1.

How have we as a global society come to find ourselves in this peculiar political moment?

Why is it so difficult for the mainstream media to imagine left-wing alternatives to the problems that we have?

Why do populism and fascism seem to be logical conclusions to our situation for so many people around the world?

Why haven't we foreseen the symptoms for something that is a repetitive mechanism in our history?

Why do we allow these things to happen?

Why is it so difficult to make them stop?

Why do we go home after the protests?

What is the point of the protests?

Is it going to get worse?

How can we change this situation?

Are we capable of understanding the other side?

Are there any new methodologies that will allow us to not repeat the same errors?

Why is there another side and how did we find ourselves on this side?

Who can answer our questions?

Why don't we ask the psychologists?

Does the majority even care about what's going on?

How is right-wing populism related to capitalism?

Why don't we invite the other side to the discussion?

Why don't they come?

Do they come?

What can we do to invite the other side to our discussions so they have an opportunity to listen and we have an opportunity to listen to them?

What if they come with axes?

Are we afraid of this bipolarization?

Are we afraid of binary opposition?

Do we believe that binary opposition exists?

Are we afraid in generał?

Are they afraid?

How is this isolationist mentality the consequence of a desire to create a coherent worldview and a coherent feeling of home and safety?

How do we create coherence and strategies that help us to understand the world and what's going on and let us sleep at night with all the complexity that we find?

How can we be surę that the things we find bad are really bad for the rest of the population?

Are we patronizing sometimes?

Are we facing a dead end road? When all these divisions have been expressed before, so many times, are we facing a dead end?

How do we know that our way is the best way?

Do we think that the so-called other side believes as strongly that their way is the best way as we do?

What are the steps of the educational processes in this gamę that we're playing?

How important is education—from primary education to high school—in the recreation and repetition of those divisions?

Isn't it often when someone from your own family—your father, mother—tells us what side we are on?

What is the impact of the media and the politicians?

How to stop the polarization?

Isn't this polarization another gamę that the media is based on?

What if someone who is very close to you—a family member for example—moves on to the other side?

Why is the space between opposite sides so smali?

Why is there no middle?

Did you cali the battlefield smali?

Why does there have to be a battlefield?

Is there any battlefield?

When did the battlefield appear?

How is the battlefield influenced by the media and redesigned by the media viewers?

Aren't the media viewers the population themselves—the society?

Are they us?

What does it mean that we're having this conversation inside an exhibition and how does this set-up influence the situation?

Aren't the exhibition spaces the exact spaces to talk about important issues?

Is it accessible for everyone?

If not, why?

Why do people prefer to spend their time in shopping malls not thinking about so-called important issues?

Are these issues that we are talking about really important for the average person?

Who is the average person?

Why is our conversation in the CCA and not in the shopping mail?

Why are we not in the shopping mail?

Can we go to the shopping mail next time?

Would anyone join us if we were sitting like this in the shopping mail? What would guards say? Is it possible to talk like this in a commercial space?

How fast would we arrive in the panie room?

Why do we have to think about these things?

What kind of things?

Why did this topie appear? Why can't we just imagine going to the shopping mail to have a conversation?

Why do you think we are not the people who spend time in the shopping mail?

Why do we think that the shopping mail is morę authentic than the art museum?

What is the art museum for other people?

Why does less than one percent of inhabitants of Warsaw spend their time in art museums?

Why don't they try to change it?

Why is it a global reality that a minority of the population visits museums and other educational spaces out of free will?

How come consumption is a morę important feature of our society and is morę common than education and conversation?

Why is it so hard to answer these questions in my head with the views I had before?

Does your view change while we're in conversation?

Why don't I think so?

Why don't we negotiate the function of places, institutions, places to talk about important issues?

Why do we open these public spaces and people still don't come?

What did we do wrong?

What do we do well?

Are museums spaces of authority?

Are we being surveilled right now?

Are we seen?

Do we care?

What is the authority of the museum, what does it exclude, and how is it endangered by fascism?

How is the museum a space of protection for different mindsets that can be explored?

If the space is exclusive, does it protect us or someone else?

What if they are not coming because they don't feel that they are inclusive?

What if it goes back to education again?

What if us as kids were not taken to museums by force, by need, by someone else?

How can we change education to an influence?

Should museums be morę inclusive of the perspectives of the right?

How would it change our point of view on museums?

