Ayaan Hirsi Ali - The Market for Victimhood

Question:

Hi, thank you for sharing the story of your upbringing. I have not lived in the places that you have

lived but I know that today we are standing on the Arapaho indigenous land and that unresolved

conflict is the reason why you see so many white faces here today.

 

At the end, you said that people deserve to be able to push towards their own liberation. I am

wondering if you could give a concrete example of how a group can do that, towards emancipation

without evoking, as you say, victimisation.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali - Tržište mentaliteta žrtve

Pitanje:

Zdravo, hvala što ste sa nama podijelili priču o vašem odrastanju. Ja nisam živila u mjestima u kojima ste Vi živjeli, ali znam da danas stojimo na autohtonoj zemlji Arapaho i da je taj nerješeni sukob razlog zašto danas ovdje vidimo toliko bijelih lica.

Na kraju ste rekli da ljudi zaslužuju mogućnost da se zalažu za svoje oslobođenje. Zanima me da li biste mogli dati konkretan primjer kako neka grupa to može učiniti, sa ciljem emancipacije a da ne izazove, kako Vi kažete, viktimizaciju.

Odgovor:

Hvala Vam za to pitanje.

The Rise of Independent Individuals

AUthor: Chris Rossini

 

During the unfortunate times when collectivist ideas dominate, it means that, for most people, their unique individuality has been drilled out of their belief and value system.

 

For those who lust after power, job number one is to strip the people that you want to rule over of their belief in themselves. One cannot rule over a people that recognize and guard their natural individuality.

Pojava i uspon nezavisnih pojedinaca

Autor: Chris Rossini

 

Tokom nesretnih vremena kada dominiraju kolektivističke ideje, jedinstvena individualnost je kod većine ljudi isprana od njihovih uvjerenja i sistema vrijednosti.

 

Za one koji žude za moći, zadatak broj jedan je oduzimanje uvjerenja u sebe ljudima kojima žele da vladaju. Ne može se vladati nad ljudima koji prepoznaju i čuvaju svoju prirodnu individualnost.
