Dissolving Colonial Structures

You are either gonna see, depending on how you look at it, you'll see collapse or recalibration. And it kind of depends on whether or not you think that the nation state model is sacred. This will determine how you view what's going on because what is definitely collapsing is the colonial map, you know. The borders that Europe drew for their own purposes on somebody else's land, on somebody else's soil. Those are dissolving.

And what is emerging is not actually anarchy because beneath those colonial borders there's still the memory of the world that we had before the colonizers arrived. It was a world of Sultanates within the Khilafa, you know, Emirate like polities, coastal confederations, caravan economies and so forth. Maritime civilizations connected to the Gulf, connected to the Red Sea, connected to the Indian Ocean and so on. Connected there, not connected to London and not to Paris and not to Washington and so forth. Okay?

Granted this sort of unearthing or or excavation of preexisting structures can look like instability. And to the West it will look like state failure because of course they see it that way. Because it is the states that they set up that are collapsing. You understand? And yes, the process is going to be disruptive.

It is going to be difficult. It's gonna even be anarchic in some ways. Just like how an excavation might look like you're just digging up and disrupting the land, but the fact of the matter is what lies beneath the colonial layer is actually more stable and more durable. The colonizers actually burned the grass so that they could lay astroturf, and now that astroturf is being burned.
