This piece was so needed for me. Andres' feelings could be easily my own. I'm from Argentina and our history is rooted in our vans and blood, in our struggles, still kicking us in the present.
Bad Religion put into words a universal feeling of unity, social power and critical thinking that give us the power to keep going against all odds. To keep fighting for what we believe in. For the freedom and wellbeing of all the societies oppressed by economic power and violence.
In world that seems always be going to shit, knowing that we have a safe space where we can see each other in the eye and recognise the humanity in us, hug and scream our souls out for justice and social peace, is a blessing.
Thanks you Jim for letting Andres tell his story. And thank you Andres for choosing to come back home and reconnect with your story. From an argentinian living far away from home, you (both) have a sister here. ✊🏾
De nada and thank you! The connections we make with each other are all we have. On my first day here a new friend said, "Punk always unites and is universal" and it's so true.
Amiga, gracias por tus palabras de apoyo, es cierto que en cualquier parte del mundo que uno vaya (va?...pinche subjuntivo jaja) siempre encontraras gente que sabe como leer entre las mentiras de la historia oficial. More often than not, Bad Religion fans are these kinds of people. Un abrazo desde este lado de la cordillera!
