Good thing we slapped trumped up charges on the climate protestors who did harmless demonstrations at art museums

This passage from the book, Bullshit Jobs, is worth a read.

Musk’s megalomania grows apace. He’s clearly trying to engineer a far-right revolution across the western world. He’s now backed the AfD. Before that Reform. And he’s the dominant figure in Trump world. He’ll clearly get behind Le Pen.

David Graeber: "Anarchism is just the way people act when they are free to do as they choose, and when they deal with others who are equally free — and therefore aware of the responsibility to others that entails."

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming for us today.

Perpetrators were in fact people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. This became part of their everyday lives and their environment.

They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They had their family joys and problems, their favorite desserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people like us. But they also perpetrated horrible things, monstrous things on behalf of the ideology they believed in. Dehumanization of all "others" was a tool that helped them achieve their goal.

The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history. We cannot dehumanize them, as their story and choices are our human warning.

L’esclavage a été aboli il y a 176 ans. Pourtant, la France compte encore 130 000 personnes victimes de travail forcé, d’après l’OIT.

That’s bilingualism, for most part. My native language was Tatar. When I started interacting with other kids, I picked Russian. Two languages, two totally different sets of categories for describing reality. Conclusion: our categories are not grounded in reality, but are purely conventional.
