neoliberalism aims, amongst many things, to erase history, erase the people's struggles and victories in order to make it seem like there is no collective struggle, no union or community, there is only the individual, isolated.
it really has felt like people have forgotten our history these past few months - the gravity of the national government's policies are met with resignation and indifference, as if suffering was deserved. as if the argentinian people had not lived through, resisted to and fought back against state terrorism, as if the argentinian people had not overthrown governments and built themselves back up again and again (and will continue to do so)
this is why instances like this are sooo life giving, because that memory is still there buried deep within. maybe people do care. sometimes. maybe.
it also shows that you're not alone and you are able to FEEL collectively and it's so powerful. sometimes hollering the national anthem with thousands of people united against public education budget cuts IS healing <3
