How To Build International Solidarity 

Also a lot of them don't want decolonize their mindset and aren't really leftist. More ppl need to work to be more understanding and understand that we just live in a racist society and seeing everything through just the lense of race, over simplifies a lot of issues. And stop being discriminatory and downtalking solidarity. I just remember that meme if how "woke" ppl are no different from racists. Cause they lack intersectionality and also think of stuff soully through the lense of race. And don't want to deconstruct race theory. Just wanna make it more "hospitable".

Unfortunately/fortunately for English speakers, because it is such a universally useful language and is taught as one of the primary second languages (so much so that you can’t graduate high school without it in Denmark), it’s possible for them to be lazy about learning other languages and still get by across the globe. Annoyingly, in the UK, because we have a tendency to not feel part of continental Europe, we are not immersed in European languages as much as our continental cousins. Most of our culture is on constant recycle from the USA.

@@AtheistEve I noticed that, the UK really is just like the US across the pond.

@@jghifiversveiws8729 So much so that I’ve heard the UK being mocked by some as the 51st State for as long as I can remember.

@@AtheistEve Yeah the problem just is that they end up lacking insight into other cultures because they only ever see them from an English perspective. They can't actually read or listen to news from those countries unless it's from an English media source. I can read English, German, Swedish, Norwegian and some Chinese news to figure out what's going on in those countries but native English speakers can rarely do the same. This is especially a problem when it comes to for example South America where Americans who can't speak Spanish won't be able to understand what the general population is saying and can only understand the educated elite that speaks English. For any American leftist learning Spanish should be a priority but they often don't even realize that it matters. In fact if you suggest it they'll respond with hostility and I get that learning a language can be hard but it's not an impossible obstacle to overcome, it just takes some time. It basically becomes an echo chamber that reinforces imperialistic beliefs.

Good mindset my comrade. Hope you have a good life.

This is great. People (myself included) embark on spiritual journeys (most times unbeknownst to them at onset) to learn to let go limiting identities. You're way ahead of the game

@@aboyade9 For many people the way I live seems like I lack identity. They think I'm no one. But my identity is strong and vivd, it's just composed of different things that people are afraid to let go of because they used them for years to build their own self-worth. I only identify based on adopted philosophies. I believe that philosophy is the most important thing in everyone's lives whether people realize it or not. Most humans don't really realize just how much philosophies impact everything around them in current historical era/ their country/ media but THAT'S the very core of everything we do and why we do anything at all.

@@AmberyTear True,based and red pilled!

Now that you make me think about it you're right, most people ignore what happens in other countries, apart from being a dick move because we are all a big family, it is so inconvenient because what happens in other countries also affects your place in the world, there is no individual separeted from society, we are a big organism, and each of us is like a cell in the human body, if the liver shuts down we need to care, ence its easy to ignore the other organs if everything is going well, at least that is the situation in first world

I'm an american but not really an American and that sort of shit rly weirds me out. It's also weird that American is typically used to define people in the US exclusively and not like. Everyone in the Americas. For clarity regarding the above statement, as this might have muddied the waters, I live in the US.

@@something-from-elsewhere it's particularly weird given how many successful movements there are to learn from in South America

you should combine learning another language with listening to music in that language. Makes it a lot easier and more fun and you'd get to explore the culture a little bit. I listen to a lot off different languages in music and if you'd heard a song 10 times and you look up the translation it's a lot easier to actually learn the words because you allready memorise them phoneticly. Also if you listen to the music during your day you can study a language while doing other stuff. Might make your otherwise not very meaningfull day a bit more interesting. On the jobsites i work at i try to greet and say stuff to the workers that speak a different language to practice but also to break the linguistic segregation.

Saluton!

These vids are some of the best Anarchist content on RU-vid, so that wouldn’t surprise me at all
