 The terms and the activism give away the real overlap of all these domains of collectivist praxis. Whether Postcolonialism, Critical Colonial Theory, Critical Theory of Coloniality, or Decolonization, we see how it targets the same concepts and issues as every other realm of collectivist liberation. That is, it targets objective reality, private property, sovereignty of personhood, the right to a mind, the expectation that humans can freely think and not be dismissed as suffering from a false consciousness, and the right to receive equal treatment before the law. This is why it's no surprise that Queer theorists have posited that indigenous and native people have inherent Queer identities and is also why anything can be argued as being in need of decolonization just as anything can be argued as being in need of Queering. Whatever happens to be the "norm" that has yet been unchallenged and untransformed for the purpose of bringing about socialist revolution can be decolonized by saying it's done in the name of indigeneity. This is also why see the awful and tiring image of well-to-do caucasians donning sacred-looking fashion in order to present the aesthetics of the noble savage.
 
-Additionally, we know that decolonization is a violent revolution which must destroy the previous civilization and its people. The complete and utter replacement of one species of men with another species of men, as has been said by Fanon. Considering that this falls in the footsteps of Marx and his concept of Species Being, it would follow that its presumed the replaced species is not capable of species being and its replacement is, which fulfills a desire for collectivist liberation and absolution by those who are consenting to their own death and destruction and that of their own loved ones. That people feel incomplete, inadequate and fallen gives rise to their bitterness and resentment which convinces them that their own destruction is a necessary part of the scope of experience, their frame of perception, as it is a means by which they may transcend it, if even just by alleviating themselves of the suffering of having been thrown into a false existence which doesn't fulfill what they believed is tacitly promised by it.

To even suppose that there is a coherent construct such as a species of men, demarcated by a historical status which suggests a knowledge or consciousness amongst those referred to by that species posits that such members act, exist and conceive of in a manner which expresses and ontologically composes the life of that species, as species beings who are, as an aggregate, the being of the species.

 ###### Decolonial Queering Retort
 
-Allow me to retort, and first allow a blurb on this whole notion of different.
+!NOTE: Possibly move this to "Queering Kids is Scientific"
 
 It sounded like hyperbole to say things like "they are reality deniers" or "biology deniers" not because it was inaccurate to say so, but because it came across as bad-faith participation if only on the basis of seeming prematurely aggressive and combative.
 
-Why? For no other reason (to my mind, anyway) except that one could take the proposition purely on its theoretical merit and eliminate the possible bias in the recipient of one's argument and this would have also been a good strategy to demonstrate openness, transparency, and the rigor of one's approach to sensemaking as a reasonable and logical human being.
+It can be supposed that one could take the proposition of transcending what might charitably be put as a "normalcy bias" purely on its theoretical merit and eliminate the perceived bias by the recipient of one's argument and this would have also been a good strategy to demonstrate openness, transparency, and the rigor of one's approach to sensemaking as a reasonable and logical human being.
 
-The issue is that, even in the theoretical sense, examination of the very concept of normalcy is difficult to undertake without coming to the conclusion that what is considered normal is reality itself, as must be reasonably understood by a human being.
+The issue is that, even in the theoretical sense, examination of the very concept of normalcy is difficult to undertake without coming to the conclusion that what is considered normal is reality itself, as must be reasonably understood by a human being. That plants grow, or that buildings require a foundation, or anything extending from spacetime whatsoever could be deemed "normal" and if framed to limit the conception and belief of the angst-ridden or aggrieved makes it an ideological artifact of the "enemy".
 
-You see, all of the criticism of there being a concept of normal takes the following subtype forms (and one common overarching form, which will be disclosed subsequently):
-- Sexual deviance:
-  - This is differentiated from mere romantic interest from the outset of the seminal formulation of queer theory. Gayle Rubin repeatedly dwells on the specific, undesirable (at least in professional and business settings) as sexual abuse of children (which she refers to using the euphemism "inter-generational love"), the incorporation of kink into more aspects of "a professional environment or daily life in general.  There is even a defense in decriminalizing the production and distribution of child exploitation materials and paraphernalia (and on the basis that laws and arguments which intend to forbid materials which sexually exploit children would lead to their invocation on the basis of materials which don't fall into that vein (and, yes, we are reminded of woke projection whereby they are declaring their tendency to search for a means of constraining any behaviour from their perceived other as an infraction against some structurally enforcible law or policy).
+More commonly, though, you will see criticism of a concept of normal in forms such as (and one common overarching form  TODO: confirm this has been detailed) sexual deviance, differentiated from mere romantic interest.

