A very reasonable request
We need
55% of your home.
Not to worry. You may continue living in the remaining portion. We have historical reasons.
An interactive analogy ↓
Step 02 — The allocation
It’s only
a little
more than half.
We’ve marked your home according to a perfectly calm and official-looking division.
Your home100 m²
055100
Step 03 — Your concerns
We value your
feedback.
Step 04 — Administrative details
To complete the transfer,
please provide your address.
We promise to do absolutely nothing nefarious with it.
Step 05 — A small correction
Actually,
we don’t need
your address.
You wouldn’t give us 55% anyway.
DECLINED

Step 06 — The point
55%
It feels different when
the map is your home.
A political map can make dispossession look abstract. For the people living on the land, it was home.
This experience is an analogy, not a complete history. Read the history. Challenge the analogy. Ask whose consent mattered.
