BOLD (US) + CONTENTION (US) + CLIQUE (US) + FEAR THE LORD + NO WAY
Bibelot, Saturday, July 4 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
Straight edge hardcore legendes BOLD komen samen met nieuwe garde bands CONTENTION en CLIQUE. BOLD was eind jaren '80 in New York samen met bands zoals Youth of Today en Side by Side verantwoordelijk voor de youth crew beweging: energieke melodieuze hardcore punk vol idealistische thema's (vaak straight edge en vegetarisch). De band kreeg een legendarische status (mede doordat leden verder ging in bands zoals Shelter, Quicksand en Into Another) en midden 2000s kwam de band af en toe weer bij elkaar en speelt heel af en toe shows.

A quotation from Richard Steele
It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor. This makes him earnest upon Trifles; and dispute on the most indifferent Occasions with vehemence.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1709-07-14), The Tatler, No. 29More about this quote: wist.info/steele-richard/21787…

..there's an old technique which the #government (mine yours theirs) seem to be using on us all.. it's called dividing the #herd ..they have got us believing that small differences are now large points of #contention ..watch what they do to us next..and realize that we all fell for it..

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
The advice of a father to his son “Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, bear it that the opposed may beware of thee,” is good, and yet not the best. Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1863-10-26) to J. M. CuttsMore about this quote: wist.info/lincoln-abraham/2191…

“We also have considered his contention that he is entitled to categorical #immunity from #criminalliability for any assertedly ‘#official’ #action that he took as #President—a #contention that is #unsupported by #precedent, #history or the #text and #structure of the #USConstitution.

La contention, une «culture de la domination» en psychiatrie
Le psychiatre Mathieu Bellahsen dénonce, dans le livre «Abolir la #contention»," "la banalisation de cette pratique en #psychiatrie, présentée comme un soin, alors qu’elle consiste à attacher les patients. À ses yeux, elle relève d’une «culture de l’entrave», un penchant naturel de la psychiatrie, qui exige des contre-pouvoirs.

• #BLOG • 💬 Contention, isolement, irresponsabilité: «Roi du silence» et «1-2-3 Soleil»
La psychiatrie avance dans le clair obscur de la société. Deux éléments d’actualité la concernent. Ils touchent la loi commune et les droits de toutes les citoyennes et de tous les citoyens: l’#isolement et la #contention ainsi que l’irresponsabilité... pénale. Une fois de plus, ils sont mis au ban par celles et ceux qui nous gouvernent.