Gayle Rubin repeatedly dwells on sexual abuse of children, which she refers to using the euphemism "inter-generational love" and the incorporation of kink into more aspects of a professional environment or daily life in general.  There is even a defense in decriminalizing the production and distribution of materials and paraphernalia involving child exploitation on the basis that laws and arguments which intend to forbid materials which sexually exploit children through claiming that it would necessarily lead such as to include materials which don't explicitly fall into that vein. And, yes, we are reminded of woke projection whereby they are declaring their tendency to search for a means of constraining any behaviour from the perceived other as an infraction against some structurally enforcible law or policy.
 
-- Organized structure of all forms
+Queer theory also criticizes organized structure in all forms, the most remarkable of which being that which is the product of nature which is to say aspects of biological life that are consistent even outside of observations of human beings.
 
-Put another way, they are willing to not only permit but to prime, facilitate and potentiate a lewd and destructive behaviour for so long as it can be matched against an accepted and desirable behaviour because it accomplishes the following:
-- Capturing arbitrary power
-- Yields an implement to target and eliminate the other
-- Eliminates distinctions which allow them to imagine the reality they desire without hindrance (burden of what has been)

In fact, we can put it even another way by saying "imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been".
 
 ###### Closeted?
-This is always the proposal: there are secretly gay children who are suffering mental distress for not being able to express themselves in a particular community setting:
-- Gay is interchangeably qualified on the basis that:
-  a) Stereotypical behaviour is inherent to a gay genetic formulation And
-  b) Is not sexual in spite of being bound to a specific sexual preference (which the child may be unaware of, but the educator always senses via critical consciousness)
-- The pressure to not express the inflections and forms of that identity is one of normativity as a political modality, thus gay is actually a proxy for queer
-- Because of systemic abuses, there is a moral impetus for everyone to be either queer or an ally, and since all identity is socially constructed, the outcome is based on priming environment and performing identities
 
-###### Normal vs Different
-If the status quo is one of oppression through imposition of the normal...
+Queer theorists of pedagogy propose that there are secretly gay children suffering mental distress for not being able to express themselves. Gay is put forward as interchangeable with queer on the basis that stereotypical behaviour is inherent to a gay, possibly genetic (depending on whether the supposing in genetically-mediated behaviour can serve Queer praxis), and is not sexual in spite of being bound to a specific sexual preference, as the child may not yet be aware of it (though the educator can sense it, so long as the child has claimed the identity).
 
-Everyone is part of everyone while also being different. Does everyone claim to want to just be like everyone else? Probably not, though some do, of course, what they symbolize as the idea of equalization to all others insofar as having an equality at even just one level of abstraction can differ, and so in that way I can't say that everyone doesn't envision some type of equalization as an entry point to a symbol that they do interpret in some congruent manner. It becomes too difficult to work out, in any case.
+The pressure to not express the forms and human inflections of their critical identity arise from normativity as a political modality, thus Gay is a proxy for Queer. Because of system abuses, there is a moral impetus for everyone to be an ally, which does not corroborate with one having a consciousness, perspective or character of great depth, thus one can attain at least an equivalent moral status, though actually much higher, and great expectations of an accomplished, wise and experienced being, in being Queer. Since all identity is socially constructed, the outcome is based on priming the environment and performing the identities, alleviating any need to consider whether one must be inherently, genetically or otherwise foundationally verified as being truly of one identity or another.
 
-But what of the notion of difference? Sure, there is the separation of perception from one another, and one can sometimes imagine a tension between the reality of human embodiment and that of an absolute togetherness of all existence, and though it may first seem like a proposition to consider a religious metaphysic (in even one of the popularly recognized systems), anyone who has ventured into experience with psychoactive compounds can express to you some sort of familiar state of being which they believe themselves to be experiencing (evey beyond whether they believe that it is real, or whether they make the argument simply as phenomenological one whose subjective aspect is arbitrary in terms of it being inconsequential to reality, nature, history and so forth.
+###### Normal vs Different
 
-We could also venture off into somewhat more formalized permutation of the use of psychoactive compounds either as traditional shamanic rituals as cultural practice, as well as quasi-scientific psychoanalytical and anthropological studies, which have also noted similar observations.
+Of course the status quo and the normal is an imposition of oppression, and this would have to be the case, whether thinking definitionally in the abstract, or as per the aesthetic of human life. Isn't the limitation of spacetime and the human body already unfair and unjust in the sense that there could be so much more? There could be complete freedom of movement in the universe, the freedom to create through multiverses, or the ability to have many perspectives instead of one? Infinite perspectives? Perhaps, even just insofar as we accept that we have the limitations of a human body in spacetime, the oppression is that we aren't all bound as one in order to experience the tragedy together. Surely, as we all suffer in our separation and our lack of affirmation and attention from humans and humanity, it would be attenuated and made bearable if we knew for certain that we were all feeling one another's and the same pain all at once. We were all understanding one's unique existence is the fact of a human existence being unique to the rest. Understanding one's genius as the genius that human thought can be - that we are all capable of because we are all of the humanity which has had ingenious thought. 
 
