There are many cultures around the world that are suppressed by majoritarianism. They have to face challenges like forced assimilation, language discrimination and refusal to acknowledgement of their unique identity. In fact, many cultures have been identified by UNESCO, that will soon cease to exist - either that they’re vulnerable, or completely extinct. How do you, as a minority, feel, knowing that your entire identity will cease to exist in a few decades? Do you have a sense of camaraderie towards other minorities from other parts of the world, say, the Ainu people, or the Brahui pastoralist?
It enrages me. I actively deny the settler culture; but damned if my denial changes anything. When their process is done, what I consider my culture will be a capital-n nothing compared to the capital-N Nothing™ that settler culture is. And it feels like not enough of my skinfolk have enough steel in their spines to fight anymore. Black Capitalism and liberal misleaders in the Black Congressional Caucus have ruined us, and our own reactionaries have made a mockery of Black radicalism.
It’s a sorry fuckin state of affairs; and honestly what informs my interactions with other minority cultures-- because 9 of 10, the same will happen to them if they don’t resist the same way, and I’ll be called everything from a fool to a traitor for aligning with them instead of the settlers who have their boot on my neck.
