This piece could best be explained by a series of questions that many of us have asked ourselves in this period of sickness and unrest. Who gets to live? Who gets to work? Who gets to rest? Who wins? Who comes first? Who is watched? Who is protected? Who is paid attention? Who owns the land? What is owed? To who?”

Claim is is an accumulation of years of thoughts, experiences, and studies about these questions on a global-historical level – also been hugely shaped by the events of the past year in the United States, Belarus, Lebanon, Armenia/Azerbaijan, and the world at large.
