Honestly, i suspect this is just because they tend to lean left, and therefore tend to have a harder time ignoring abject reality, on account of the left not constantly trying to elect the formor grand duke of the Ku Klux Clan to state congress every two years.

And also because it hurts them more as a minority?
It is staggering for me to see that many people in the United States doesn't even know what being 'American' in a sense of patriotism means. I mean not in a sense of collective identity in a territory, but in the sense of what it means in terms of politics. It is, in the end, the side that matters: Banana Republics, Israel, Plan Condor, etc.
So if you are American, it is important to me that you understand that, like any person living under a state, you should be always aware about politics. It is the way we decide, it is the thing that gives money its value and the sphere were the question 'violence to who' is chosen. I pretty much became an anarchist because I studied the history of Chile, I lived in Venezuela when Hugo Chavez won the elections and like many others escaped from the hunger that came as consequence both of the historical problem with agriculture in the region and the economical block from USA.
I want you to understand and support the guys that today are working towards a better world for EVERYONE. The reason why I think Solarpunks got their heart in the right place when people dream about these societies of justice, harmony, creativity and vigorous love for the well-being of humanity and everything it depends to exist. So keep up the good work you guys who already are taking the step to influence culture, the ideas that cause political action, that mobilize people to work toward this obviously better direction of the future against doomerism, and Hobbesian views of the "natural order of things". Our lives may depend on it, both from Latinos and the rest of the world.
