Being right is a moral victory. Being in power is a structural one. You can point out the Emperor has no clothes, but as long as he still owns the wardrobe, the palace, and the guards, your "truth" is just noise. The Emperor remains an Emperor; the fool remains a fool.
This isn't a reason to stay quiet; it's a reminder to stop expecting the "Gotcha" to do the heavy lifting. If the system stays intact despite the truth, stop just shouting at the man and start dismantling the machinery that keeps him there. Knowledge isn't powerโaction is.
@BigBillMoon I spent a long time on the circuit back in the day. Stephen K Amos was known as โThieven K Amosโ ๐ for pilfering material from other comics.
Disgusting. Gross. Unforgivable.
People are right to be furious - I just wish we had this same energy for the everyday cruelty animals face across the planet when theyโre treated like products instead of living beings
My heart breaks.
A Palestinian wedding in Hebron, West Bank, has sparked outrage after a camel was abused by wedding guests.
The men were filmed forcing the camel to drink energy drinks and dancing on its back.
BREAKING
The Israeli police have made 4 arrests of these Palestinians (including the groom) who abused this camel in Hebron.
We saw videos earlier in the week of them forcing it to drink energy drinks
Well done Israel.
Could there be an ID requirement. To claim benefits you have to have ID anyway. So when you get your โfood cardโ it has your name and details on it. When you present it to the shop - you have to also present another ID. They all have to match. There would still of course be ways around it. But this makes it more challenging.
Dear Muslims,
As Hanukkah is just 26 days away (and Christmas is only 47 days away),
Please avoid suicide attacks among those who are gathered for ceremonies.
Please avoid detonating in their presence.
Do not deliberately drive vehicles into celebration gatherings, markets, or other holiday cheer.
Jews and Gentiles will be celebrating from dawn until sunset. A little consideration and respect go a long way. โค๏ธ
@benonwine But the majority of you posting are likely to be beef eaters. You do know that there is no difference between the cows you eat and this one (even if itโs AI!) All cows have feelings.
