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.
