Notes from the Under Dog L.'s avatar

This encapsulates the problem and that problem is human nature: “ It’s your frame of reference. Your frame of reference is America. But Russia does not want to be America. Russia exists in a parallel universe.””

What came along in North America at this time was the diversity ruse, which neatly coincides with globalization, which would increase the number of self-centered frameworks that would undermine any semblance of cohesion. Now as a white person if I act white around a brown person with a brown person framework I am “racist,” we have been forced into identities based on race and social class and nationalism has been demonized while it’s one thing that just might save us.
