In space no one can hear you decolonize. Or laugh while reading Tristin Hopper’s takedown of our resource-strapped DND blowing $32k on “Hidden Harms: Human (In)Security in Outer Space” about the voyages of patriarchy to explore strange new worlds to commit racism and oppression. But imagine if someone tried to run an entire government on such antimatter.

Oh, wait. You don’t have to. Here, on our own home planet, the Canadian state appears to have increasing difficulty performing basic functions other than plundering and bullying citizens because such out-of-this-world thinking appears to have crawled out of universities and clamped onto its face, injecting its loathsome spawn which then erupted from its belly wreaking havoc. From Chinese spies in Parliament to productivity to the once-mighty Liberal electoral machine, nothing touched by these theories seems to work anymore.
