The key to what? I don't believe in this concept as it's used to justify the immoral forces in American, namely how autocratic whites violently repressing minorities like LBGTQI+ on the left are equivocated. There is no moral balance in democracy between those repressed for the expression of their natural unalienable rights and those doing the repression or ordering out the police forces like at Stonewall to do the repression. That repression is a need to "return to normal," which for those at Stonewall meant a return to the silence of the closet. That balance cannot and never should be returned, and a new balance or 'new normal' should not be achieved since we see the same police and violent forces of the white conservative right still out in full and ready to repress, either with police on campus or in the media shouting down "CRT" and "DEI" until that shouting turns into laws in Florida, like the Anti-AP Black history law or the Anti-Just Say Gay law. Those forces never seek your normalcy and balance, but only their own definition of it.
Thus, I don't want to belong; I want aspire and create under my own definitions using my own unalienable rights. When people respect the expression of each other's rights without interfering in them and prohibit the expression of them using such laws and chanting such phrases like in Charlottesville in 2017 then I can say we may have achieve something. That will most like not happen. After the Charlottesville Aryan riot Trump expressed a new balance: There are good people on both sides. No, no there aren't, American said, rejecting that "balance."
Excellent piece that inspires deep reflection on this interesting work you reviewed. Thanks for provoking discussion.
