I'll be reposting this regularly because we all need to feel its message deep in our bones:
Apartheid was "Legal"
Slavery was "Legal"
Colonialism was "Legal"
LEGALITY IS A CONSTRUCT
of the Powerful
not of Justice

Colonialism is alive and well at #COP29 "With #Indigenous Peoplesβ lands often targeted for these carbon-offset projects, many worry that carbon markets could lead to further rights violations and land grabs under the guise of #climate solutions." Eight cute baby burrowing owls being released back into their burrow. This is after they have been banded, weighed, and given a coating of flea killing/repelling dust. *All wildlife handled with the proper training and the appropriate state/federal permits* C: mattpoolephoto on IG #Stonehenge - A day after the #JustStopOil protest, the orange powder has already been removed, leaving βno visible damage,β according to the organization that manages the site. Meanwhileβ¦ βNo CEO of water companies who has pumped human shit into England's rivers has been arrested or faces jail time like the JustStopOil activists will for splashing harmless cornstarch on Stonehenge. You are being played by the 1%.β - John Smith (son of #HarryLeslieSmith )  Hear hear. I would personally tear down every sacred site, church, synagogue, mosque and temple if it meant we had some chance of surviving the climate catastrophe.  @dbattistella The level of ingenuity from protesters is amazing! During US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's testimony before the House Committee on Appropriations, a protester used sign language to denounce him as a butcher committing genocide in Gaza. Despite the risk of being removed by security, she managed to convey her message letter by letter for over 2 hours. #AntonyBlinken #Protests #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide #WarCrimes #Israel #USA What real posters of companies and corporations that are supporting Israel's genocide, should look like. #Israel #FreePalestine #Zara #EsteeLauder #CAT #IgorDobrowolski  @dbattistella you forgot soil that is already 28% - 60% plastic (depending on your continent) that will within 30 years become incapable of supporting crops. but the 250,000 plastic nano particles in every bottle of water will probably kill you first.  @dbattistella Dude, it wasnβt capitalism. #Capitalism didnβt promise to create a new capitalist man. I would suspect more Jeremy #Bentham and his persuasion that one individual, or two, or many, or couple of millions could be sacrificed for making others happy. Class and racial warfare and two world wars (plus one cold one) are the happy result. |
@dbattistella It's important to remember these concepts are man-made, and as such, they can be man-unmade.
