About The Largest Minority
An innovative and progressive news blog
Due to the tragic results of an American foreign policy driven by economic interests, a new reality has been shaped for Americans in the new millennium. For the first time in generations, we are experiencing a set of truths which had all but faded through years of isolation and global dominance. We have come to the realization that America does not exist in a bubble, and that its politics are world politics. To simply analyze domestic issues without considering their global affect, as many blogs and news organizations do, is to promote an outdated, naïve, and myopic view of our global reality.
We encourage our readers to identify themselves within this global context rather than an outdated and shielded nationalistic view which has stifled progress at home and abroad. In this light, The Largest Minority is about relationships: domestic and international, capitalistic and democratic, political and environmental, secure and free, individual and societal, etc.
We support global resistance over domestic obedience, and transformative revolution over toothless reform. We believe that the importance of upholding human rights and the protection of the environment supersedes politics and economics. A more unified and confrontational approach needs to be adopted. And lastly, we believe in the advancement of the arts as not only a channel for communication, but as the adhesive which binds humanity.
As our current governing system is a machine reliant upon the exploitation and fear of its parts, it will eventually destroy itself. Therefore, we don’t find it as necessary to cause its downfall, as much as we find it necessary to contribute to the rise of its successor. An educated populace has always been the greatest opposition to unchallenged despotism, and in that regard, we strive to distribute power through the dispersion of information.
“Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.”
- Saint Augustine
