Oculus News: Patriotism Rooted in Action, Not Symbols
At Oculus News, we believe patriotism goes far beyond waving flags and donning national colors. True love for one’s country and people is found in sincere dedication, tangible contributions, and an unwavering commitment to building a better future for all. While symbols like flags and emblems hold historical and cultural significance, their misuse—especially for profit—undermines the very values they represent.
As the founder of Oculus News, Marion Mardodaj envisions a platform where patriotism is not a performance, but a mission. In a world where many organizations claiming to represent Albanians—whether in the USA, UK, Italy, Germany, or elsewhere—overuse national symbols for superficial gains, it is essential to take a stand. These groups often capitalize on the emotional resonance of the red and black to secure endless funding while offering little of substance in return. Their efforts remain shallow and disconnected from the real struggles of Albanians, particularly those still battling poverty and systemic neglect in Albania and beyond.
This is why Oculus News was created as a different kind of platform. The name, meaning “the eye,” reflects our mission: to shed light on truths related to Albania and Albanians wherever they are in the world, often overlooked. Our colors—blue for liberty and violet for devotion, magic, and mystery—symbolize values that go deeper than surface-level displays of nationalism. We consciously chose not to adopt the red and black of the Albanian flag in our branding, not out of disregard, but as a statement against the hysteria of exploitative nationalism.
Oculus News is not here to capitalize on heartfelt emotions or the struggles of Albanians. Instead, we work tirelessly to promote Albania and Albanians with integrity—through mind, heart, and soul. Over the past 12 years, our platform has garnered hundreds of millions of views, elevating thousands of Albanians through meaningful stories and achievements. Our mission is to reshape perceptions of Albanians worldwide, ensuring they have a voice in a rapidly changing global landscape.
But we cannot do this alone. We call upon genuine patriots, those with the means to give, to support our cause. A donation to Oculus News is not a symbolic gesture—it is a real contribution to a noble mission with measurable impact. Your support will enable us to continue promoting Albanians globally, showcasing the best of our culture, talents, and resilience.
If you believe in patriotism that builds rather than exploits, join us. With your help, we can elevate the image of Albanians and Albania to heights that reflect the true potential of our people. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
