History

Micro-relational approaches are promoted. With a warm heart we stand and use war-metaphors to express or opinions. We fight for some rights.

The built leverage might, however, not be enough for changing situations in rural areas, for changing the angry white man, for informing the under-informed and uninterested, or the falsely informed truthers. It does not change conservative Latinos who embrace their family or honest workers who only want a job that pays more than average. It does not change social structures of distribution. All or minimal ideas do not reach the sphere of self-realizing ideas. 

Some warm glow feelings come back to us who tell a story of globalized, universal rights. Protection of minorities, however, is not up to some people standing up in buses fighting against the obvious idiots, but it is about forged and instituted concepts. As much as there are no causes from a sociological perspective, there are almost no micro-activities that induce change in that regards. 

Maybe people should rather become active in NGO's and work on discourse abilities to find a new idea of how to unite people in meritocracies? 

I held the position that there is nothing happening in philosophy right now. After 9/11 we are in a period of transition and transformation at best. The Marxist stories are told, the libertarian story is told and some communitarians decided to teach their ideas in Canada. Maybe it is the best choice to go to countries that are good in telling new stories and seeking for new ways of life. 

There is no change by gentrifying our areas. There is no change by me staying here, staying connected with some friends. Moreover, standing up for those in need, as much as we should do it, does not change those in need. Minorities are very well trained in racism and hatred, they just don't have the majority to express it. I am clear on leaving and seeking something else.

Our critique of the system is absorbed in a new form of anti-establishment government, a government that claims to be against the government as much as we are against it.
