jurisprudence (maybe)

my last post was about famine

this post is still about famine

don’t stop talking about the famine

no justice for famishing the irish

there will be no justice here either

support international law NOW

support humanitarian aid workers NOW

They called it a famine in Ireland too.

If I had more characters, I’d add “and what do we, as carers of truth, do about this?”

This is just my conjecture. But I think that in most circumstances, being smacked by objectivity and frameworks of thinking drives anti-intellectualism. At least, I think we are where we are now because humans know objectivity isn’t the whole answer and things like Nazism was a framework of thinking

Viewing your comfort as your own responsibility is not writing off half the planet. It’s actually defending your autonomy.

Do you know about Eritrea? Do you describe two continents and 35 countries as simply “America”?

You probably write many whole groups of humans off daily.

it was already clear that the youth has turned green, but that trajectory has certainly be solidified now

Restorative Justice (RJ) is a way to address harm by asking two key questions: What happened? What needs to be made right? RJ focuses on the experiences and needs of those affected by understanding each person's perspective. We explore this in Section 12 of our Practice Guide: buff.ly/Fb3rhKp

Helen Wilson, from Wales is being called a 'hero' for livestreaming Kneecap's entire set at Glastonbury. Kneecap responded to her with free concert tickets

Helen told Metro UK & The Journal, it was the right thing to do in the name of 'free speech'✊

what you’ll prefer likely depends on the answer to this question:

is your priority (a) linguistic precision about causation or (b) pragmatic effectiveness in dialogue?

(a) = toxic masculinity
(b) = masculine toxicity

so not sure where i am

but bet ima try using (b) with defensive people

this sent me down a rabbit hole bc it’s just different nouns…

i really do think this shift would reduce defensive reactions from men who feel like masculinity itself is being attacked, but then that has to be balanced with how the shift would shift us away from what we’ve built

so interesting dude

Nietzsche: “If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.”

“but why is your theory even important? philosophy sucks”

DARVO behaviour just needs ignored nowadays, especially when it’s anti-intellectual to boot

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied
