Aunque boricua-como-nación es un concepto que nunca morirá y que exista más allá de la isla, boricua-como-estado (dígase, país), es algo que me interesa mucho menos que liberar la isla de Borikén de el abuso territorial del imperio gringo.

La matiz aquí es que no quiero atar mi deseo de liberar mi hogar a el concepto del "Estado" (en términos de país, no estado-de-EEUU). No sólo viven boricuas en Borikén, y no creo que deberíamos crear un ambiente en que eso se esperaría--eso es sólo un microcosmo del racismo europeo.

Un Borikén libre es un Borikén sin soberanía en absoluto.

No a la soberanía gringa, no a la soberanía de políticos corruptos.

Podemos crear un mundo mejor, y lo podemos crear ya.

In English, in my own words, so folks don't need machine translation:

Although boricua-as-nation is a concept that will never die and that exists beyond the island, boricua-as-state (that is, country), is something that interests me much less than to liberate the island of Borikén from the territorial abuses of the gringo empire.

The nuance is that I don't want to tie my desire for the liberation of my home to the concept of a State (e.g. country, not US state). It's not only boricuas living in Borikén, and I don't think we should create an environment where that is expected--that would just be a repeat of European racism.

A free Borikén is a Borikén without sovereignty, in an absolute sense.

No to gringo sovereignty, no to a sovereignty of corrupt politicians.

We can create a better world, and we can create it now.

Maybe kinda random, but I've kinda wanted to resolve some conflicting feelings I had about The Situation and I found something that I'm happy with and felt like it was important to just put it out there and be clear where I stand.

Because the tl;dr is I don't actually align with ANY major PR party