Should museums work on their educational missions?

What if those museums then show that humans and dinosaurs walked together thousands of years ago?

What is the difference between a museum and a Center for Contemporary Art?

What is the difference between a center for contemporary art and other contemporary institutions?

What if we could create some morę safe place inside the institutions?

What if to all the questions that we ask, you in your mind have different answers than I do?

How can I be surę that we are having a conversation?

How is it possible that I think that you have the same answers as I have?

What makes you so surę?

Is it too early to have any answers?

What is the role of the artist in society?

What is the role of the curator in opening up institutions to civil society?

What is the role of architecture and design of exhibitions in the process of audience-making?

Why are our museums in palaces and manors and castles?

Why are the walls white?

And why are they also and bunkers and fortresses and spaces of former violence?

Why do those who want to change it would rather meet not in those palaces but in spaces that are fundamentally the exact opposite?

Why would we like to escape the bipolar division?

Why are we so surę we are on the same side against the other side?

Don't we need to keep those sides?

What if there are no sides?

If there are no sides, what is there?

Are the sides being constructed?

Doesn't the construction make them exist?

Which side—if the sides really exist—is bigger?

Is the fascist the new "other"?

Are there morę than two sides?

Is it bi-polar?

Are there sides and sideways?

Isn't there a little bit of fascism within all of us?

Was it always there?

How do we fight the fascism within ourselves?

How do we reduce our own ego in that process?

How can people still say "I'm not interested in politics"?

What if through social media a lot of the values that we knew before have changed?

What if some young anarchist would like us to pose for photos for an Instagram page? What happens when we can buy "punk" jeans at HSM Stores because they're mass-produced?

Are the sides we need as elear as they used to be before when we invented those bi-polar oppositions?

How has social media become a tool for campaigning and how can we use it for an emancipatory campaign?

What makes social media so social? Isn't it by chance antisocial? What if it breaks former social behaviors into fuli alienation, producing even morę antisocial profiles of individuals?

How can we use social media to demolish fascism, racism and capitalism?

What is fascism? What does it all include?

Are we fascist too?

What if hate differs from love by just one percent?

What if one percent matters?

One percent of what?

Is there such a thing as empirical truth, of objective truth?

Can I answer this question with "no"?

Who will answer these questions for us?

If we reject the idea of truth, do we lose everything along with it?

If we agree that truth is a fiction, what then happens to history?

What if there are too many individual truths depending on context?

Can we invite ... to our next meeting?

What if we take all those Container ships that are standing nearby all the countries in Southeast Asia that are filled with all the fridges and technical equipment and hit them on the rocks in India?

Why India?

Why not?

How are our genders composed?

Can there be fascism in a matriarchat society?

How is fascism connected with gender?

How is it connected to the roles we play if we decide that life is theater and that we need to play these roles?

Why don't we just draw borders in our country and on one side the fascists could live their lives in fascism and we could fili the other side with our equality, etc?

What if they are now amongst us and hearing these names and start hitting us in the face?

Are these terms really necessary in these types of conversations?

If we cali them fascists are they still human for us or just some type of monsters?

Under what circumstances do us become them and they become us?

If we cali somebody fascist are we fascist in the same moment somehow?

Why do I keep thinking of Voltaire's Candide in this context?

Do we treat all people equally?

By calling someone a fascist, do we reproduce those divisions that we are talking about?

When we cali someone a fascist, do they become fascist even if they weren't before?

How does naming imply defending?

Are we open to have such conversations with fascists?

Are we open to any conversations with fascists?

Who knows them?

Are there rules and forms of behavior that are natural for us but at the same time can precede them and might be rules that make gatherings like this exclusive to people who are trained in acting in a specific way and having specific forms of conversations?

What would happen if someone were to join this group who has a very different way of knowing how to act in a group and how to discuss what is dear to us?

What are our values and how do they differ from those we define as fascist?

What if we don't come up with any better ideas for how to improve the world?

Why do we consider fascists to be so different from us? Why do we believe that the gaps in society are not so large?

What if we start from ourselves?

Who are we?

What can we do together?

How can we liberate our vocabulary?

What is the role of language?

Are we speaking the same language as people whom we define as fascists?

Are we speaking the same language as the people here in the circle?

How do we gather morę people like us to change the world? Isn't it beautiful that people from all over the world can feel that they are in community even though they only ask questions?

