Bio
There are certainly many things that I can say about myself, where should I even start? I am from Silesia, and I am Silesian. I am a staunch regionalist, communitarian, and even separatist. I was heavily inspired and impressed by the views and works of Leopold Kohr and E. F. Schumacher, and I agree with these fully. So for me Silesia is Silesian, and not Polish, and I wholeheartedly support any autonomist or separatist struggles here. Apart from Silesian, I also speak Polish, German, English, Dutch and I am learning Spanish. I studied German studies (Germanistyka) in the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, and that is where I learned both German and Dutch. I especially like talking in German, I find it quite an expressive language! I deeply believe that our cultures and languages are our lifeline. The beauty of diversity lies not in a world where everything boils down to individual differences - if everyone would speak the same language, then what would there be really? This would mean that we would have the same thinking patterns, be under the same cultural differences, and intentionally or not, create a dystopian, uniform world. Linguist Peter Trudgill drives the point home:
If not Wikipedia, then I'm really active on Discord these days - feel free to add me, #Foxite7733/foxite. (yes, with the dot included)!
