ENCAMPMENT SU DAY 24: June 6th, Sweden’s national day, a holiday celebrating nationalism and borders that divide and distance human beings from from another. Invisible walls becoming more and more tangible, shutting people out, shutting people off, annihilating empathy for people who do not look like us or have the same ways of living. Differentiating between people and people.
Just like Astrid Söderbergh Widding, the president of Stockholm University does – deeming European white lives worth defending, but not wielding the same power to defend the brown lives being slaughtered in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
This is what nationalism does to humanity. But we refuse to accept that. We refuse to be divided by invisible lines and false ideologies. We stand together, celebrating our differences – united in our shared humanity and commitment to justice for all. 🇵🇸
