solidarity movement

Description

A solidarity movement is a grand performance of collective empathy that incorporates others’ suffering into one’s own narrative. Slogans are raised with fervor while actual burdens are deftly dispersed. It basks in applause on social media, yet offline simply repeats ’we’ll consider it’ in loud voices. It is a peculiar social experiment that smoothly bridges the gap between ideals and actions.

Definitions

• A ritual mass-production of promissory notes sealed only by slogans of camaraderie.
• A collective device that proclaims ‘we fight together’ while shielding itself with dispersed responsibility.
• A festival that waves the banner of love to gather endless applause in an infinite loop.
• A social oddity that loudly speaks others’ pain into its own drama yet clutches spare change in its pocket.
• A tightrope act that hoists a sign for aid to the weak but tosses actual burden to the sidelines.
• A defense system that showers empathy while deflecting arrows of criticism at others.
• An ornate stage where solidarity of words is fervent, but solidarity of action always ends with ‘we’ll consider it.’
• A performance art of social justice where the audience is content to flash their ticket of #like.
• The technique of pretending to rush to crisis scenes while simply delegating the phone hotline to locals.
• A marvelous mechanism where unity is sworn one day and individual truths ascend to justice the next.