-Further to that point, we can look towards some meditative practices and find claims of having entered a state of consciousness which appears to be some type of collective, meta or divine consciousness as well.
+But alas, if we are to be separate bodies, then can we not at least have the same body? The same mind? The same life? The same duration of life? Something more similar and equal so that our distinction is not a lost tragedy!
 
-There is something to the comforting, surreal and eternalizing concept of returning to some total state of being which can only be defined through some manner of completion, as it intuitively appears as though it would allow a human to transcend the limitations of matter, aging and death. But, this ain't science, nor an appropriate predicate for policy and governance, a secular form of ethics, and so on.
+In spite of that pull to soothe the pain of separation, we paradoxically desire to be different on our own terms. Does everyone claim to want to just be like everyone else? Through limitation of language, and expressing the appeal of assuaging one's loneliness, one might utter as much, but I'd wager it's more their focus on what is symbolized as the idea of making equivalent insofar as it calibrates the interfacing of one to another at a level of abstraction, but that ultimately in a manner which doesn't rob one of their unique experience, just so long as they believe themselves as the object to behold in the mind and eye of another. In this way, any totalitarian collective cult, such as the Queer, will always fail to truly hit the mark of satisfaction and legitimation.
 
-And what of being different? We are all just human, no? Or, everyone is just as different as everyone else, therefore we are all of the same in that we are different.
+In consideration of these realizations, we still have to give "the devil his due", so to speak. We can reject the totalitarian cults, but we need to understand that the impetus is still there. !TODO: SAFKT. What of the notion of difference? Sure, there is the separation of perception from one another, and one can sometimes imagine a tension between the reality of human embodiment and that of an absolute togetherness of all existence, and though it may first seem like a proposition to consider a religious metaphysic. Anyone who has ventured into experiences with psychoactive compounds can express to you some sort of familiar state of being which they believe themselves to be experiencing. And by familiar, it's a familiarity which becomes incredibly easy to notice in that, as much as each experience can seem so out of this world, the experiences induced by one particular psychedelic will bear distinct similarity such that one will feel a return to a locale with subsequent experiences.
 
-Some say they just want to be left alone and some say they just want to fit in and be like anyone.
+We could also venture off into somewhat more formalized permutation of the use of psychoactive compounds either as traditional shamanic rituals as cultural practice, as well as quasi-scientific psychoanalytical and anthropological studies, which have also noted similar observations.
 
-But there is a drive to be different which can even manifest in the disposition to fit in. It's almost as if being granted a social standing allows one to start ...
+Further to that point, we can look towards some meditative practices and find claims of having entered a state of consciousness which appears to be some type of collective, meta or divine consciousness as well. There is something to the comforting, surreal and eternalizing concept of returning to some total state of being which can only be defined through some manner of completion, as it intuitively appears as though it would allow a human to transcend the limitations of matter, aging and death. But solving the plight of human experience ain't science, as it is infinitely complex, and impossible to navigate with scientific rigour that is also meaningful.
 
-(skip over covidism symbolism)
+That isn't to say that psychedelic compounds or meditation hold the key for solving the ills of the perceived order of being or that they are a proper means of addressing a divine existence so much as it is to say that there are always going to be interesting means by which to examine these questions and that it's actually a liberal worldview which permits for various investigations to be performed and reflected upon at a meta level in a manner which minimizes ideological corruption of our understanding such as it can pertain to a belief in an objective reality.

-It is an ironic commonality that we find independent means of claiming differences: As a modality or source of self-conceived identity and as a means to not miss out on a appurtenance and provisions as can be found within a social sphere.
+In the midst of philosophically-supported drives towards collectivist liberation, it is ironic to find commonality in that we find independent means of claiming differences while using such claims to harvest collectively-designated resources. That is, modalities of self-conceived identity that are also a means to not miss out on appurtenances and provisions found within a social sphere.
 
 On the one hand, we claim our difference to maintain our distinction, but how to separate a distinction as a means of separation from its service as a means of buttressing oneself from potential exclusion -> TODO -> Research on social differentiation in a biological capacity: is it investigated in neuroscience?)
