occasional reflections on culture & politics
Race is exposed as a political construct born of colonialism and sustained by economic exploitation. The post traces its origins to slavery and eugenics, arguing that racism persists through institutional and cultural dehumanization. It calls for a shift from guilt to responsibility, urging collective action to dismantle systemic inequality and affirm universal humanity.
The post defends identity politics as a necessary response to systemic exclusion. It argues that while individuality should be the goal, social structures often deny recognition to marginalized groups. Identity is framed as socially constructed and politically enforced, making advocacy essential to expanding the boundaries of normality and achieving genuine equality.
Sexual violence is widespread and often silenced. The post argues that “believe all women” means giving accusers the benefit of the doubt—not abandoning due process, but recognizing that survivors rarely speak lightly. Respecting the accuser is a moral imperative, and rigorous investigation should be welcomed by all parties.
