INPRIMATU
For complex responses

In these periods hyper accelerate and in these fluids the blunt responses offer us handles. It is easy in times of crisis to grasp such a premise and raise the flag. You need quick answers to understand everything that happens around you, which often leads us to look for the culprits around you. When instead of looking up, you limit the analysis to 180 degrees that allows the head to rotate, you end up saying what the right has repeated over and over again from your voice (even if it doesn't say literally, it suggests). Some ideas easily enter our minds and even find a place to register easier. Suddenly, justice, struggle, freedom, rights, change, people -- and the great words that make up the dictionary of the transformative movement on the left fill the agenda on the right. But freedom, justice or people will hardly have the same meaning on the lips of those who want the opposite. The name doesn't mean it's always. Unexpectedly, believing that we are working on defending the majority, we will be reading the world from the glasses of a few (or 180 degrees back).

Intersectionality is a competition that aims to accumulate medals of the oppressed. Feminism hasn't taught me that.

In this whirlwind, the discourse that the Basques are privileged is not new. It's not new, but the wind blows strongly into the digital plazas. In recent days we have also had to read that the Basque language is the language of the bourgeoisie. Supposedly, some analyses conducted from a class perspective have led some to forget many other extremes. What you see with a patch in one eye can't be called analysis or criticism, because what we're going to see is not complete, and because the reality we interpret of what we see is going to be vulgar. More than from a class point of view, I would say that they are made since the earthquake of privilege threats. In those criticisms, you, who cannot live in your country in your language, now, simply because you want to live in your language, say that you are a privileged one. Beware! They say your vasquism is a bourgeoisie. Intersectionality is a competition that aims to accumulate medals of the oppressed. Feminism has not taught me. It has taught me that sometimes complex realities can only be read with complex questions and answers. Complex answers don't find a place that easy inside of us, but I'm more confident in a 360-degree view. It's worth it.
