Over 50,000 demonstrations across the US yesterday. Let that sink in.

β€œThe four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Meetings raised their voices timidly, but they were promptly silenced by a tremendous growling from the dogs. Then, as usual, the sheep broke into "Four legs good, two legs bad!" and the momentary awkwardness was smoothed over.” GO

Umm, apart from equating Hamas to Russia you mean? In the author’s analogy, it would be more like the US saying to Palestine they should accept that they have lost their land, and it’s their resistance that is prolonging the war. Oh wait…

Not that I’ve heard apart from the pro-Palestine student groups.

Hearken now to this, you heads of the house of Jacob and you rulers of the house of Israel, who condemn justice and pervert all that is straight.
Each one builds Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice…saying, "Is not the Lord in our midst? No evil shall befall us."

This wasn’t meant to be a policy statement for a contemporary government.

So the flag that symbolises inclusion and safety is banned, and the flags that symbolise racism, hatred and violence are okay? Because, you know, we need to educate our children about history. In what world has a history lesson required the flying of a flag? This is asinine.

Yup. Not even subtly. Like, every day is a new totalitarian incursion.

Instead of rewarding whiteness seems to me the problem.

It’s a privilege to not be outraged. It means the chaos and changes are not materially impacting you. I’m a Christian, cis, hetero, white, educated, able-bodied, man. As such, I am the most privileged class. As such, I need to work hard to understand how what is happening is impacting others.
