'Belief in freedom is a key component of White supremacy'

"The primarily White supporters of the Freedom Convoy argue that pandemic mandates infringe upon their constitutional rights to freedom. The notion of “freedom” was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness, as historian Tyler Stovall has argued. The belief [in] one’s entitlement to freedom is a key component of White supremacy. This explains why the Freedom Convoy members see themselves as entitled to freedom, no matter the public health consequences to those around them."
Taylor Dysart, a candidate for a PhD in the History of Science, in the Washington Post on 11 February.

Everything seems to be in alignment. The world on the news is a dystopia. Here in Romania civilised life carries on.
