys who are enraptured by the symbolic system that consists of guns, weapons, tanks, national anthems, military decorum, war strategies... and that interest being detached from war trauma, what's lived, peoples who have been erased.

This is why you abolish State power. To destroy political opponents, the P*P resorts to State instruments in the following manner: 1) Statutes like the Internal Security Act to jail without trial 2) Use of the Judiciary to sue 3) Call the P*lice on them

Appreciate Jamus' raising of such a proposal - but let us also not forget that too many families in Singapore reproduce the very same disciplinary relations that MOE schools, SAF barracks, IMH wards, etc. produce. Students will be at the mercy and oppression of parental consent.

People really be forgetting or not realizing how something as empirically-driven as calorie counting is a feature of Western modernity and imperialism. How else did the technology that reduces the body to numbers, pegged to standards of Ancient Grecian or White beauty, arise?

what i've learnt from the QTs to this is that many Singaporeans will still get a laugh out of sexual violence and of men wearing dresses. to regard this as a joke is the first reaction, despite someone (and many others prior to this!!!) having been harmed.

absolutely vile how there are already comments wishing for the survivor to be charged for "false accusations". they are quick to maliciously conclude that since Fernando is legally deemed as "not guilty" after composition, he therefore did not commit any harm. but he did. he did.

important to distinguish between the nationstate and the land that we live on: i've stopped loving this country when i realized what i actually loved was my friends and family, and our relationship to the land we survive on. these relations have little to do with the nationstate.

If you're a parent with children in primary and secondary school, MOE is making teachers push the government propaganda (genocide on Palestinians but leaning on Israeli bias) onto students. They have to do it before March holidays. WRITE (read: complain) TO MOE!

There has been a popularized bad reading of what it means to socially constitute something, i.e. what is a social construction. The popularized notion is that social construction = not real/lie/falsity. Social constructions are actually real; they manifest as social relations.

in light of certain sentiments surrounding Singapore's Presidential Elections, i will not remain silent about it. the image below is a warning i've seen circulating. do NOT spoil your vote. the only signals being sent via spoiled votes is that SG is ripe for a Fascist takeover.
