let's up the ante!

Orwell I think could not truly feel solidarity until he fought in Catalunya - he’s always the observer, sometimes of himself, but he writes as though being colonised or impoverished degrades a person. When he gets to Barcelona and people tell him it is insulting to try and tip them I think he gets to understand we are the same people, being free where we can, when pride is possible. “Human beings … trying to behave as human beings”. And that here he could have it too, be welcomed and trusted or distrusted as people personally interacted with him as equals. That his scepticism and inability to love dogma did not matter when he was part of an army you could leave whenever you wanted and might die for from bad luck rather than sacrifice and glory. People wanted to live. They wanted to get to live in the world they were fighting for.
