Solidarity requires empathy.
Solidarity in social action requires our best efforts of understanding vulnerability.
Solidarity in political action requires knowledge, rather than belief and effort through daily engagement and involvement.
Solidarity requires we examine what we have internalised of the culture that divides us in order to de-colonise our minds so that we can meet with minimal bias each others needs.
Solidarity requires we make an effort to understand that poverty is a weapon.
Solidarity requires we understand that our comfort must never come at a cost to others.
Solidarity requires we humanise ourselves, it requires that we confront every effort at dehumanising others.
Solidarity requires we self-care and work to reduce our rage to redirect our anger about the needless suffering towards active prevention and repair, and it requires we eschew lateral violence. Stop lashing out at each other in frustration...
Solidarity requires we confront Racism, Misogyny, Xenophobia, Ableism as curated, taught hatreds and we must understand that every form of bigotry that is weaponised to maintain the status quo of the Hierarchy of Wealth. Bigotry is unknown in all infants.
Solidarity requires that we get politically active, well beyond merely voting for choices others have made for us. We must learn the skills of shared deliberation and decision making, shared effort to implement and shared accountability.
Without solidarity across the grass roots, the Mad Bull of Hierarchy will continue to eat us, it will shit on us and we will not be able to turn that shit to compost for future nurturing of our grass roots into healthy landscapes.
