The title of your post, "We Have Always Been At War", caught my | |
attention, but for different reason than you exposed in your text, | |
it surprised me to read about 1984. | |
Recently I watched a Netflix documentary about the history of Braz | |
and how the national culture was shaped by the different (but not | |
many) wars we went through. [0] | |
While I don't agree completely with many of the points made in the | |
documentary, one statement marked me. | |
It was by Ailton Krenak [1], a leader of Brazilian indigenous | |
movement. He stares at the documentary producers and says: | |
"I don't know why you look at me with a happy face. We're at war. | |
Your world and mine are at war." | |
We have always been at war. | |
When I read your post title, I assumed somehow you had also watche | |
the recently released documentary and was going to talk about this | |
