Pankaj Mishra represents a voice from the Global South that holds the mirror of the Eurocentric mindset and an unbroken colonial rule over the rest of the world into our face. Even if you don't identify with the slave masters the sheer imagination he allows us to have part in makes one cringe.
What tops it all off is the latest land grab by #Trump declaring to "have" #Gaza just like an especially convenient real-estate deal. You don't even need to buy it, it's totally wrecked - by design of US-made weaponry - so let's do those Palestinians a favor and resettle them somewhere else.
Western #imperialism in full swing again not even caring to put up a more benevolent face but presenting "real talk'' to humans that can't help to listen because there's nothing left to rely on. Firstly you bomb the hell out of them, strain their life force to the limit, and if they lie totally exhausted in the dust begging for some drops of clean water you make them an offer they can't reject - or else. So make the best out of the living hell you've been thrown into by some bad luck which surely has nothing to do with Bibi and me.