Should we ask morę questions in our lives?

What is the most important thing to people around the world?

Do you think that people around the world would concur that the most important thing is an object or an emotion? Would they say that it is water or love?

Ultimately, is it possible to convince someone to care about something they don't care about?

Don't you feel sometimes that gender inequality is the ultimate source of the rise of fascism around the world? If fascists are reeruiting people into their ranks through propaganda and social media, should we not be seeking to reeruit people from the ranks of the far-right to join our causes like environmentalism, gender equality and racial equality through the use of art and other forms of propaganda?

Why were we on the left unable to celebrate the failure of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which was widely opposed by the left, because the trade agreement was opposed by President Trump who we say stands for everything that we are against?

Why can't we recognize that there are some victories that we share and celebrate those moments together?

Would you be happy to march alongside a fascist in an attempt to gain something that you find valuable politically?

Would you be willing to march alongside someone whose overall political identity you find distasteful if you could achieve a valuable political win through coalition?

What is the reason the police don't take away the racist banners from the protestors?

Why didn't some people at the march say something about the banners?

Is it possible that these slogans were only used for PR reasons?

Does the media benefit from polarization?

Do these types of slogans help in reeruiting others?

How will we remember this evening?

What if these Neo-Nazis are people as well?

Why do some people think they are better than other people?

And why do some people not think that they are better than others?

Do we think that we are better than others?

Can we really not think that we are better than other people?

Why is mass media or technology morę suitable for nationalists?

If it is true that it is better to be heard than understood, would it mean that the whole source of that situation is an inferiority complex?

Is the march therefore a platform for expression, not for change?

Why does populism go hand in hand with nationalism and fascism?

How can we formulate anti-fascist visions so that they are actually understood by people?

Why do we say that it's a fight?

Why do people act like it's not a fight?

What are we talking about?

Will a multiplicity of truth cause chaos in an understanding of things?

If there are lots of truths, will they cause chaos between themselves?

Was it ever different in history?

Is it possible to connect with people through things that are very frail, delicate, soft, not easy to grasp?

Do you mean if we could befriend the fascists?

Why are young people afraid of the futurę in our country? Why is it so hard to respect others' opinions sometimes? Why do people always anticipate wars?

Why does fear always lead to fascism but never the opposite?

Does the past or the futurę exist?

Is fascism connected with a trauma?

Should we consider every person at the November 11 march a nationalist or as a fascist?

Is "nationalist" a derogatory word?

Why shouldn't we consider everyone at the march as a radical nationalist if they are walking behind banners that are racist?

Why don't we talk about what we can do rather than what others shouldn't do?

Do I do enough?

Do we believe that everyone at the November 11 march was a Nazi or a nationalist?

Why couldn't they think for themselves?

Why did they agree to walk behind those slogans?

Is it bad not to know about this march?

Is it possible that the majority of these people didn't see those racist banners?

Why do we think that all the people walking at the march were only behind those slogans?

Why do we think it is strange to walk on this day if you

are a foreigner?

How far are we willing to go?

Do people actually mean what they say?

What does it mean to speak?

What does it mean to understand?

What if some people just treated this march as a big party?

Why do we have to talk about the march?

What if they are right?

What do you mean?

What if that is what God is like?

Why do we believe in God?

Shouldn't God and belief be personal? Why are they so politicized and madę into something public that can also be manipulated?

Why do people feel that they can force others into faith? Why do people believe in God but don't believe in themselves?

Is religious manipulation the very basis of this problem? What if it's no one's fault but the system that Controls everyone that we cannot escape?

Why do so many people follow the system?

Is there a way to not be in a system?

Is it obligatory to follow the system?

Are you aware that you are not in the system?

Can fascism exist only on a national level but also on a personal level like in a fraternity?

Why don't we have interesting artworks from the right wing?

Why is art the domain of the left wing?

Is that true?

Has the right wing stopped believing in the power of art to transmit values and ideas?

Has the left?

Is this postmodernism?

What do you consider to be interesting?

Can you name an artwork which is important that has nationalist ideał?

Can you name Italian futurist artists?

Why don't our English lessons look like this one?

Why doesn't school look like this?

For whom should the arts be important in order for us to consider it as having importance? Is it a question of who or a question of how many?

Who makes the decisions about what is important and what is not?

And why do we trust them?

