Something to look into, think about and take seriously. What does the above mean to you?
here's a little help for those that haven't heard of hegemony.
"Cultural hegemony is the philosophic and sociological theory, by the Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci, that a culturally diverse society can be dominated (ruled) by one social class, by manipulating the societal culture (beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values) so that its ruling-class worldview is imposed as the societal norm, which then is perceived as a universally valid ideology and status quo beneficial to all of society, whilst benefiting only the ruling class."
I was not familiar with the term. Explains a lot.
So how many of you actually thought about this?
Seriously how many of you feel this is true and not a theory? Re-read my thread above.
scary thought i know. Happy New Year!
I live in a building where my neighbors are treated like dogs. They live in fear of loosing where they have lived 20 plus years. A beautiful lady died days ago with bed bugs eating her alive.(What a way to remember your bed room) Having heat is a blessing from God almighty. My building is collapsing and any minute we may all die.
Every building around us looks beautiful, we stand out like black on white, Thinking that's what the world think of our life!
Im the only one willing to fight! I have made every enity in NY aware of our circumstances for 5 years non stop. and I will continue to.
My neighbors repair there own apartments of fear of annoying the landlord and him casting them to the street. He disappears for months and appears for the rent because they don't know where he lives. A family i seen grow up here was kicked out by him a few months ago. He looks me in the eyes and says god bless your children, you shouldn't live in the cold i go to church i understand" but then hides the heat controls in a mexicans apartment telling them " Don't tell anyone or else" putting a decoy system in the hallway. 311, HPD, city officials how long will you force your own people to live worst then Animals owned by the famous! We have lived here for 20+ years but never owned a lease!
