i love how this meme just casually introduces the ancient Indian Advaita Vedanta philosophy that the ultimate reality (Brahman) is singular and undifferentiated, the individual soul (Atman) is not separate from Brahman and thus, all beings are connected at the deepest level.

Our words should support the self-determination of people rather than the imperial ambition of their neighbors It's time we retire "Mainland" China and "Chinese Taipei," just as we did with "Kiev" and "The Ukraine" Ukraine & Taiwan are independent countries https://read.pourteaux.xyz/p/the-geopolitics-of-language