Was the nationalist march really the best possible party? How can we organize an alternative bigger and better party?

Do messages that we feel are inclusive make others feel excluded?

Why do most people just think and talk but do not act and do?

Does that include us as well?

Do I deceive myself into thinking I am making an impact? What is the connection between protest and real transformation of society?

And if not, what else can we do?

Can not doing anything change something?

Why are we divided within our respective countries all over the world?

Is it connected to wealth inequality?

Has it always been connected to wealth inequality?

Has it always been connected to race?

Is there a difference between protest and a manifestation? And does it make sense that a manifestation is an act of promoting something in a positive way rather than protesting against something? Shouldn't we promote what we are for rather than what we are against?

Is it possible to love someone if you don't love yourself?

Do we have another option?

Why do we go to jail when we don't pay taxes?

Why do we have jails?

Why did police beat the protesters at the November 11 march a few years ago?

How many of us sitting here today have actually physically been, either as a researcher, a visitor or as someone who was being held, inside a jail?

Why haven't you been inside a jail?

Shouldn't we all go?

How can the US believe that it's spreading freedom when we incarcerate morę people per capita than anywhere else in the world?

Why do we think that jail is a bad idea?

Why do we think it is good?

Do we have any proof that jail has ever done anything positive for the world?

Can we find a better solution for people who hurt us?

Should we?

Why should we?

Why was this year's November march with so many people without damages?

Would you not be afraid if a murderer was not in jail?

Who is a murderer?

Is a murderer a human being?

Does a criminal have human rights?

Does a criminal cease being a person after a criminal act?

Why be racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic when you could just be quiet?

Why are minorities considered a threat by the majority? Why do we cali a place for separation for people who are dangerous to society "jail"?

Why aren't we calling "human rights" "human lefts"?

How can we say that there were no damages at the march if minorities, people of color, queer people, trans people feel that their lives are in danger and are unwelcome in their home?

Why was I afraid on that day to walk alone in the Streets of Warsaw?

What does it mean when foreigners feel afraid to walk alone?

Can we collaborate without aggression?

Why did it happen only in Warsaw?

Why do you think it only happens in Warsaw?

What are the elements of our daily lives that we are ignoring when we concentrate on the events of the march? Why do we forget about celebrating independence?

Can we celebrate independence and still celebrate togetherness?

Were they really celebrating independence or something

else?

Can we celebrate history without using violence or without performing violence?

Do Polish people like to celebrate, to go out to the streets and have fun?

What if we had morę fun on the streets together? Would there still be space on the streets for marches like a couple of days ago?

What if those people really wanted to have fun?

What if aggression is fun for some people?

Why do people concentrate only on aggressive things?

Why is football connected to nationalism around the world?

Why is an average young Polish guy right wing?

Why do you think it's just guys?

Do average people exist?

Do you mean the majority?

What if there are morę young men who are not nationalists but they just don't know?

Why do we need to talk about these labels?

Why do people feel the need to label other people? Is it making things easier?

How would the planet look if people focus on the things that join them and not separate them?

Do we have things in common with the people we are calling "nationalists"? Do we have values that we share?

Who really started the aggressive behavior towards something different?

What if it is human naturę to be aggressive toward difference?

What if it's been in the world sińce whenever?

Then why should we continue it?

Why do we not evolve?

What if it's a vicious circle?

What if history doesn't really exist?

Was it really so much better for the last 15 years?

Why does almost everyone find this complexity ugly somehow?

Why should we always compare things to find the answer or find something better or worse?

Is there another way?

What will happen as climate change gets worse and we face increasing pressure on our local systems? As there are massive population shifts causing pressures that nationalists are perhaps afraid of, will some of us be swayed by their arguments?

Is it okay to celebrate independence if it was achieved by violence?

What if talking with people who believe the same things that you believe is really not the most important thing right now?

What would be the right thing to do?

Are we ready to welcome a nationalist or a fascist to this circle? What would this conversation look like? What questions would we ask them? What questions would they ask us?

Isn't separating nationalist discourse from public debate the right thing to do?

Is a consensus possible?

In what sense would this conversation actually make sense and be constructive?

If there were a nationalist person—a strong right wing person—here, would they actually ask any questions?

How do we know there are not nationalists in this circle? Can we assume that this half of the room and the other is not, just by talking?

Can we assume that the people who are wearing black are nationalists?

