American citizen, national identity, the leftists and far-right divide

In May of 2020, the streets across North America and Europe erupted with protests condoning police brutality and embedded racism at the societal core. Triggered by death of George Floyd inflicted by law enforcement during an arrest undertaken in Minneapolis on the grounds of a suspected counterfeit bill distribution and continuously reignited by the casualties that followed within the Black American population and across other communities, resulting in not only a societally complex situation, but considerable reciprocal radicalisation. Along with the peaceful protests, solidarity, and creative flares America seen the efforts of the leftists and the far-right to propel their agendas with vandalism, particular to the shared grievances speeches, and violence.

Homogeneous societies, racism, and ethnic discrimination in Europe

Racism and ethnic discrimination in Europe – phenomenon of unlikely novelty. However, it is proven more and more dissected in the contemporary world. Whether it is a racist simplification to blood and soil, and the racial common sense of the Nazi Germany or the looming ethnocentric worldview in its historic colonial and contemporary polarisation terms; the notions are no longer mostly experienced, they are now mostly investigated and examined. While mindful of the Francis Galton’s eugenics thinking of the 1883, can not be neglected the long history of ethnic clashes and contestations between the nations where race and its cultural belonging experience little thought of separation.

Heterogeneous ideal and the racism of Canada and the United States

Racism and its existence are an unlikely novelty in the contemporary worldview. From colonial conquests to ethnic discriminations, and the paradoxical post European-Western Enlightenment racial experimentation; the way we perceive and interpret racism on all levels of society is ever-changing. Change is accelerated by the technological advancements and enabled by the social connectivity of the Internet and the tools designed for the social globalised society. Accelerated if not from the scope of per individual equity, then from the scope of connectivity established over some hundred or two hundred years that today separate from the overall socially disconnected and abrupt societies.
