He really didn’t understand why we didn’t want to apply for subsidies, while we have the right to do so. “I don’t want a government label on our website or want to be linked in any way to a government” I stated. Freedom seems to have a price. It is linked to ‘losing money’ or ‘being able to do less’.
For us it is the contrary. We don’t need money to do what we do or to be who we are. When we don’t receive donations, we still contribute our time, effort and enthusiasm. When we do receive donations, we are able to do things where money is involved. We are learning more and more not to depend on external factors.
That is true freedom. A liberation from many fucked up structures that keep us small.
We keep going, just because we keep going. No matter what. The outcome might look different, depending on available resources, but it never determines who we are.