Have you asked yourself if you are a nationalist or not? Don't you want God?

What is the origin and logie behind people—usually white people—looking down at Black people?

Why do Black people always think that you are looking at them because they're black and not because they are, for example wearing nice clothes?

Or maybe they just wonder?

How do you know what Black people are always thinking? Have you asked them? All of them?

Haven't you mentioned before that you are looked at in a negative way?

Why are people always staring at me?

Why do we talk about negative things?

Why do you think this is a negative conversation?

Doesn't it lead to the conclusion that enemies unitę?

Do we know what to do to change things?

Can all those who have already asked questions stay quiet for two minutes and allow those others as well?

Do those people who have not already asked things want to ask questions?

Can we speak about something morę pleasant, like food?

If you are quiet in a smali group like this, how can you voice your concerns on a larger scalę?

Why is there a sense of pressure?

Why are people afraid to tell what they think?

Why do you think people want to speak?

Why is it so important for people to have the ability to be heard and listen?

Why do smallest dogs bark loudest?

Why is it comfortable to be quiet?

Is it so comfortable to be quiet?

Why are people always trying to hide, even from their opinions?

Why do others think that hiding is the easier way?

Are you going to do something with these questions?

Why are we always forced to have an opinion?

Does everyone know what will happen?

Is rejection the worst experience?

What if hate is really not the opposite of love? What if the opposite of love is total indifference?

Why do some people hate their own country?

Why don't all the conversations we have look like this one?

What if behind hate there is some beautiful need that every person on this planet has and we just don't see it? What if hate is a freedom, too?

Does any person really want to be evil?

Can anyone think about himself of herself that her or she is evil?

Is it normal to think that we are kind?

If I am supposed to be afraid of everyone at the nationalist march, why did some people go out of their way to be kind to me, and offer me their kind?

Why do we keep talking about the nationalist march?

Why are you afraid to talk about the nationalist march? Why when we hear the word "murderer" do we always think about some serial killer or something and not think that someone might be under some pressure to behave like this—to kill someone?

Why do we always think the way we used to think?

Why do we think up excuses for the things we do?

If we are for death penalty against murderers, are we murderers?

What if we don't need any excuses for our actions?

Why can't we just do what we feel?

What if joining the march for some people was the most important thing in their lives?

How else could they fulfill the same need?

What if feelings make us human and not feeling is evil?

Do we as Polish people secretly feel superior to people from those countries that are less wealthy?

What can we all do after leaving this room and this conversation?

Do you think this whole thing is actually based on any feeling of superiority?

Why don't we feel when someone dies?

What are we to do?

What can we do?

Why don't we even try?

Why is taking drugs bad?

Why do some people kill each other?

Why do we feel a need for respect?

Why should we allow people to kill themselves?

Why are drugs illegal in the first place?

Aren't there morę dangerous things than drugs?

Who decides what is illegal or legał?

What if legalization is a way of criminalizing some people?

Why isn't alcohol considered a drug?

What if legalization is all about business?

What if anarchy is a solution?

Why do we identify with a nation but not its laws?

What is the power of law?

Why do people identify with places or ideas but then don't follow their rules?

If people simply followed the rules would the world be better?

What if we had morę local decision-making?

Why does the Polish national government want to control local governments?

What if things don't get better than this?

Why don't people want to live here? Why are Poles leaving the country?

Is it actually better anywhere else?

What has to happen for people to realize they are controlled?

Is it true that education is training for stupidity and obedience?

Can we in...

Would we be interested in educating ourselves if there was no pressure to do so?

How do you learn your first language?

Is educational development connected to spiritual development?

Do people care morę about learning or about knowing?

Is there such a thing as experience?

Why is there not a global education?

What would global education look like?

Who would teach the classes?

Would global education include everyone's history?

Aren't we deciding what we know every day? Isn't it our choice to know or not know?

Isn't the spectrum of possibilities for knowledge too narrow?

Why do we interpret what is important and what is not important?

What drives us to continue?

4.

Why are we afraid to talk to each other?

Am I stoking my own fear?

Do we believe in divide and conquer?

Who is the conquerer?

Does the media seek to divide and conquer?

On whose behalf are we being divided?

Is there anything wrong with loving your nation? Your state? Your region?

Should we have global citizenship?

If you could choose to be legally stateless, would you? Should we create international cities as an answer to nationalism?

