Today I learned... That it is close to impossible for me to write my thoughts about certain topics I mainly discuss online without US defaultism. I am discussing US pov hammered into my head for years discussing MY experienced because MY experiences online are ultimately coated by US discourse. it cannot be removed from it when I use english as a lingua franca. so how do i uncople that? how do i find what's true for my country when it's ages since i looked up the statistics on it because i always felt like the US is where I need to look - they have the cool things, always ahead, a part of the future?
idk it's why i've been trying to inquire with myself when i hear\read something online these last few years and asked myself: is this my lived experience? while this pov is not wrong, is it my truth too? before I adopt it. because *shocker* it often isn't. others limitations may not be my own, others beliefs may no be my own, others paths may not be the one best for me. doesn't mean they're wrong, it just means we're different and we both wring important pov to the table.
