as a vegan living in a world that's a killing meat-making machine i have to
adjust my dialogue constantly. and the same applies to talking about nation.
an anarchist for twenty years i remain so. if my statement "reeks of
nationalism" (from your pov) it's because i need to use its terminologies to
express myself, to work against it. it's impossible to escape the terms of
reference. i will work on ways of overcoming this. regardless of my spiritual
beliefs, i cannot accept christ as part of this discourse - in this context he
represents cultural, spiritual, and social imperialism. i stick by my
statement.
best,
jk
