In the current times revealing oneself by practicing a transparent authenticity online is a must to be recognised as a peer, as a reliable person.
Revealing yourself from where I come from is letting one be vulnerable, weaken by information, but nowadays information and the active sharing of it, means to exist, it is an auto definition of what you would like to be, a certain aspirational move.
But can you really share everything you think, can you allow yourself to be critical, open and bold about certain topics? The answer relies in context, in the sociopolitical to be more exact.
The globality of ideas contrast with the different reactions and consequences you would have to face depending on where you live: political and societal vindications can mean you will be trolled in internet or you will end up dead.
If everything is about content production and information sharing, power is exercised by controlling the content and monopolizing information channels. Dissident voices are perceived by power structures and its representatives as uncontrolled variables that disturb order, such voices are considered in many cases military targets.
The power of nations and their big military parades are a reminder that coercion can always come as an unexpected private intrusion at your home but haven’t you let the door open?
In any case don't say the name!
Abelardo, that is the name!
Lyrics:
Can’t remember the fella
That came that day
Can’t remember the fella
That killed the faith
Don’t wanna say his name
Suddenly the police came in
Asking for information of the location of my beloved
Don’t wanna say his name
Alteration is just, just a peak of time!
Don’t wanna say his name
