  3. "In May 1818, #MordecaiManuelNoah, a prominent #Jew of his time and a member of the #Madison administration, delivered a discourse on #Jewish #history on the occasion of a #synagogue consecration. One man read #Noah’s words with interest, and took pen to paper to say so.

    “Your sect by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal spirit of #religious #intolerance,” the correspondent noted, in elegant cursive. “Our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religious, as they do our civil, rights by putting them all on equal footing. But more remains to be done, for although we are free by the law, we are not so in practice.”

    The letter’s author was #ThomasJefferson. 200 years later, there’s still work to do.

    The Jefferson letter is one of 75 objects on view at All We Have Standing Between Us: 250 Years of Jews and #American #Democracy, the American Jewish #Historical Society’s new exhibit at the Center for #JewishHistory."

  5. Bonsoir #masto,

    Je suis à la recherche d'un site qui expliquerait l'origine des trop nombreux mots péjoratifs, expressions et injures #racistes rentrés dans le langage courant.

  8. People are often kind only to those who look obviously needy or disabled. If someone's weakness is invisible, people often assume everything is OK and expect that person to measure up to society's expectations for healthy people.

  10. "Long before most institutions fully understood the dangers of #online #radicalization, #antisemitic ideas were already finding new life in #conspiracy culture, political #extremism and ideological movements across the spectrum. Some mistook a decline in public acceptability for a decline in the hatred itself.

    Today, we are at another inflection point, but this one is far more urgent. #Antisemitism is no longer confined to the fringes, and its resurgence is part of a broader erosion of civic trust, shared facts and democratic norms. History has repeatedly shown that when antisemitism rises openly, it is rarely only a #Jewish problem. It is often a warning sign of a society becoming more vulnerable to extremism, #polarization and #intolerance more broadly."

  14. A quotation from Henry Commager

    A nation which, in the name of loyalty or of patriotism or of a sincere and high-sounding idea, discourages criticism and dissent, and puts a premium on acquiescence and conformity, is headed for disaster.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1949-11-05), “What Ideas Are Safe?” Saturday Review

  16. Experts say in the 1990s, 20 years after the draft ended, the #military shifted to pull disproportionately from #conservative-leaning areas of the country. Then the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, pushed ideas of #religious #war into the fore. The Air Force Academy in the 1990s & early 2000s faced investigations & #litigation over allegations that #religious #intolerance & #proselytizing were rampant.

  18. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    We are stubborn because we are narrow-minded; it is hard to believe what is beyond the scope of our vision.
     
    [La petitesse de l’esprit fait l’opiniâtreté, et nous ne croyons pas aisément ce qui est au delà de ce que nous voyons.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶265 (1665-1678) [tr. Heard (1917), ¶273]

    ― I can afford the luxury of locking and pruning things such as <redd.it/1qyaul3>.

    Note what's linked from my pinned comment in the sub:

    — <redd.it/18jp8vn>

    My pinned comment in October 2025 was less ambiguous: "Would you like help with your cowardly (locked) homophobic and factually incorrect rant about FreeBSD?"

    reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/

    User cfx_4188 has just one thing pinned to his profile, an incoherent rant about same-sex and stoning people:

    ― <redd.it/1mc7hgd>

    – I guess he was high on bad skunk at the time. It's locked, of course; he's the type of coward who's unwilling to discuss.

  28. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    The anatomy of patriotism is complex. But surely intolerance and public irresponsibility cannot be cloaked in the shining armor of rectitude and righteousness. Nor can the denial of the right to hold ideas that are different — the freedom of man to think as he pleases. To strike freedom of the mind with the fist of patriotism is an old and ugly subtlety.

    Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
    Speech (1952-08-27), “The Nature of Patriotism,” American Legion Convention, Madison Square Garden, New York City

  29. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions — bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities. Whoever seeks to set one race against another seeks to enslave all races. Whoever seeks to set one religion against another, seeks to destroy all religion.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
    Speech (1940-11-01), Campaign Address, Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York

  32. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of a man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign, and believe there, by the grace of God alone!

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Lecture (1840-05-15), “The Hero as Priest,” Home House, Portman Square, London
