A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
All the martyrs in the history of the world are not sufficient to establish the correctness of an opinion. Martyrdom, as a rule, establishes the sincerity of the martyr, — never the correctness of his thought. Things are true or false in themselves. Truth cannot be affected by opinions; it cannot be changed, established, or affected by martyrdom. An error cannot be believed sincerely enough to make it a truth.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

Who Will Be Romero Today?
Romero Rally Flyer 1990On this day we remember Archbishop Óscar Romero, murdered on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass. The church remembers him not simply as a tragic victim, but as a martyr whose blood was joined to the blood of the people he refused to abandon. Vatican sources still name him what so many already knew him to be in life: a “voice of the voiceless,” assassinated at the altar because he would not stop speaking for the poor.
Romero was killed soon after one of the most fearless sermons of the twentieth century. Addressing soldiers and police, he said that they were killing their own campesino brothers and sisters, and that God’s law stood above the commands of violent men: “Thou shalt not kill.” He declared that no soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of God, and he ended with that thunderous plea: “In the name of God… cease the repression!”
That is why Romero remains dangerous. He did not speak in abstractions. He did not bless power from a safe distance. He did not soothe the conscience of empire. He named the sin directly. He named the victims directly. He named the moral responsibility of those ordered to carry out injustice. And for that, he was silenced by a bullet at the altar. Yet even in death he was not silenced, because martyrdom is a form of speech the powers of this world do not know how to answer.
Ten years later, in 1990, his name was still summoning people into the streets. The flyer for the Washington march commemorating Romero’s assassination called for an end to U.S. war in Central America, a march from the Capitol to the White House, and even nonviolent civil disobedience after the rally. It named the demands plainly: end U.S. aid to El Salvador, withdraw U.S. advisers, stop repressing the people, end the war against Nicaragua, lift the trade embargo, normalize relations. That call was real, and it was public. It survives in archival collections even now.
And I remember that day not as a line in a history book but as something lived in the body. Ten years after Romero’s assassination, I was arrested outside the White House after I and other activists built a miniature Central American village there. We were trying, in our small and vulnerable way, to make visible what policy papers and patriotic speeches tried to hide: villages, families, campesinos, the poor, the disappeared, the threatened, the dead. We were insisting that Central America was not a chessboard for Washington, but a place of human beings made in the image of God.

It is terrifying reading the political speeches of #IRI officials and military.
The same, sad, arrogance of those in late 1980s when #Khomeini said he would slap Saddam so hard, he would never be able to get up, leading 10s of thousands of young people to their death against US, France, UK, Italy, German, Saudi, UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Morroco backed army of #Saddam
These lunatics grow up dreaming of #martyrdom, they don't give a shit how many 1000s die fighting yet another war!

"These swamps were also crawling with renegades 125 years ago, poachers seeking their treasure at “Cuthbert Rookery,” an isolated, secret spot that was bejeweled with countless egrets, ibises, herons, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, and other wading birds." —Mike Kane for The Bitter Southerner

"#Trump was posthumously awarding #CharlieKirk America’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
👉I report on the recurrence of #Totalitarianism👈
“#Totalitarian movements... make use of mass loneliness and isolation, transform the mass of people into a crowd capable of acting in concert, and 👉foster the #Idolization of leaders and the glorification of #Martyrdom as instruments of collective identity👈.”

Btw, that #idea that #privilege makes you #morally evil and #suffering makes you morally good is just repackaged versions of the #Christian concepts of the evils of #luxury and the holiness of #martyrdom. Hope this helps!

America's far right now has a #martyr: Charlie Kirk.
Martyrs are used by messianic movements to sanctify violence. To show any mercy or understanding toward the enemy is to betray the martyr and the martyr's cause.
Chris Hedges is both a Pullitzer-winning journalist and a theology graduate. He writes of how the assassination of Charlie Kirk presages a new, deadly stage in the disintegration of the polsrized United States.

Ah, the tragic plight of the tech-savvy martyr, doomed to endless toil by their own #cleverness. 🙄 Apparently, knowing how to automate batch files is akin to carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. 😂 Somewhere, #Sisyphus is laughing and rolling his eyes.

So they're dangling "the death penalty" now for saving thousands of patients from slow painful deaths from a corrupt insurer.. Well, that's one way of getting rid of all the CEOs in 2025, because once you make Luigi a Martyr there will be at least 1,000 more all over the world to take his place, then the Corrupt CEOs really WILL be on the run.