Are identities an accumulation of data, of inputs—of history, experiences, associations, possibilities?

In our minds, where is the linę that divides a healthy love of nation from a problematic one?

Should I smile at fascists? Nationalists?

What are the elements of our daily lives that we are ignoring when we concentrate on the events of the march as the epitome of bad behavior?

Was the nationalist march art?

Should we divide and benevolently conquer the attendees of the nationalist march?

Should we declare war?

Who declares war these days?

Who am I, who are we, without them to compare ourselves to?

Do I still believe that we can change?

By asking questions, do we dismantle our internal fascism?

By asking questions about fascism, do we dilute our truths, our knowledge, and our ethical foundation?

What makes me happy?

Why does it feel so good to be correct?

Is it true that the left is morę cosmopolitan than the right?

Who will write our history?

Why did the media widely promote a sign that wasn't actually at the march? Weren't the real images enough to make a point?

Does it matter that it was not there?

Does it in fact articulate an unspoken opinion morę clearly than the existing banners and chants?

Has fake news always existed?

How much of our history is based on fake news?

Is this fake news a product of confirmation bias or something a little bit morę sinister, like a scion?

How does fake news make our community morę common?

What benefit does the Western media have to portray Poland in this manner?

Why do I realize right now that if there has been so much attention on what's going on Poland, it is not because we are concerned about the rise of Nationalism in Poland but perhaps it is someone else's interest?

Where is George Soros?

Who actually has an interest in portraying Poland as a nationalist and xenophobic country?

Is it Russia?

What does it mean that we want to know whether it is Russia who is burning up this conversation about fake news and nationalism?

Although this rise of nationalism and authoritarianism is definitely a situation here, how insulting is it to compare a Pole to a Nazi, even if they are a nationalist? Why is ONR—an organization directly connected to historical anti-semitism and nationalism—legał in Poland?

Are world powers trying to make their battlefield in Poland again?

Who are the world powers?

Do we as citizens have any impact on how those powers can influence our lives?

How often do we speak to someone who doesn't have exactly the same point of view as we do?

Are we handicapped by our lexicon?

Is it helpful to use the word "Nazi" to talk about a contemporary group?

What is the role of semantics in constructing ideology? How important is historical revisionism when it comes to recycling ideology?

Would it actually help anyhow to use violence against violence?

What are so-called European values?

Do we agree with European values?

What are so-called Polish values?

Can a value belong to a nation?

Why do Poles still think hospitality is our national characteristic if we don't want to bring a single in our country? Does Poland still have a right to think that hospitality is our national feature?

Why are Poles not inviting those in need to Christmas supper sińce all of us are leaving one piąte for a stranger?

Will we do something this year about the refugees around Christmas?

Why wait until Christmas to make some big moves, some spectacular event?

Do we wait until Christmas so that we won't have to spend the day with our families?

Was life better before there were national borders?

Before there were nations?

What do we know about those times?

Maybe people had different problems then and we don't know anything about it because there was no media?

Is it time to bring back the City-state?

Or would that be devolution?

Is there such a thing as progress or evolution?

Would exterminating fascists solve the problem of tensions within society?

Did Hitler have any valid points in Mein Kampf or was it all rubbish?

Why was Zygmund Belmond resigned to a life in exile?

Can you play nations like you play musical chairs?

Is a nation a nation without its own currency?

In what ways is a nation a Corporation?

Can I move to McDonalds country?

Is a Corporation a nation?

Is a Corporation a person?

Are some legał precedents as valued today as when they were decreed?

If we think that nationalism is so problematic, would we be willing to give up our nationality and become stateless persons to make a point? Would we be willing to live without a nation?

What if global corporations already did what you suggested and are national without nations—global?

Why is BlackRock, a Corporation, have morę assets than any other sovereign nation? Why is a Corporation the largest economic superpower in the world?

How do we redistribute wealth? How does that actually work in practice?

How are corporations making us nationally proud of having corporations within our borders?

Why do I have so many questions that I am afraid to even articulate? Why does it frighten me to even articulate questions?

Why do I feel hopeless?

How many of us are truły engaged in any social movement? How do our everyday choices reflect our national bonds— eating and drinking—smali things?

Why do our left-wing social movements feel polarizing and oppressive to me and make me want to crawl into my room and disengage from the world?

Why am I not inspired by our social movements that are active today?

