War and Peas 🧿

Today marks the ninth anniversary of the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

It was a shock for us at the time and we suddenly realized that even humorists - people who put their finger in the wound and use humor to draw attention to the issues that concern them - are now under attack.

Not everything can be said and not everything can be drawn. Not because it means bad publicity or the loss of followers, but because it puts your life at risk.

This was an attack on artists and anyone who tells jokes. It was an attack on the free world and everyone who wants to live in it. We will not forget this and we ask you all not to either.

@warandpeas 9th anniversary... so it was a surprise that there was an attack after the attack in 2011 and the riots in 2012. interesting. even more that now it's an attack on press and artists and alike. yea, yea. they hate us for our freedom 😂 totally unexpected after we bombed their hospitals and weddings and killed journalists for over a decade. hearts and minds 🤡 and no one gave a flying fuck. yea, yea. so sad what happened at charlie. but not more sad than what happened to tens of thousands innocents in iraq and afghanistan for which *we* are responsible. double standards for the win.

@warandpeas not forgetting is not enough to prevent it from happening again. We need action for that.

@ryancoordinator True! We – as artists – have to make sure to never let them into our minds. Never must we not tell a joke because of them. Besides that we have to make sure to elect politicians who share our worldview to never surrender to fundamentalists.

@warandpeas I'm sure the correct line is rather harder than that! Closer to "we do not negotiate with terrorists, we execute them"

@warandpeas I understand the expression angle, but that reads as though it was an unknown. Retribution for those comics was not an unknown... far from it. Feigning ignorance doesn't help anything.

@FlyVapen_Pikk Not sure if I got your point. We also can't open the article unfortunately.

@warandpeas If I explained it in any more detail... it would be labeled as "mansplaining."

I just re-read it, it's not difficult to comprehend. Please re-read it, without blinders this time.

@FlyVapen_Pikk Sorry, I don't get it. I asked to explain so how could that be mansplaining? I simply don't get your point of view here. Sorry!

ALL of that... was ignorant.

Also, this article has no pay wall.
