    Yeah I can’t imagine it and it’s an ideological block that makes me unable to really get it.

    As an immigrant i share your feelings on this, but at the same time i know that most people don’t feel as alienated from their land as we do. And we have to acknowledge that we are an aberration as far as this is concerned, and that most people do feel a very strong connection to their land.

    Understanding this is not really about any ideological block, it’s about being able to put yourself in the shoes of another person and imagine how they think and feel based on their own personal and generational lived experiences. It’s a form of empathy I suppose.
