As long as the narrative of major nations and corporations prevails, your story and struggles remain invisible if you don’t speak the language of economics.
Today, economics holds the same power in our world as the Catholic Church did in medieval Europe.
The world’s secrets are understood only by a select elite, and your suffering is insignificant unless it fits into a business model.
Nevertheless, I will not let this feeling divide us further and will keep searching for connection in the deepest essence of what makes us human.
I’ve put my hopes in the love of our common humanity, and no political outcome will ever change that.
The Dutch election results really hurt my feelings, I can’t believe so many people voted for the extreme right party of @geertwilderspvv. Very sad, and luckily I have the right to feel sad because I’m a human being, just like you.
I try to channel the pain in my families bloodline into wisdom, for a brighter future. But I feel like no one’s listening, like there is no place for people like me…
I’m Dutch/Surinamese/Indonesian. I’d like to share this with you because it’s real. It’s a real feeling that I’m experiencing. I have ancestors who worked as slaves, who fought and sought refuge in colonial wars, and who died of starvation because of poverty.
@JJKrispijn Waardeloos debat, hoe ze nog durfen te vragen: “hoe willen deze partijen polarisatie voorkomen?” Dit format werkt averechts, dat doen Timmermans & Omtzigt een stuk beter.
@S_VanTeutem Onze overheid mist een holistische visie, vol inzetten op betrokken burgers met gedistribueerde opwek, opslag en gebruik. Democratische waarden integreren in slimme data-driven systemen. Met sociale energie communities onderscheiden we ons van gecentraliseerde energie governance.
