Thank you for the mention ty-ty

Hmm...
I will have to contain myself, tread carefully, and take my time—because there is so much to say, so much that can be said. These thoughts, these perspectives… they’re tangled and complex. Especially when it comes to politics, wars—there is no black and white. There are countless, perhaps infinite, shades of grey.

First things first:
When someone says they don’t believe in nationalism or don’t hold on to a sense of identity or belonging to their nation—I find it difficult to trust them. Because love for one’s homeland is innate. It’s embedded in human nature. Yes, that’s a separate debate—what one considers their homeland to be.

Also, no matter how much someone insists they’re not biased in politics or in their worldview—there’s no such thing as complete neutrality. Everyone leans one way or the other, even if just slightly.

So it’s worth asking—why did I specifically mention Palestine and Ukraine?
Perhaps at that point in time, I could relate more closely to these nations and their struggles. When it’s a matter of the powerful versus the less powerful (not in will, but in resources), your heart naturally inclines towards the weaker side. And the more awareness, insight, and understanding you have—especially of global politics and strategy—the more likely you are to resonate with certain people or causes.

Having said that:
World politics is immensely complicated. No one can ever be absolutely certain about anything.
But as human beings, we can raise our voices, we can align ourselves with what we believe is on the right side of humanity.

I would never claim that our politics or governance is 100% transparent or flawless—but whenever it comes down to the sovereignty of my country versus an external threat, I will always stand with my country.

And why?
I agree—human dignity and freedom are deeply interwoven. To violate another's freedom through coercion or violence is, indeed, a violation of both their dignity and one's own humanity. But I also believe it's important to acknowledge the nuanced reality we live in, where power dynamics, historical trauma, and geopolitical interests shape actions that aren’t always easy to categorize as purely right or wrong.

In standing with my country, I don’t condone injustice or the suppression of anyone’s right to live freely. Rather, I recognize that in a deeply polarized world, sometimes defending sovereignty, identity, or even survival is seen as force—when in fact it might be a response to it.

I try to stand on the side of humanity—not in absolutes, but in awareness. And while I do believe that my nation, with all its imperfections, often strives toward that side more than away from it, I remain open to introspection. True freedom includes the freedom to question ourselves—both as individuals and as nations.

Give my regards to Vivienne :)
