True. I'm surrounded by them in fact. Have been most of my life.
I'm one of the multilingual cosmopolitans, but I know for a fact that
putting all the radical cosmopolitans won't get us anywhere
politically, though we make a party colorful. :-> We have to figure
out a way to make an alliance with people who are doing the right
thing though they don't think like us at all and say racist, sexist,
homophobic things and to win them over to our thinking.