Are social movements possible without leaders?

Why do we face so many problems today and how can we maintain the strength to keep fighting?

Isn't localism in social movements a new kind of nationalism? Choosing local products? Is it a bad thing?

Is economic nationalism different from political nationalism? What about ethnic nationalism?

Aren't generosity, diversity and solidarity the main weapons we could use to fight both capitalism and fascism? Is supporting your local economy a means of redistributing wealth?

How is nationalism connected with the economic state of people?

Do you think multi-billionaires are nationalists? Do they care about nations?

Who are the greatest role models of today?

Does blood decompose in the soil?

What about joy?

Where can we find joy in the world today when it seems that everything we're doing is the wrong move? Wen even something as joyous as glitter has to be banned because even glitter is destroying the world?

What if I can no longer eat my favorite nuts because I found out last week that their production is harmful to workers?

Where did you find cashews with Nazis inside?

Did you know that the favorite superfoods of vegans are completely killing the ecosystems?

Should we just eat meat?

Are vegans the new fascists?

Is vegan ethical?

How do our consumptive choices say about who we are and what we believe in?

Are we aware that being able to make some very basie choices like what we will eat is a privilege of elites? What if there is no ethical consumption at all, either rich or poor?

How come everything today seems so complicated and was it ever morę simple?

How far can it go to take so much time to check if every single product has ethical problems? How much time can we spend doing that?

Is there an app for that?

Should we make one?

Would it really solve world problems?

Or would using it just make some people feel better?

Isn't it important that we do these little things that make us feel like we're making a difference so that we feel like we have some agency to make change in the world and don't just stop trying?

How can we help people have morę agency?

Isn't that what people were doing on 11/11?

Why do people think that violence is an expression of agency? Why do people think that excluding people from a community because of their religion or ethnicity is agency?

What kind of agency do we actually possess in an age of global corporations?

Is choice our agency?

Wouldn't it be better if we all just stayed at home and did work in our own local communities and didn't pollute the Earth with our travel carbon footprints?

What would the world look like without cultural exchange? What if you feel unsafe in your community?

What if we know that all of our communities are going to be irreparably changed in the next 20-50 years by climate change and we know that people are going to have to move across the world?

How are we preparing for the fact that global migration is the futurę?

What kinds of global citizenship can we design to meet the challenges of a migratory futurę?

Are we able to anticipate the problems of tomorrow by examining the problems that we have today?

Is that a science or is that a 4 Chan channel?

Can we actually imagine this revolution we are longing for so much?

Are we willing to give up our own privileges to seek the change we need?

How much can one sacrifice for a bigger cause?

Considering all discomforts that we are all experiencing, aren't we actually really comfortable?

Can we observe that we are actually very comfortable and make something morę of it by imagining that some people aren't so comfortable and are still fighting?

Do we need morę discomfort to fight morę fiercely?

Is change possible without discomfort?

Don't we need to go through something really really horrible to be able to make change?

Aren't we somehow going through something very difficult but we don't want to see it?

Aren't we opportunistic?

How much engagement is enough engagement?

Could we observe that being in this comfortable position we should give and learn morę in order to share morę?

Can we be morę generous?

Why does every change we don't agree with have to be framed as something horrible? Why does the language have to be so emotional where we can't talk to each other without such strong words?

Why are people so greedy? Are we being greedy sometimes? Do we—each of us—owe something to other people, be they our families and communities? Do we owe something to the place and people who reared us?

Are we bound together whether we like it or not?

Is sharing really caring?

Does it matter if sharing really caring if at the end of the day everyone has what they need? Does it need to be altruistic?

Why is the Catholic Church supporting the misinterpretation of its holy book, the bibie, like for example, the myth that humans came to the earth to dominate the earth, and therefore humans want to dominate the whole world?

How come nationalism and xenophobia often go hand-in-hand with a lust for hunting?

Has the human species split into two species—one that derives joy from the violence that it inflicts on the world and another that is horrified by it? Have pacifists evolved morę highly than those who wield violence?

Is it a question of natural evolution or of cultural evolution?

So if it is about those two species and it's culture against violence, and if we sign up to the species of pacifists, aren't we going to be eternally defeated by those who use violence?

Is it possible to fight guns with art?

Isn't the nationalist march right-wing art?

Aren't we using a kind of symbolic violence against those who are physically violent?
