Taal als politiek wapen

De Nederlandse taal ontstond een aantal eeuwen geleden en werd effectief gebruikt om iedereen in de Nederlanden verstaanbaar te maken. Wat echter over het hoofd wordt gezien, is dat de Nederlandse taal geen bindmiddel voor verschillende dialectgroepen hoeft te zijn. Door de invoering van de nieuwe taal wordt de definitie van de burger veranderd. Wat de Nederlander van de Duitser onderscheidt, is de taal. Een man uit Kleve is nu Duitstalig, terwijl een persoon uit Nijmegen nu Nederlandstalig is. Het is een machtig wapen om de uitdrukking van inheemse volkeren te onderdrukken. Wanneer iedereen Nederlands spreekt, is er in feite geen communicatieve barrière meer tussen verschillende delen van het land. Daardoor wordt binnenlandse migratie makkelijker, maar ook migratie van buitenaf. Een Fransman kan overal in Nederland naartoe en hoeft maar één taal daarvoor te leren: het Nederlands. Het onderscheid tussen een Nedersaksisch-sprekende Sallander en een Hollands-sprekende Amsterdammer is verminderd tot slechts ‘culturele uitdrukkingen’. 

De verengelsing van de wereld is de grootste uitdrukking van taal als politiek wapen. Het dient als middel om de wereld steeds kleiner te maken, waardoor eventueel schaalvergroting in de economie, cultuur en politiek mogelijk wordt.

 The break-down of the self.

Acts come forth from emotions. If you are feeling anxious, your social interactions won’t go that smooth. These emotions originate from thoughts, such as that one should not interact, because it would lead to rejection. These thoughts originate from self-convictions, such as “I am not worthy”, “I am unattractive”, “If I open up, everyone will reject me”. These self-convictions are strengthened by reference experiences, mainly trauma. You might have been very talkative but someone said you should shut up when you were seven years old. You might have interacted with members of the opposite sex, but after a few rejections you develop convictions such as you not being attractive or being creepy.

The true self just is. However, its expression is different. Someone can be perfectly confident and that person will thrive and prosper, but take the same self and attach traumas to it, and this person will descend into chaos. At one point, you might believe things about yourself which might seem true on surface level, but which are not innately YOU. I personally considered myself a loner, an isolated man who does not need social interactions. After digging into myself, I found out that I became numb because of thick layers of trauma. This anekdote (although one can accuse me of bringing fallacious arguments) proves to me that people are good at deceiving themselves, to the point that they believe they are human trash. 

Once you realize that lying beneath all these deceptions is the unchanged true self, you can start healing yourself. Allow the trauma to come up, feel it, and ultimately process it. Put down all your negative thoughts on paper and write down exactly what you think and how realistic this thought is. More often than not these thoughts are deceiving you. Understand that you are not your thoughts. It is an instrument, but it is not YOU, as Eckhart Tolle would say it. I used to think that I am fat for decades. When I started digging, I found that some people called me fat when I was younger, and this turned into a negative self-conviction. The crazy thing is: at one point you are so identified with this negative self-conviction that you enjoy it. Realize that broken people actually enjoy being broke. 

When someone is so attached to negative self-convictions, negative self-talking, emotions that make you feel like shit, poor behavior, and suppressing trauma, they ultimately need to realize that the true self is nothing of this, and it is still there, as it has always been. Realize that and you can start by healing yourself. Identify with that true self, and start rebuilding yourself from there. That is the way to become the confident, strong, independent, courageous and upstanding man or woman you always wanted to be, but could not become.
